I know we normally get a lull in good conversation after a Prince music drought, but its only 9 months since the last album and six months since the last tour....

What has happened to the Prince Music and More section!?!?

Endless idolisation threads. Prince in green, prince in red, moving picture thread, do you want him to tour thread.....christ, no wonder he wants us shut down, its not exactly inspiring is it?

More worrying is, when someone discusses the music, half the people say "I've never heard of that one but look at the this picture of his butt".

Please come back NPGMC.....take them with U.....

Rant over....

In my defense, I've never said "look at his butt" when I haven't heard the song. I guess I belong in the Non-Prince music section then.

The good thing about the picture threads is if you're not a member and want to see the gallery, you can't, unless you sign up for membership. So, if you're just browsing and don't want to participate, you can easily see Prince and Co pix in the threads.

Hmmm... you forgot this type of thread... http://prince.org/msg/7/262974

Prince Ramen Noodles lol

Squirrel, I couldn't agree with you more.

I like a Prince pic thread as much as the next, but the fact I hadn't been posting much lately is simply because there's nothing inspiring here.

I admit that I tried, though. I started a thread on the album that got plenty of good responses, but one person can't do it alone. Things have improved slightly since that day, but things could be a lot better around here. Nothing truly inspired has come about and has given me the opportunity to post long and thoughtfully as I usually do.

I suppose one thing that could save these boards is if someone posted a thread on what Prince albums they should get. That really got the boards hopping when I first came here.

I already have all the ones I need, so that person can't be me

would have to be a newb.. cause most round' here have everything .. unless someone picks something specific to talk about.. in his music

As i have said a few times here, alot of waffle gets posted, but in general, when it is in good humour, why not. There are some fantastic orgers here, some of whom could easily write books about their experiences, whether they be old skool or newbies.

Just my

The fucked up part is that it didn't get this way until he wanted us to shut down! This place WAS a treasure trove of the Prince experience!

I guess this makes him happy. Go figure!

I think we've just hit an ugly lull.
PE has grown old, the last "tours" were each in one city for a long period of time, and his 2 sec. stint on the Oscars wasn't worth more than "Did ya see it ?"
THEN he had a party that we only got to see pix of stars walking into.



I agree with Whitnail, tho. If we are brought together because we all like Prince, then what's the harm in having some fun while we wait out the drought?

I think you ought to leave people alone and let them deal with things however they want to, as long as people aren't breaking any rules or stepping on anybody else's toes I don't see anything wrong. If Prince is not complaining and the Mods are not complaining, who are you? Skip over it if you don't like it, that's what intelligent folks do.

That is the fucked up part about it.

I'm quite proud of my moving picture thread.
Where's your creativity?
We're just trying to have fun.

I remember a thread very similar to this during the lull between 3121 and PE.
We've got a gig in Ireland happening soon, we can all get excited about this and naturally, the speculation of a new album will begin as well.
It may take a month or so before he starts teasing us with clues, we'll just have to sit back and wait and see.

How was it different? I'm relatively new, so I guess I'm just curious as to what I missed out on? Thanks

Speaking of, its been a few days since i looked at that sucker, is it still on the main page and has it reached a thousand views yet?...

I kind of look at coming online as a gathering around a musician we respect.

It isn't always gonna be a thrill hearing the same old things or even posting to similar threads...but it keeps the party goin' in it's own little way.

Prince is doing a major tease or punishment on his fans now.
The black screen at 3121 is daunting; it's almost like he
has flicked his fingernail at an unexpecting testical, bringing
forth cramps.

That's why there are some strange threads imo.

Dayclear said:

So why didn't you take your own advice and skip this one then? Afterall, thats what intelligent folks do!

You very much proved your own point.

I used to agree, but it doesn't show much respect with thread after thread of drool addicts. Thats what MJ fan sites are about. The org used to be different.
