Have you ever written a fan letter 2 Prince?

Have you ever written a fan letter 2 Prince?

I remember writing Prince in 1983, and again in 1985...and on both occasions I recieved a postcard in return. The first one was a black card with Prince on stage reaching for a rose.
The second postcard was a little bigger with Prince on stage in white lace from the Purple Rain era.

Have u ever written Prince and if so, did u recieve a response?

No, but when I was with NPGMC I paid for some music downloads I did not receive and I wrote a letter to paisley park after they took the money off my credit card. They wrote me back and told me to try again,yeah right, and pay again! confused

In my life I've written three fan letters--One to Prince, two to Michael Jackson.

Neither one wrote back. sad

Nope. I'm not a fan letter sending person.
If I was famous, I'd appreciate them...but I'd be annoyed because it'd be a pain in the ass to read all of them.

Yes. I wrote a letter to Prince back in '81 or '82, after that incident when he opened for The Rolling Stones in Los Angeles. I was supposed to be going to that concert, but at the last minute I wasn't able to attend. Then the following day I read the reports about what had happened at that concert. I was so angry that the Rolling Stones audience didn't give Prince a chance to show them what he had, and I felt so horrible for Prince, that I wrote him to encourage him to keep doing his thing and that the Stones fans really blew a chance to see a good show. The whole letter was maybe a page and a half, and I never received a response.

I've never written to Prince, I'm very logical that way. However when I was in Minneapolis 7/7/07 at the Hard Rock cafe I did see a letter written by Prince to a handicapped fan and it was touching. He wrote in the letter that he never usually responds to fan letters but this was an exception. He has very nice handwriting. My opinion is he probably gets a ton of mail and his staff maybe sorts them for him. He is probably too busy to reply but may read a couple. :shrugs: I know from a source that he does not reply fan mail (he's scared you may show up at his door LOL!).
Also when I visited Paisley Park 7/7/07 after the concert. I noticed some packages (noticed a big framed picture of a blonde girl) in the grass but they were abandoned and rifled thru (probably by fans) and the storm was about to hit, so I am sure they were ruined as there was no one in the Park except for a few fans taking pictures of the building.

That was nice of u PDogz...Even if Prince didn't have the time to read fan mail...maybe his staff has, and if the letter was of encouragement, they either passed it on, or told Prince that a fan wrote a supportive letter...I am sure after that incident, Prince was happy to have someone stand up for him.

Thanks. That's what I always felt; that if he didn't actually read it, someone conveyed the message to him. That was good enough for me.

I had just seen Prince in concert about 2 years before that, on his first tour when he was opening for Rick James, and couldn't believe that he was treated like that at the Stones concert. It really pissed me off. In fact, the whole reason I was going to the Stones concert in the first place was to see Prince! I didn't even know who a Mick Jagger or a Keith Richards was at that time! (although I remember hearing "Satisfaction" since my infancy!!!)

Back in those days, somebody was always hurling "The F-Bomb" at Prince and putting him down. Of course none of THOSE people ever bothered to actually check Prince out. If they had, they would have had a different take on him. His look alone back then just scared some people to death! (The whole trench coat & panties thing.) Prince was amazing from Day-One, but in those early days he needed all the support he could get.

Can somebody remember the ONA tour in Ahoy Rotterdam..
Candy got on the mic a said something like.
I have got a message from Prince (afcourse this was al in dutch)
So we all looked like ok who wrote a letter or something to him that he doesnt like.
And then she (Candy) said something like we drive in jeeps now so get on the program?? eek uhm ok.

BTW this ONA thing was nice only Prince was on stage during the soundcheck and said something like look at old this bold guys they are all scalpers.
Again i was thinking uhm eek No prince this are your fans only a bit older and whit less hair lol

Greetings
Peace wink

I have written to Prince at least 3 times in my life. Although I left the letter open to whomever read it because it had information that the world needs. It was about salvatation. In each one at different times in my life I outlined scriptures from the gospel and prayed that whomever the reader was would be blessed. I didn't expect a return and don't remember if I put any return address on anything.

A while ago I found a birthday card that I bought for Prince YEARS ago. The front of the card said For You in really pretty script. I guess I thought it would be perfect for him but I never sent it. It's in a box with the rest of my Prince memorabilia.
