from a former "fam".

I just have to get this out to people who would understand. I know there are a lot of you who still love him the same way as you did 10 years ago and I'm jealous of you. I wish I could see past the man Prince is and see him as solely and amazing performer and musician.....

Prince needs to wake up. Without “fams” like the ones on the sites he is suing, who would pay for his INSANE concert ticket prices? Who else would buy his less than impressive current albums? It says enough that he has to give them away. Without his “fams” he wouldn’t have that pretty Paisley building of his.

Prince needs to get away from Princeland for a while and join the real world.

Thankfully I've moved on from being the huge "fan" I was before. Most of my memorbililia is sold off and I haven't been to a concert in years.

I'm thankful for the memories and the music but I just can't respect Prince as a human being anymore. After how he treated Mayte (probably Manuela too), his staff, his "fams..."

He's lucky people still love Purple Rain so much. (yeah, I went there.)

I never thought of covering up my symbol tattoo until recently. That's really depressing to me. Thankfully the symbol represents the album more to me than him.

Again, this is my 2 cents. I know the .org is famous for word wars but I come in peace. I'm not going to go into the "OMGZ Prince you are still the bestest!" topics and rant. Like I said above, I'm jealous of those who can love him the same.

Much much love,
Cassandra

I do know how some Fams/Fans feel, but i think its been blown out of all proportion.

One Question how do you or anyone Knows how he treated Mayte or Manuela, no one knows about thier Personal lives other than them. REMEMBER THIERS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.

Isn't this where it all starts to go wrong? You don't KNOW how he treated Mayte or Manuela - do you? You make that statement like you know him. I'm assuming you don't! smile

You have to do what you have to do, but if you're leasving don't blame it on the way Prince has treated anybody else that's none of your business. What has he personally done to you? NOTHING, you don't even know him. He's got a right to control the work that he has put his heart asnd soul into, and if he takes videos off the internet or his own pictures down , so what they're HIS pictures. Do you have a life outside of the internet? Because if you do you will find that Prince has not affected that at all.

What exactly is your point? If I understand you right - you used to like prince but now you don't.

Fascinating stuff. And your reason for starting this thread would be?

Me, too, except I'm not jealous at all of people who are madly in love with him. I don't have the same level of respect that I've had for him for many, many years. I consider myself now to be a "casual listener", and only of his older stuff..

I'm feeling the same way. I kinda feel like we have awaken a sleeping giant. I hope I'm dead wrong but I have this really dark sense that something bad is going to happen in all of this.

The ONLY people that say he's "great" to work with are the PEOPLE HE'S WORKING WITH NOW.

How much of a dick do you know you ARE, when you make EVERYONE that works with you sign a contract that says if you talk about him after he FIRES YOU, that you're opening yourself up to a lawsuit?

Yes I know he hasn't done anything to me but the way he treated a friend of mine that worked VERY close to him and how he was with Mayte. I know how he was with Mayte because I do know her. It's amazing how much she is florishing without being under his thumb.
