I've been a Prince admirer for many years, and rarely post here, cuz I'm busy with my own life n stuff...BUT...I always keep up on what's going on with the man, and I can't help but notice, there seems to be an obsessive situation with certain people on the ORG...I love the ORG, cuz I get great info on P, and I really appreciate some of the info that is posted here...WHAT is up with some of these folks though??? For God sakes!!!...Appreciate talent, be influenced in a positive way, and carry that into your own life, as I have, but realise that P is just a human being...talented no doubt, but leave it at that!...I'm a musician myself, and have experienced things like this, on a much smaller level...but beyond great musicianship, and a love for life...why is it that some people feel Prince somehow..."SEES THEM"..."KNOWS THEM"??...Prince is doing a job people, and he is great at what he does...Be good at what you do, and respect him and his band for what they do...Love life, love good people, and have fun...but DON'T think that you are going to be saved by Prince...Love the music!!!...God Bless

But who could you possibly be talking about...?!

my guess is that this is an "in general" sorta thread.

I can't think of anyone here who would come across as verging on the crazy side...

adoreme said:

i can think of several...past and present...

Sorry that was sarcasm...a bad habit I am truly ashamed of.

adoreme said:

sarcasm's good...

For many people here, this is like an online Star Trek Convention, except it's about Prince. It's their jobs to be obsessed. I personally have only done about 230 posts, and I always feel as though I spend too much time here. Now there's a 7000 post club??? wow! And keep in mind, I joined the new org as soon as it came up, so I started at the same time as those 7000 posters.

Very perceptive...ha ha ha

But isn't it a given by now that Natasha is ???

Now I'm not obsessed, but I have a urge 2 have questions answered. What is Prince.org 4? OBSESSED PRINCE FAMS and regular fams alike. If U got a problem with it, well what can u du make us disappear? There r obsessed fans over EVERYTHING! Yeah I got a life, u gotta life,we gotta life, what we choose 2 du is what is what we choose 2 du.

We could be at work, we could be on our day off, we could be laid off, we could be sneaking on here, u never know. What makes u so special? Because u aint on here as much as us.

I aint mad atcha, just getting thoughts across

Nothing wrong with being obsessed,,its a free country

Fair enough...Well I did mention that I like to get my Prince info too, and I was careful to express exactly what I meant by "obsessed"...What I mean, is that it seems to consume some people's lives, and that everything they say and do is because of Prince...Appears like they aren't getting on with their own life...I like Prince's music and talents as much as anyone here (admirer since his first album)...I just have concern for people who let their interest in someone become everything to them...I'm certainly not a judgemental person, nor do i think I'm better than anyone...I have an opinion, and like I said, take the positive vibes you get from the man, and carry it into your own life, but keep it real. I'm cool with u 2...Peace

You really R a sensitive motha phucker!

PRINCE IS A TALENTED SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN WHO PUT OUT A LOT OF GOOD 80'S STUFF. HE PUT OUT A LOT OF GOOD 90'S STUFF, BUT A LOT OF BAD 90'S STUFF,TOO.
HIS BOOTLEGS MAKE YOU KEEP THE FAITH THAT HE IS MORE THAN A HAS-BEEN, WHILE "NPS" AND "RAVE' WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE.
IF YOU PAY FOR NPGMC, THEN YOU HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN PRINCE, SINCE HE ISN'T HOLDING UP HIS END OF THE BARGIN.
BUT IF YOU DO MORE THAN JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC, IF YOU PLAY, "BAND MEMBER SURVIVOR" ON WWW.PRINCE.ORG, IF YOU RANT ABOUT MAYTE DOING HIM WRONG, AND ORDER "GET WILD" PERFUME...

I JUST COME HERE FOR THE NEW RELEASE INFO, I AM AT TURNS AMUSED AND SAD BY THE POSTINGS HERE.

NO WOONDER PRINCE CAN GET AWAY WITH HIS POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES WITH NPGME, WHEN YOU HAVE FOLLOWERS RESEMBLING THE "RAVE" SHEEP, HOW CAN YOU FEEL ANY RESPECT TOWARD"THE SO-CALLED FANS"*

*-QUOTE FROM HIS LARRY KING LIVE APPEARANCE

I dont think it would B cool 2 B truly obsessed w/ Prince. That time is over.
Now if U R really EXCITED about him...thats a different story.

What if you play Album Survivor???

Please what a stupid-assed thread. If you Indeed are talking about me you are Retarded. You should Live my Life! I am Always busy. I tend to do too many things at once and just Never sleep or Relax. I'm not Obsessed. I simply won't Deal with People who aren't Positive about him. Yes,I'd have a baby for him if he wanted me to. I'd do Anything for Him and why not? His music has made me Happy time and Time again. His videos are Fun to watch. His Concerts are Amazing. Sometimes,I just do Idolize him ,but so what. I absolutely Do find him Gorgeous and yes, I always liked his Type. If it wasn't Prince well it was the Puerto Rican guy in my class. Yes,I Always went out with Musicians. Being a Band Girl. So to Say I'm Obsessed and all thinking Prince will Save the World? I Don't think like that. That's Stupid. In my Opinion Guys just don't Understand and maybe some Females don't Either,but Prince is extremely Sexy and Hot . I find him Breathtaking! If you wanna make Fun or Diss him be ready for Me to Diss U!

I'M OBESSED WITH PRINCE, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS MAN :LUV2: YOU MEAN 2 TELL ME THERE'S LIFE OUTSIDE OF PRINCE? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT... I THOUGHT THAT ONLY PURPLE CLOUDS EXSISTED IN MY WORLD. IF I CAN'T HAVE A WORLD WITHOUT PRINCE THEN I DON'T THINK I COULD LIVE ... I AM OBESSED YOU KNOW OH DAMMIT ALL TO HELL, PRINCE WHY'D YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR MUSIC SO DARN ADDICTIVE ...

NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE'LL BE TELLING ME THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS :ROLL:
