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.

of course he doesnt really need all these things to make music. studios,tapes,instruments,ect. he can make it with himself. but thats in another world.

Box said:

its not so far away either. there's nothing binding him to where he is except the opinions of other people who believe its where he belongs and whatever misconceptions he may currently have.

this 'another world' u mention, is only on the other side of a very thin veil between worlds, it is entered after purification, a change of perception and the lasting realisation that real freedom lives there.

he has every resource and means to get there if he wants to, and if he ever decides to do so, nothing and no1 will ever be able to convince him otherwise.

alternatively he can keep playing to a global audience who, with all respect, are predominantly only interested in flesh fests these days.

all the true music lovers are living it in their heart without the moving pictures, celebrity status and fortress-type hollywood existence which again, with all due compassion, is merely a cage.

i've heard it said that if u tell him to walk a straight line, he'll put on crooked shoes, so i say "Stay where you are Prince. It suits you."

royalshyness said:

exactly. but its better looking than that.

Box said:

what do u mean 'better looking'?

I recall several years ago that Prince did not like the word and going to stop using the word FAN to describe people who love him, his music, etc.

FAN equalled fanatics.

So Prince started using words like friends or FAM (family).

I think Prince has little time for fanatics.

Prince loves the people who love him.

So in a way we are his friends and family; not fans.

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

aw darlin no.. no no no.. we've all dreamt about it. every1 in the world has. gentle breezes and the silky flow of timelessness one day running into the next warm hugs and flowers so vibrant the most delicious food from the inside out tranquility and underground beats, the release of all tears and pain, bliss, like flying in ur dreams, hearing the wind whistle high above a mountain top, and every creature you see is a reflection of someone somewhere else in the world, a butterfly comes to visit and u can say hey you, and it aint no joke, the plants are lush and vibrant cuz ur seeing them from inside yourself, no one says anything to hurt any1 creativity peaks, there's no business dealings except the business of Love on a Permanent Basis, everything is crystallised and pure, all your senses are so vibrantly alive you tingle when you hear your own name you can see around corners cuz u got an internal navigation system and ur aura is larger than the city you live in mental telepathy is completely normal cuz it always has been.....the stars in the sky dont look so far away any more and if you look real close you can see them moving and playing with each other, some people call them ufo's, the smell of coffee in the morning or tea is better than sex and the feel of fabrics and skin and hair and how close up you can see everything one minute then take in a whole panorama the next black barked trees with lime green leaves glowing and if you go to a forest and look at the ferns the fronds come out to greet you with the presence of people, everything within and around you is completely and unassailably alive....and the more people that do it that go there that get there here now, wow. its so delicious mouth-watering exquisite and the one dimension where it really is true that all things were made for our pleasure as long as we never take more than we need and we love the earth and each other for ever after in Heaven.

bunch of masochists

RedKite said:

Prince reaches into us. He makes us do things we never thought possible really.


Which is why I often refer to FAMS as New Power Butt Puppets. Well, unless I'm thinking of the concept strictly in metaphor. :shrug;



I'm loving the different viewpoints and posts by the way folks.
Keep them coming. It's neat to see how each person approaches their Famaticism in different ways.

Can you prove it is true

No of course not. I lied on my resume, drivers license, and to get into the military. Nothing I say can be taken seriously.
