Actually I saw a free concert on Direct TV... and yeah... Stevie was The One.
His hands moved so fast, they were always a blur. And he would play that fast and intense the whole night... then play some more after the concert.



He truly was awesome.
RIP

I love these proclamations. Prince has been this way his whole career. I control freak contradiction. A dick and and great guy. Black and white, Mainstream and underground. These dualties has ruled his universe since the beginning of his career.
After all this is the same guy that didn't credit band members for certain contributions or songs and then gives whole albums away with no credit. A guy who makes a super band with the time and then tells them not to do certain dances.
He is such a control freak he threw engineers out of the studio and taught himself how to do everything. Got involved in the design of his clothes and every aspect of the process.
He a fuckin dick- a beautiful, f'd up contradiction. In a world of timid fake pop stars he's a true genius PRICK. And I love it.
Does that include trying to control fans gatherin in a lover fuck to praise him with pictures and discussion. Shit yeah.
I take what I get...if he shuts down something...I chuckle and move on. That's prince and if you haven't learned that by now- after following him for as some say 20 plus years- sorry.
To me prnce is the ultimate non-mainstream because he doesn't give a fuck..and tomorrow he will give a fuck. He'll tell tiberland he aint' there yet instead of sucking his dick.And you now what- he ain't there yet...
fuck you prince..
Long live the king

I do agree with you but, i think p is so tired the last few years. i started to notice it in paris 2002.It's a long story to tell...but i think he just wants to rest in quitness 'cause he's overdone.

Love the 'look at me' posts

yeah, what do they call that when an artists/entertainer does some last big tours to make a bundle to live comforatable through thier retierment?

You'll be back, trust me.

Send me a PM when you come back so I can say,"I told you so".

ashynevermind said:

NO! Mail it to me! Please.... (You probably don't remember but you mailed me something very nice once before... )

I feel ya---I haven't been in the mood to listen to Prince music for several weeks now. I refuse to visit his official website until PFU and PRN come to a mutually agreeable solution. He's acting like a complete jack ass for no good reason. I can empathsize with the Pirate Bay and O2 photo issues, but the fansite demands are ridiculuous, not to mention not legally valid.

But I gotta say, I think you'll be back. (Another reason not to send your stuff to Paisley....plus, they won't appreciate it like I will! )

Yo, you need to stop being such a drama queen. Grow up and listen to Parade for Christ sake.

For anyone else here who wants to start an "I'm done with Prince" thread, use this thread as an example for the type of responses you will get. If you must be done with Prince, and you know your ass will be back 6 months after you are "done", then just leave. Don't make a big deal out of it cause all these responses here will go right to you. Trust.

I don't know how, but I lost my fan after I had it for only about 3 weeks.

I had it set up so that it would oscillate the length of my bed as I slept.

Best god-damn 3 weeks of my life.....

horatio said:

One thing, I wouldn't send anything back to Paisley Park. Don't punish yourself. Why does Prince get so upset over little things like the kid dancing to Let's Go Crazy? Who knows. I figure there must be something wrong with him.So,when he does something, don't take it seriously and enjoy the concerts and the cds.As far as other musicians, I haven't found any that has a better concert or anybody for that matter that has an after show, and I have never found any other musician in the world that gave 3 concerts in one day.

So, if you stop buying his cds and attending his shows, you're only hurting yourself, because noone knows when you're not there, because someone else will fill your seat. 26 years? Wow

too much good musicians out there???
[Edited 11/25/07 5:21am]

Seriously you think all 26 of your years were great?

you know at least 8 of them years were crap. And I'm being generous.I am not a P-rince fan anymore but I like this site, I like the people and I like making fun of P-rince and I still like the music of the Prince of the old days. Just cuz I refuse to spend a cent on P-rince doesn't mean I can't still kick it with those orgers who do.

ashynevermind said:

"Does anyone else feel like I do?"

NOPE. BYE!!

Can we get a "I'm no longer a Prince fan after fill in the blank years" sticky thread?

PurpleCharm said:

Agree.

As long as we can get stickies for....

"Why are there so many haters here?"
"Lets show Prince some love"
"OMG!"

ashynevermind said:[quote]Not that it's going to matter to him or anyone else, but I am finally finished with Prince. I'll keep all my old stuff, but only because it brings out great memories from my childhood. As for newer official and/or unofficial material I've decided to mail all of it back to Paisley Park just like he wanted us to a few years back.

It strikes such a chord in me that he would want this community of fans on the .org to silence ourselves, when all we're doing 99.9% of the time is adoring him and his music - well not anymore, for me at least.

Whether this site of Fams or Housequake get removed or not, the damage has been done with me. I've always known to be self absorbed and arrogant, but as long as he didn't punish his fans with his shortcomings it was alright with me. Well, he's finally done it. Does anyone else feel like I do?

There's just too much good music and musicians out there for me to waste anymore years on this one.

Farewell orgers, it has been a pleasure,

I don't understand this personal element to love of one's music that people attach to their favourite artists. You're talking like you're breaking up with him.

Prince Rogers Nelson is probably an asshole. "Prince", the commercial commodity, is entertaining and wonderful. Separate the two.

SquirrelMeat said:

Don't forget these ones...

"Has Prince lost it?"

"The Rainbow Children is brilliant!"

"_____ is a Prince ripoff!"

Those threads are about who? Prince? on prince.org in the Prince:Music and More forum? huh?

As someone posted a few post up, this is a 'look at me' thread.

Being a silent walker is not a bad thing.

I lost my virginity after 18 yrs..
I found it again after an additional 16.

All things tend to return with enough diligence & patience.




Holla.

Prince is making a big mistake by attacking people with stupid C&D's and lawsuits. I think he is suffering from a God complex mental illness. He wants to control everything and it aint gonna happen.

Me too, I don't want to spend anymore money on this *****, except if he releases CB ccompilations unedited or a tour with W & L.

SquirrelMeat said:

So... you think that criticism against Prince should be banned from the site?
I can be both a fan and a critic! As long as there is some weight and reason in the criticism.

I am having it hard to believe that you only want a forum filled with brown-nosers?

this person has a right 2 there feelings yo. i'm fed up as well but i'm not going 2 throw away my collection at all so devoted can get her greedy hands on it but i won't b contributing 2 prince's fortune either from now on. so i should listen 2 parade 2 settle my grievance? naw that's okay i would rather listen 2 the gold experience era where that motherfucker was making it clear why he was doing the things he was doing and 2 hell with those showing up at his shows begging 2 hear little red corvette. give me the days of wild any day over the has been sets he's been doing these past few years.

Easy org people. While I agree that most that quit P return we all should kinda understand where asheynevermind is coming from. Any long term person whose followed his career should know he demands the utmost loyalty and tests that loyalty severely. As for myself I've gotten older and let it ride off my back because as I see it the music speaks for itself, the antics are just plain tired. So there's no reason for hostility, in fact I understand just go in peace ashynevermind but there is no shame in admitting in the future you over-reacted and return to the org!
