So while browsing my other favored forum, NEOgaf, i had to do a double take when i saw the thread title...



Its the worlds largest video game forum, so when i saw that in the O/T thread i went clicky!

http://www.neogaf.com/for...p?t=226259

interesting thread...reading peoples opinions and such...90% incredibly positive!

hehehe im "Go319" in that forum...i'm about to plug my website and get ridiculed lol!

That really is surprising.

There are some nice posts on that.

(ninja scooter)...You know why a dog licks its balls? Because it can. Prince can do whatever the hell he damn well pleases.

Ha, ha! That was the same quote I copied ready to paste, only to find you'd beat me too it!!

It was nice to read a thread that 90% full on praise and the rest only slightly negative. Made a change!!!

mentalist said:

nice 2 c some objective opinions.

and that ain't HALF of what Prince can do!

"Finally, the whole damn ungrateful world is waking up to the genius that is Prince!"

That was really cool to read. It's so good to see the love that Prince is getting in places you wouldn't expect.

I agree Purplecam. It's actually nice to see people appreciate the man rather than tear him down. Thanks for posting the link!

If you check out other sites even gossip blogs. P gets a lot of love. Most of the haterade is found on Prince.org.

sweet, thanks for posting!

I know right? It's almost like you have to expect that nowadays. That piece was very refreshing.

I've noticed that on both points Laura. Very different to say the least.

Imagine if he actually had more content out there

purplecam said:

That is true, the only place where I see the man being routinely, viciously ripped to shreds is here.

So I like to see people who aren't all up in the man's personal life appreciate him for what he is, a man who has been blessed with a once-in-a-lifetime talent that he has tirelessy shared with audiences for 30 years.

Prince sure makes it look easy! He is so talented!!!

So why is it that no one's mentioned that the very examples everyone over there is praising are videos on the internet?

Or the people who are acknowledging they'd never seen them before someone posted the links to them?

Or the people acknowledging that Prince's rabid control of his image makes it difficult for people who want to appreciate his work to do just that?

Let me guess...that's being negative, right?

If only he'd actually be willing to let people hear and see what he can do. Youtube is a handy tool. Who cares if an artist doesn't get paid for the content? The buzz and word-of-mouth good vibes are irreplacable.

Nice post, although when I got to the comment that said 'and he plays seven instruments' I wanted to post a comment saying you probably need to put the number twenty in front of that seven.

hes awesome in many respects and there are many reasons to love about P.

It is not difficult to see or hear what Prince can do. People can purchase a concert ticket and you can still find boots if you look. We all managed before YOUTUBE came along and will manage if P is not on it.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Now why on Planet Earth would anyone go looking to find boots, isn't that what's got Prince's knickers in a bunch in the first place? Shame on you!

laurarichardson said:

Thanks this is wonderful

Trust me people are still looking and they are still out there. I don't have a problem with what P is doing. The problem is that he is about 15 years late on the boots.
