I know a few singers who post on their fansites and iteract with their fans that way... why doesn't Prince do that here or on 3121.com?
Wouldn't it be nice to know what he is working on and when he is planning a concert? or if he will be making a TV appearance...

He probably doesn't want to acknowledge that he knows The Org exists. And then again, he's not exactly famous for communicating with people.

'cause he might have to sue himself, at some point.
Really, that's a good idea. Just as there's that new blog link, there could be a Prince blog.

Is that even geniune?

That's not Prince. He would have requested his name have one of those bar things under it...like the Mods.

Have you seen what's been written by his "fans" about him since the org's been up? I'd be shocked if he could get through one thread without going, "Fuck all of em, I'm done,"

Oh, he posts here.

I think he must at least read the org every now and then if for even marketing info. Yahoo! Internet Life - June 2001:http://princetext.tripod.com/i_yil01.html

Y-Life: Have you been in chatrooms devoted to your work?

Prince: A couple of times—not much. When I first started, I tried one
time to unify a group splintered by whether I was still"funky" or not. That question still goes on, obviously. But what ended up happening was that I got a webmaster out of it—Sam Jennings, who runs the NPG site out of Chicago. But I guess what I find beautiful on the Internet is wherever I find agreement. That's beautiful even to people who are full of hate.

Wonder what chatroom he was refering to? Be interesting to read the thread he posted in.

I'm gonna go with that... and just leave it there.
We all have our theories.
And I have mine.

Because he's too busy with the HQ

I was kinda thinking the samthing!

What makes you think that he doesn't? You'd never know it if he did....could come here as a semi-regular to read and play along.

he used to post very occasionally as"the watcher" and aother name which escapes circa 2001/2002-until he got rumbled by a few

There was something a little like that on npgmc once

They posted a track up and sent out an email saying something like:

'prince has just recorded this song, and he thinks it needs something extra...what do u think?'

a forum was up so you could post your thoughts

never heard the song again after!

He kind of did the interent to death at the end of the 90s to the early 00s

I guess any time he spent on the net would be time spent away from making music...and that would be a bad thing!

While I'd love it too, i guess he only has so much time

(i miss going the reflection room, and the glam slam pages each week to hear what song was up!)

interesting link, thanks for posting!

I believe, there could be a day that Prince would knowingly chat, and if he chose to do so, Prince would advertise that electronic gathering...I know of a few preachers' that organize these evening chats a month ahead of time, and dedicate two hours a month to discuss these issues. Maybe someday Prince will do that for his fans.

pplrain said:

Because the Org is unoffical, it's got nothing to do with Prince. Some folks think he and/or his people lurk on here and other fansites though.

Prince is not like other entertainers. He hires other people to do these things for him. trust me somebosys aware.

Because the crazy stalker fans post all over this site....

Trust me. Stars and their associates lurk around websites devoted to them from time-to-time, regardless of whether or not they're official.

He doesn't have time for nonsense. He has a lot on his mind: God, Music, Pussy's, Pancakes etc.....

There were strong rumours/feelings that Prince was posting under the name PlanetEarth in the concerts forum whilst the London gigs were happening.

Also it was rumoured that TheNewWatcher was Prince.

Noone knows for sure. I think he lurks at least.

I wonder...Is it possible one of us might be him??

Don't worry it's not me

anon said:

just by thinking of prince reading and posting n a message board...no thanks

i would stop liking him straight away

purpleoz said:

awww, this reply made me smile. he's so cute.

really good interview also, probably the best prince interview ever (not saying a whole lot, but ehh). through all his being weird, horny and funky it's not often appreciated by the masses that he's also a hell of a lot smarter than your average artist

Interesting....

no way, Prince has way too many things to do than to regularly look at these sites. I've wondered about it too but then I think about how busy I am in my normal little life and how little time I have, then to think of how much more a guy like Prince has to do, no way, just no way.
