There are a ton of people who think he still uses the symbol.

Hey Pepper, I can relate a bit. I dragged every x-boyfriend I could find including one I wish I'd left home. I did that because I didn't have anyone to go with and I wanted to get dressed up and not look like I was a ho or groupie or something. I was glad when I found out Prince was married but then I didn't want to disrespect his wife by going alone...lol. No one wanted to go with me. They just didn't care for Prince. I even changed up my hair to look different because I was going to so many concerts lol. I've only been brave enough to go to maybe three concerts alone and I walked out early on two because I felt so weird and didn't know anyone. There is a section in here to catch up with people about get togethers and stuff. Hang in there. I'm in the same boat. But I'm sure there are people on here that would love to meet up and hit a show....cheer up. You are not alone. I have a decent sized "3121" sticker on my car and I must have had it on there a year maybe more and only ONE person ever came up to me and talked to me about Prince.....In L.A.... amazing...Things are changing a lot. When I first came here I felt out of it... still do a lot but most everyone is very very nice and just know you are surrounded by friends here... the longer you hang out here the better you get to know not only Prince but his hip cool friends and you are one of them. It takes a certain kind of person to relate to Prince. Consider yourself gifted in a way to be able to appreciate what so many are missing out on.....hugs!!!!

Definitely a Prince singleton.

I never talk about Prince because I'm really not into all the stupid comments.

People who haven't seen me for 20 years ask me for fun "and still a Prince fan?" and when I say yes, they go

Everybody I know thinks he's disgusting and creepy, do they have different eyes?

My boss always makes fun whenever someone mentions Prince, he's like, "she's a Prince fan, she likes dudes that look like girls with lots of make-up" I'm like

The org is a very nice place to be, I was such a loner in my younger years.

Oh God yeah, I get that too. It's just like, why wouldn't I be? Do they go up to other people and say "Still a Beatles fan?" and recoil if they get a positive answer? My music taste has grown and developed since childhood, sure, but I still love all the stuff I liked back then too. It's not like asking if you're still a New Kids On The Block fan or anything.

....What I mean is are you surrounded by like minded Prince fans or do you find it hard to fit in because of your compulsion to talk about Prince?

I don't know many people who like Prince as much as I do. Which is a problem for me.

No-one to go to gigs with, no-one to talk about whether I prefer Sign Of the Times or Purple Rain.

I have no-one to discuss whether his old stuff was better than his new stuff, etc, etc..

What are other peoples thought?



Answers purlease!

I can, if needed, bring friends or my better half to the Prince shows - but you know what, sometimes I would rather go by myself alone! Don't need others to bring me down with them because they got tired in their legs, ears hurt, early next morning appointments or whatever... Then I prefer to go myself and have the full experience and even better, meet other fans who can seize the party at that very moment.
