It reminds me of how I feel about Anxiety.

Protege said:

Same here. I mean, see my marriage. I'm quite fond of my wife, sometimes, but she doesn't like me. It doesn't mean I can't grope her and force her to have sex with me when she doesn't feel like it, just as nothing says Imago can't come here, put Prince's head on someone else's body, all the while knowing that Prince hates him.

Fauxie said:

Prince doesnt hate his fans...he hates that he cant tell us all what to do.

I think he hates needing fans.
likes the fame, loves the money I sure no matter what he says, loves the crowds dancing and sing along to his music, but hates he more or less their employee without who's support he would be nobody.
Prince couldn't handle being nobody.

imago is having a rough day.

royalshyness said:

This statement is profound in it's simplicity. I agree with you 100%. I guess those feelings is that what helps makes Prince so complex.

Imago said:

Bwahahaha! That coming from someone who grew up in a Thai brothel... maybe it is your anus.

pplrain said:

So much anger! See? This is why Prince hates you pplrain.



Well, that and your hoo-hoo smells like get wild perfume

Imago said:

Imago said:

Now you've gone ahead and insulted all the orgers who spray their hoo-hoos with that shit in order to feel closer to Prince.

imago, you will never learn.

i understand what you mean, but in my opinion, there's really nothing that complex about looking at other people and not liking what you see.

some things and people are downright toxic, but the point seems to be, if you see toxicity, then you're just looking at your own because your mind in that moment is thinking in a separative toxic way in order to recognise the toxicity.

its just a perception really, like you can look at toxic thoughts and ask yourself "are these things harming me or are they really just pleas for my help and love?"

LOVE elevates a toxic artist-fan relationship to its rightful place in cyberspace which is where suddenly, the toxicity he doesnt like is no longer toxic anymore, its quite suddenly harmless, and its a call for help more than anything else.

it doesnt make hatefulness and disrespect right, but it gives you a clearer perspective on whats really going on beneath all that.

that being said, and in the words of Michael Jackson hehe -

"i'm starting with the man in the mirror,
i'm asking him to change his ways,
and no message could have been any clearer...

if you wanna make the world
a better place
take a look at yourself
and make the change..

make that change

crowd goes wild rah rah etc...

if i find something toxic, i look to my own perspective and try to fix it. this is the internet remember... its completely perspective based.

the other thing to keep in mind is that everyone is at different stages of their own personal growth and its all quite OK.

he can turn his computer off anytime he wants, and if the toxicometer hits the redzone too many times than he can accept lovingly, he can just do what i do and ignore it.

it only gets worse the more u feed it.

if he sees his fans as purely interfering with his ability to make money, then its probably just his subconscious telling him he's got too much of it, by reflecting that back to him through his fans excessive behaviour.

if he doesnt like his privacy being invaded, i'd very gently remind him, that is an entirely erroneous perception, because we are all part of the One Big Thing and the more you cling to your sense of separateness from everyone else, the more it will sting when people prod you to believe otherwise, by outright invading your privacy.

see its simple really.






yay i had to edit lol

I can't prove it's not true.

I think he doesn't like having fans because there's too many to "fix" or "control".


He likes to perfect things but how do you perfect a stadium full of people?

Fans are something way out of his power and control, so he's almost afraid of us (plus he's really short).

JustErin said:

Wait! Wouldn't that burn?

We the fans have to admit, that as an audience now armed with the technologies to appropriate, mix and rework photos, videos and music in this new digital participatory age, we have put him/his image through the mill, not to mention his IP rights. It must take mounds of emotional maturity to see beyond all that and stay sane and loving.

Flo6 said:

quite the parasitic flesh fest yes.

mounds of maturity, sanity and love..

never need a lawyer.

i guess we have to wait and see..

purplesweat said:

lol i dont think his shortness has anything to do with with him being afraid. hes alot taller than he looks. and that question above your sentence is very true. you cant perfect the thoughts of people making them how you want them to think of you. each and everyone is their own. when youre in a high position like he is of course you need to have control by your side. he is not afraid of anything but he knows himself and only himself. whether your fame goes up or down just imagine a world full of people thinking that you are not cool or not as cool as you used to be. peoples opinion becomes general and they think that youre not cool when you really are cool. even though that coolness may not be so visible today that coolness does exist because people like people on this board are witnesses to that. he may not be afraid but he knows exactly what to avoid. shame. false shame that is. it is when people think of you as unworthy or worthless, dont give you respect and treat you like a lowlife like you aint as equal or special as them. and it becomes a general thing then people treat you in an incorrect way and prince tries to avoid that because he knows it is not true. imagine the world not treating or talking to you right because it is a false misjudgment. there is good fear and there is bad. of course a man of his position would want to avoid that. the world will treat you what they will. they can see prince but they cant see prince. just imagine prince himself knowing that hes the best musician in the world and plays any instrument and that he is a very powerfully athorative and unique individual with shapes patterns and colors and genuinity no one has and people treat him like sh// because they dont understand his language of music. ever heard of murders when a girlfriend dies and the public blames it all the boyfriend and he knows in his heart that he didnt do anything? then the court judges him as not guilty but the world suspects or still thinks that he did it and recognizes his face everywhere and still thinks the same thing even after ten years? thats shame and that kind of shame is not even true for the kid. you live with that even though you dont deserve it. youre like 'why God why?'. you cannot control peoples minds but you can try to change it and to control a whole population of prince fans or people who just like him is hard. to have public respect is very very important even though everyone in the world has done bad things, when youre on tv internet or anything its difficult to get respect or love back when you screw up, have an opinion, turn people off, disgust them, make 'wrong' music, wear clothes/make up they wouldnt wear and sometimes being yourself. not only does prince neccesarily need to control the fans and people who just like him and people who dont like/ hate him but respect him, but also the media sometimes because they have power and impact. but of course prince will do what he wills. hes not a slave/people pleaser. he has two choices: instinctivly obey himself and do what is neccessary. the two directions will either take him left or right. sometimes north and south. his whole career was always like that and still is. prince is powerful and with that comes great control. and mind changing sometimes. even though he really doesnt care what the f/// people think. try making a baby eat its food times 100,000,000. thats hard lol

has he ever treated anyone like that?

has he ever been condescending?

has he ever say - misjudged anyone?


we dont come to this earth to be popular.

we come to make it a better place by helping others through what we do, to see the love within and all around us.

some of the most loving geniuses in recent and even ancient history did that - and they my friend were far from popular.

they were too cool to even care about that fallacy of perception - or even desire the need for it.

i only care what GOD thinks.

no1 else.
