as the title says!


Mine would be: in this digital age - why dont you page me?


lame eh?

or more seriously:

are you dyslexic? my son is and i was just wondering at the occasional referencs to when i learn how to spell etc, and most dyslexics are extremely creative people. Many famous actors are such as Kiera Knightly, Tom Cruise and famous scientists like Einstein. So I was just wondering?

mine would be: Hey Prince, How Are They Hanging?

pro said:

How's what hanging exactly?

If it was in person, I would probably just ask Prince, how he was feeling.

I'd ask him 2 write me a song

I would ask him to please find a producer.

i'd cry and he wouldnt understand what i was saying anyways.. so he'd probably give me that wtf look and back away slowly

I'd sk him why he feels the need to be a paranoid asshole.

My question would be "why are you so cool?"

Sorry, it just reminds me of this old Ben Stiller skit he did for the VMA's years ago where he was re-enacting the Mtv show "Fanatic". In the show "Fanatic", a fan would get to interview their favorite celebrity. The fan was Bruce Springsteen, played by Stiller and the celebrity was Puffy, played by Puffy. The first question "Bruce" asked Puffy was "why are you so cool?"

mine would be: Would you like to swap lives with me for a week? He could do my job at a drug treatment service and i would do his shows. although he might want to look at the idea of refunds afterwards.

I'd burst into his dressing room and yell...

...the fuck is wrong witchoo, Kid?!

I don't know...it just seems appropriate right now.

if it had been anytime over the last 24 years of being a fan, it would have been something pleasant and ethereal, but now, from my own and far 2 many others recent xperiences, it would be "y u wanna treat me so bad ?" (u can add the next line 2 the song if u like, but personally i don't feel like it right now)

I've got 4 questions lined up for such an occasion.

1) If your songs are so personal, why you insist on sharing them with your listeners?
2) How/why did you write the song "Gold"?

Based on my one dream, I'd ask him this and see how he responses.

3) What inspires you?

and as a follow-up, I'd ask
4) What do you think makes you unique among all the other artists out there?

Oh and here's one last one I just thought up. [hopefully its not too harsh]
5) Many people who don't really know your music too well think of you as weird and/or as a freak. What would you say in response to their judgements?

good questions!!

I would add do u feel sad when people say cruel things about u?
do u wish u could just join in the crowd and eat out at wimpy or burgerking like other peeps do?
do u feel alone yet surrounded by people otherwse known as scallywags?

finally:

where do u get all ur english sayings from or should i say whom, like acturagenoturshoesize, scallywags amongst others?

inperson - now that would be a thing

Don't you agree that I would make a perfect Future Baby Mama? Let's pretend we're married...
Straight to the point!
But since I DID meet him and was only capable of saying "pleased to meet you" probably should come to terms that I missed my chance!!

Interesting thread, particularly since I just had a dream about him last night. No surprise really, because when I woke up I realized I fell asleep with the stereo on - playing some mellow Prince tunes on loop (like "Somewhere Here On Earth", "God", and "I Love U In Me"), along with some other stuff (like Peter Kater and R. Carlos Nakai's "Honorable Sky CD"). So that all is just to say, I gave this question some serious thought.

If I were close enough in proximity to even ask him a question, I wouldn't ask him any questions at all. I would just politely respond to whatever it was he was putting out, but I wouldn't bother him with questions. And honestly, I think anything I would want to know about him would reveal itself over time anyway (time that I WOULDN'T get if I started out asking him a bunch of questions, lol).

I know a dream is just a dream, and that we all have them; but after last night, for some reason I feel like I understand Prince better today than I ever had.
