I did a thread like this on HQ but I wanted to know where my fellow orgers are with Prince today. It's been 30 years since Prince showed up to the music world with For You and he's still around 30 years later with Planet Earth from 2007. A lot has happen in those 30 years, especially in the last year. So after all that's taken place all these years, why do you you still call yourself a Prince fan? Is it the Man? His music, old and/or new? The live shows? The fans? Everything? Whatever it is, it's YOUR experience & no one can take that from you, so please share your thoughts with us.

I'm still a Prince fan 4 all the reasonz u've listed,purplecam.I 1st heard Dirty Mind thru my brother,who never hesitated 2 let me know that Prince was the greatest thing since sliced bread.I laughed at that,listened 4 myself,and he was right-Prince is THE man.1st off,he'z gorgeous-guyz and girlz must admit that-SO sexy and alwayz immaculate.His songz r not just wordz,they're deep.I don't just bob my head r do my sexy dance 2 Prince songz-his lyricz make u think-about everything from love 2 sexuality and so much more.I pity the people who've never seen this man at work.I've seen many concertz~everybody from RHCP 2 MJ,and none of these actz even come close 2 the kind of show that Prince putz on.He putz them all 2 shame! Another plus is that it'z real music by real musicianz-no fake stuff here! When u come away from a Prince show,u WILL b satisfied.4 this reason,I'd go anywhere I can afford 2 c him per4orm.If he did a show on the moon,I'd try 2 rent a spaceship 2 get there.He even has his own legion of celeb fanz,not only orgerz and quakerz.Over the yearz,the music and his attire have changed,but this change representz growth.He keepz me on the edge of my seat-wondering what 2 xpect next.Just when I thought he'd done all that there is 2 do,along comez the R&R Hall of Fame and the Superbowl! Never has there been so much hype surrounding the halftime per4mance,and I think AI had more viewerz the nite he was on since itz' inception.Being the class act that he is,he even thanked the viewerz 4 watching the halftime show.I adore his shy personality and appreciate his humor when he appearz on showz with the likez of Jay Leno r Bryant Gumbel.It'z touching 2 c him do 1 on 1's with Tavis Smiley r Oprah Winfrey.Casual fanz come and go,but real fanz r the 1's who know.A lot of folx claim 2 b fed up with Prince and his so called "antics" of late,but they break their necks getting 2 any show he popz up at,so as not 2 miss a moment.I could go on,but I don't want u guyz 2 think that I'm a fam. As Alicia Keyz so accurately said "There r many kingz,but there'z only 1 Prince" Great thread,purplecam!
