How to become a Prince fan!

I came across this item on Amazon.com written by tarek s. hussein


To be a Prince fan the first album you should get is Purple Rain Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain", Purple Rain is the album that made him a superstar. This is the album everyone has and loves. Now that you listened to the music watch the movie, Purple Rain. After you have been enducted as a Prince fan buy 1999 1999, and Sign o the Times Sign 'O' the Times. You will find those 3 albums on every entertainments 100 best albums ever list. Now after you have discovered he is a genius and an awesome rare artist I advise you to buy Lovesexy a fan favorite and listen to Annestisia and fall in love. Now that you know you are a Prince fan purchase the funky early 80s albums Dirty Mind, and Controversy. Now you are wondering is there any concert videos of him, yes you would buy Prince and the Revolution Purple Rain Tour Prince & the Revolution: Live and you will be fascinated of what he can do on stage. Then buy the Sign O the Times concert, Sign 'O' the Times and watch it and be in awe. Then as you have become a Prince fanatic dare yourself to watch Graffiti Bridge and laugh and cry ( u will know what i mean) then if you want more buy Under the Cherry Moon and laugh and cry but if you want funk buy the soundtrack Parade: Music from the Motion Picture "Under the Cherry Moon" and u will have dance fever!Then if you are curious about his early albums buy Prince Prince and fall in love with those R & B tunes. Now you are a Prince addict and buy Around the World in a Day, Diamonds and Pearls, Batman and Prince & The New Power Generation, now you have discoveres he once changed his name to a symbol and his music isn't as good as it was, no more Purple Rain? Wrong buy The Gold Experience and simply fall in love again with him. Now you love his music and love those old hits but what about those hits you havent heard those b-sides? buy this The Hits/The B-Sides and you will be so surprised how many tight songs there are on there. But you are so addicted you search in stores now for other albums and purchase them but say yeah I have all the mediocre prince albums from the 0(+> era what essential recordings can I get that I like? Have no fear One Night Alone Live is hear! Now you discover there are many songs from Rainbow Children? then you buy Come, Emancipation, Rave, and Chaos and Disorder thinking what happened to all those catchy tunes and miss them once again. But you find... and miss those old school videos of those hits so you buy... then you urge to find more videos and you get Diamonds and Pearls hits Diamonds and Pearls and Sexy Mf video and 3 Chains o Gold and the Rave concert . Then the Get Off video. No more videos untill you buy Prince Unauthoirxed vhs and see that it is a bad documentary. You switch to the magazines Uptown which you find at Tower Records. Then you have all the albums including The Black Album, The Vault, For You, and Crystall Ball, and all those maxi singles? Then you treasure hunt for those special vinyls at the z-shops. You saw fare well and wait again for another release from this genius? But you wait so long you join the NPG music club and get all his releases. Now you look back at the 80s and all his great albums and say thank you Purple Rain!

Then you register yo-self to prince.org,
say goodbye to both your life & that part of your brain that is responsible for your sense of logic,
and you're all set.

I wanna be your lover is where I got on the boat, and then It was For you less than a month later...wherever you get on the boat...there's still room for a hundred more to musically float on the stream of conciousness to a purple shore.

Could you break this up into parragraphs so I can read it?

Thanks!
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside
