No, all of them have been openly critical of him, seems to be the case in love nowadays, Liking Prince is an acquired art

No, in fact it was sheer torture for him to be with me at the opening concert+ aftershow last year in London.The other two shows I went on my own and had the best time, and that's okay. The only Prince song he likes is WDC ...I must say, though, that he was impressed by P and the band's professionalism.

no. he can appreciate his music, but doesn't understand why i am so attracted to him.
there is no way he would go to a concert though.

Anyone who doesn't Prince's music, are the ones missing out IMO

I've always dated guys who either "kinda" liked Prince ("Yeah, Purple Rain was cool"), or downright hated him.

I've told this story B4, but I was engaged during the "Musicology" tour. My EX-fiance told me point-blank that it was a waste of money, he wasn't going, and neither should I.
I ended up going to 2 shows (one ticket was a gift). THEN they announced a show on my birthday in Philly. I was sooo excited, that I gave him an ultimatim: I wanted 2 go, and I wanted my FIANCE 2 come with me. THAT ASS made me buy both tix (on my birthday!), then when we picked up the tix at will-call, they were in the 2nd row on the side where the band entered/exited the stage and Prince played toward!
That fool stood there with his arms folded the entire night like he was bored. At one point Prince tried to hype the crowd- I'm still convinced it was directed @ him- 6'2" right in front! A friend of mine has a DVD of that show- I was sooo embarrassed when I saw him standing there like a stiff!

NOW... I'm seeing someone who might B a bigger fan than I am. We discuss and trade the music, talk about our experiences at shows (B4 we met), and just enjoy our mutual hobby.
He's on HQ, tho.

you cant have everything!

lol

only kidding, how could you consider marrying someone who has no musical taste in common with you?

surely music is all about the fun the sharing etc

my husband likes prince too which is great as we can have prince up super loud!!

although he wasnt too keen on doing more than two concerts last year - Id have gone to loads!!!

So far every guy I know has issues about Prince Every boyfriend has "tolerated" my silliness and they are all gone now. He's a good test of how cool any dude out there is. If a guy can't hang w/Prince absolutely no way will he be able to handle me.

It's just refreshing 2 share musical taste with someone. It's not just about Prince- we just mesh musically.

As for finding "The One", music's not the most important thing. I mean, the EX- & I didn't break up because of music (another thread! ). I just want someone who's not going 2 put me down for MY choices. He & his family were really into jazz. They acted like I was uncultured because I didn't know every Rachelle Ferrell song. They (his family) could NOT fathom how he could be attracted 2 someone who's more into rock than hip-hop.
He didn't even want my CDs added 2 the collection when I started moving in. THAT kind of stuff makes it hard.

I've had relationships where we met either talking about or listening to Prince, but those days are LONG gone.

My current gf isn't a fan. She doesn't dislike him, but she's just not into him which is great, because lately I haven't been either.

doesnt sound like love to me.

Im glad you have someone who appreciates you now and part of you is your musical tastes!

yeahh...and that was the first girl ever loved..actually..Prince was the one that brought us together believe it or not..sincerely the craziest 3years of my life with her..'m kinda glad its over..

The guy I'm seeing now is into Prince. He even has a Prince CD, Diamonds and Pearls. He's nowhere near the type of fan that I am but I'm cool with that. As long as he doesn't try to put me down because of that, then we're cool.

Trust me- it turned out 2 B really bad.
Music wasn't our issue.

purplecam said:

Only one?

chocolate1 said:

Yeah only one. He's gotta start somewhere right?

My x, (we're still friends) likes some of Prince's songs. And does throw a "Tell that, to Prince!" when we argue every now and then. Just to be obnoxious.

Mind you I've never overshadowed our relationship with "Prince this & Prince that"...type of behavior. It's that anyone who knows me, knows I love Prince's music.

My husband has his tattoo ! we both like Prince it's nice to see him playing his Cd's in the car, and going to concerts with me! But Prince's music has been with me from the beginning and me playing it all the time he sees what a awesome musician he is, and when I got my Prince tattoo he liked it and got the same on his arm! My bedroom is a Prince room a lot of his memorabilia up around the bed room, so I am glad he is cool with it. Any man would have to be to be with me! LOL

No, my wife isn't really into P that much. She tolerates my obsession though, because she loves me.

No. Nor did my previous gf.

I have everything. My husband is a big fan and is very patient with my constant talking about him. Prince is my Rock Star celebrity boyfriend and he is my Rock Star reality husband.

My Honey's down with Prince but he's not into music like I am. It' more of a respect and appreciation because of my enthusiac fandom. I can play anything from 1988 on and there are lot's of songs he's not familiar with.
His favorite Prince song is 'I Hate U'. He finds my deep knowledge of Prince fascinating and scary. So do I....

musicology was boring

i wouldn't say my x girlfriend loved him but she did like his music, hell we met on this very damn site lol ...but she wasn't in2 him like I was ..strange but true

L4OATheOriginal said:

What the HELL does your ridiculous comment have 2 do with what we were talking about?!

L4OATheOriginal said:

Don't be obtuse...
I didn't CARE about her...
I didn't like being told what I should listen to.

chocolate1 said:

it means that i can UNDERSTAND y he stood there with his arms folded cause that tour wasn't all that. if u had taken him 2 a sign o the times tour, lovesexy, act 1, the show at the palladium, the ona tour and he stood there still folding his arms, then by all means he needed his ass whooped ..but musicology was BORING

chocolate1 said:

no one is saying u had 2 listen 2 her, i'm just sharing the fact that she was there and she was phenomonal in her per4mance.

L4OATheOriginal said:

No, U always have 2 have the FINAL SAY on all things Prince...
Whatever someone says, U say the opposite or try 2 top their story.

U didn't KNOW him. He was an ASSHOLE. He would have acted that way at ANY Prince concert--- If he wasn't the one who suggested or was into to it 1st, it wasn't good enough for him!
It spilled over into other aspects of life as well....
