Do you feel cheated? Well, I do!! Yeah, the fams and purple minions will argue that it's Prince's life and his rights...yada...yada...yada! To that I say...what the fuck ever!! I've been on this journey for the good, the bad and the yeah...that too! For 30 years!!

All the while thinking that if I continued to support a man who's career, by all definitions wasn't supposed to make it out of the '70's but did because of my support. So that someday we'd end up at his 30th anniversary of being in and having survived the business end of music, celebrating together in incredible harmony!

Yet, here we are, 30 years later and Prince couldn't care less!! WTF? Seriously? Prince doesn't give a rats ass about his 30th anniversary?

If you aren't feeling my pain, then I wasn't talking to you...I'm talking to the folks that have BEEN THERE for this whole experience! Let your voices be heard and your grievances be known! At this point...it's all we can do...

I really do not care that he won't like it...I don't like the fact that he's turned his back on the legacy that WE helped him build!!

Sure he'll go documented in the history books...but seriously...would he be...had it not been for folks, like me, who supported his ass through his darkest days? When the mainstream WOULDN'T touch him? I think NOT!!

What do you want him to do?

That's curious? what do you expect....I can tell u this...I adore Prince and would love to be his wife, like a million other girls...but Prince can't handle us all...and I'm sure wouldn't want to, shut up Prince, however....If Prince would have not been in my home through records, I would have gone insane. Even if he doesn't marry me. I am downright grateful for Prince's existence...even if we never kiss. I have come 2 terms with it. Although, I believe that Prince is missing me...he needs happiness, I have that to give. So if he doesn't want to be happy and he doesn't care that I go to my grave pouting, so be it...I'll marry a sexy angel on another plane...and he'll be sorry.

What did I expect? I expected him to at least appreciate the fact that he lasted this far! A feat there's is NO WAY he would have accomplished without the support of his die hard, truest blue of true fans!

As freaky, different, unusual and mysterious as we may be...he(Prince) would not have made it this far in his career WITHOUT US!

To get to a 30 year milestone and not even acknowledge those that helped you along the path to get there says all about Prince that needs to be said!

I just want to say first that I'm not trying to be insensitive to what you are saying here but in all honesty, being bitter with Prince and this situation is not going to change anything. Truth be told, it's hurting you more than it's hurting Prince. The best thing that I can tell you, is that, and this may be strange but hear me out on this, maybe you need to forgive him. You seem hurt by his actions and I see where you are coming from but you don't need to stay in this place. It does no one any good, including you. Forgive me if I'm coming off like I'm telling you what to do cause I don't mean to come out like that, but it sucks to see you like this or anyone else for that matter. Even though I don't know you, I know you are better than this. I hope that things will change with you in this situation, but if not then that's cool too.

That's just it...I'm not trying to hurt Prince. I'm just expressing what I feel! It's as simple as that! I'm not even trying to feel better because at this stage there isn't much he could do to make me feel better! However, being silent about what I feel, only makes me feel worse! So I'm going to express what I feel. For all the money I've invested over the years, I've earned at least that much! if you don't agree, then this post wasn't meant for you!

You do not need to come at me like that SBO. I'm not trying to stop you from being in your pity party. I just wanted to help, That's all.

This is Prince's 30th Anniversary in the music business!! If someone can explain to me how he would have made it this far WITHOUT his truest fans, I'll drop the whole thing and delete my account right away!

purplecam said:

I came at you from the truth! Nothing more, nothing less! If that's too much for you then kindly step out of this thread!

I just like having fun! I remember a time when Prince did too! If you do also, say something!! Sure this may not do a thing to change Prince's view but at those who will be studying his career many years in the future will know somebody spoke up for what he taught us !

Yeah? Well...ditto! Next!

Skip the dumb shit! We're supposed to be partying, right this minute and we're not! Why aren't we?

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Whatever. You don't have to be nasty about it. That's ridiculous. Grow up!

I hear your disappointment, frustration and hurt. It's a big let down and that must be feeling horrible inside, deep down. It's strange how someone we 'know' from afar can affect us so much. It really is okay for you to be feeling how you are.

Anji said:

Thanks Anj but seriously being a fan of Prince's music and watching his career highs and lows, didn't you ever think that when and if he made this long in the business that it would be cause for celebration?

If for no other reason just because he made it where so many others couldn't and didn't because they didn't a fan base like his to keep them going even when their music sucked. Being perfectly honest his 90's efforts would have killed his career dead had it not been for his true fans like you and I!

Yes, as a fan. I'm frustrated, disappointed and hurt because I always thought loyalty meant something. I guess I was wrong.

Shylock is alive n' kicking...What a shame...

Celeste7 said:

So is mediocrity but that's beside the point!

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Yep, u r right! That is completely irrelevant!
My point is that your "loyalty" does not = ownership. U paid your money n' got top class tunes in return. It's simple. U don't get no pound of flesh on top!!!
Prince doesn't 'owe' a single one of us anything! U got it already....all else is a bonus!!

Prince is a strange cat for sure...but, that's probably why he makes great music also.

You can't separate the two.

He has been touched by God and has given us much great music, squeezing out every ounce of talent. One thing you can't say is that he cheated his talent.

I am here for Prince always, because Prince was there for me.

30 years of tremendous amazing sounds hard to imagine what it would have been like if Prince's music wasn't the background Music of our lives, Thanks so much Prince

Man she's a lost cause. She's not trying to hear anything you say on this matter. In fact, there are a lot of lost causes on this site so I say fuck it. They can be as miserable as they wanna be but I dont have to be miserable with them and you reading this don't have to be miserable either. It's your choice.

SBO is right about one thing. It's been 30 years since Prince showed up and changed the world of music as we know it. Prince has been the soundtrack of my life and that's not going to change. And I don't know about you, but I'm going to celebrate. Whether P celebrates with me or not, is not my concern. And if celebrating makes me a "fam" then I don't give 2 shits and a fuck about it, you and what you think about it. I know who I am, what I am and what Prince's music is to me and I'm going to "Party Up" thank you very much!!!!! Now who's with me?

But ur still here,SexyBeautifulOne.So that sayz what??

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Hi,

I don't think I ever did wonder whether it would be a cause for celebration but it certainly has become one, at least for me. I feel like one of the luckiest people alive to have had P's incredible passion in music proving such an inspirational and fun soundtrack to my life and for that I will always be eternally grateful.
