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 can understand where you're coming from.
Just with any relationship, mine has been periods of not wanting to deal with Prince and his antics to being back into him again cause after all, I simply love his music.

I've seen him enough to get the full experience.
The Vegas thing was the beginning of the end for me though.
7/7/07 was a great experience and if he does more of that I'll be there, but Vegas was a little dull for me.

To sum it up, I have a back and forth thing going.
Will I ever keep going forth and be done, that's the question.

"I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to see you laughing..."

love

You'll come back...everyone always does, in one form or another.
As for listening to other great musicians, sure, they're out there and I encourage you to try them all...but keep this in mind....because of Prince, I have been turned on to many, many musicians and singers. TTD, Sly, Miles Davis, Amy Winehouse...and it works the other way around too...great musicians gravitate towards Prince, they would be nuts NOT to want to work with the best musician on this planet. In other words, you may go crazy for Van Hunt, but, don't cha think in his future is a crazy compilation with Prince?

Prince is a crab, but everyone else is imitation crabmeat, ya dig?

u need 2 get ur ass along 2 his next show (if it happens of course!)
all will b 4given..
yes, he's being a james blunt at present, but whatever will b will b..
i shan't worry unless the site closes, but then i would b truly turned off by him.
i agree there's plenty of really good music out there, but let's face it, prince has added bonus of being incredibly HOT!

hold back 4 now from posting ur music back...

I'm sure he (and we) will cry into our pillows every night.

You know there has been times when I've given Prince a b slap. I've ranted to friends how the lil m'f can go to hell in a gasoline soaked wicker basket. But never have I lost my mind enough to throw away well over a thousand dollars worth of cd's and promotional items.

Be angry, that's cool, but don't you dare throw your money away.

I love Prince. Sorry, just had to say that. Sick of the negativity bringing everyone down. If everyone is sick of him then just stop being a fan. Simple as that, but moan after moan. When was Prince not controversial and a control freak, I mean just watch purple rain. This is no different. And I will finish as I started. I love Prince.

ashynevermind said:

I agree w every word u say. The "almighty Purple one" is pissing his fans off. And when the record sales drop, he can go and lie in the bed he made.

Well, I won't let the door hit me in the ass. Clearly there are a few of you who are ready for me to go. I thought I was sharing the way I feel with a group of people who could at least see where I was coming from. A part of me will always be a fan, but it blows my mind some of you can defend him when he is trying to shut down this very site. And worry not - I won't be posting any more whiny threads. Every other time I put up a post somebody's always gotta act like I should shut my mouth. Well, here you go - this is my last post.

Rudeness maketh the soul smaller...

Prince is protecting himself for the Right Reasons. Alot of negative thinkers out there are blowing it out of proportion. i'll always support Prince

ashynevermind said:

Well, I very politely say farewell and off you pop.

Take it easy...u know when u've had enough...Me though, I'm n it 4 the LONG haul...he will have 2 tell me PERSONALLY 2 hiz azz... ...Later on

Wha the hella you talking 'bout

horatio said:

I'm still interested in him, but only from a distance now. And I'm much happier for it

now, when he acts like a dickhead I can casually say "Not my problem anymore"

I'd rather be a "fan" of somebody like Lenny, who I really believe does have a lot more love in his heart

that 90's wanna be hippie love, its old hat.

I go back and forth about this whole thing. Well Prince has gotten on my nerves before, too! LOL My husband doesn't like Prince because he heard Prince snubbed Stevie Ray Vaughan here in Austin? I don't know. It's probably just another rumor. Stevie alledgely responded, "He might be the Prince, but I'm the "King," or something like that. You know how all this drama tends to snowball!

I don't agree with this latest situation. In fact, I'm actually sort of stunned he would take such measures. Why doesn't he sue SNL or others who have mocked him? They have the money to where he can collect.

I'm not sure if I will drop him completely because I DO love his music. I just wish there was some chance at communication between him and his fans, but I know that's an impossibility.


P. S. As far as my husband is concerned, nobody, but nobody mess with Stevie.. even Prince.
I just think it's a little overkill to take action against fansite when there are far many more threats out there..
