Everybody has a right to their opinion but, attacking people because they are not on the same love parade is out of control on this board.

With the amount of crap that goes on with Prince, it is not odd for some of us to wonder why even the fanatics still act as if the man can do no wrong. I mean do you really think things are going to change?

b an A-hole!!

Being a Prince fan can be frustrating as hell, sometimes - we all know this. But credit where it's due... he *always* marches to the beat of his own drum. He's done it since day one and is still doing it today... isn't that one of the reasons why so many of us admire him?


I'm starting to wonder whether Prince's (apparent) withdrawal from the internet, and his lack of presence on sites like youtube, etc., is an attempt to go back to 'old school' values... where he was in control of his imagery and his mystique. Back in the 80's, Prince was such an otherworldly character; he was remote, fascinating and inaccessible, almost. How often did he give interviews? Hardly ever. For the longest period, a lot of fans didn't even know what his speaking voice was like! He let his music do the talking. These days, we know what celebrities had for breakfast, what underwear they're wearing... blah blah blah. I think Prince *does* want to control image rights, etc.; but maybe he wants a return to 'old star' values. The more we see of him, the more normal and familiar he becomes. And I don't think Prince ever wants to be seen as normal.


Back in the day, if you caught one of his tv appearances, you were lucky. Youtube didn't exist to flash it all over the world minutes later. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that site and find his lack of internet presence frustrating, sometimes - but maybe this is Prince's way of re-building that mystery. A 'you had to be there' sorta thing. It gives all his live appearances and tv spots a certain cachet, perhaps. The less we see of him, the more we'll want. And the more it leads to 'legendary' status.
