There is a whole new year coming up and I feel the people that are not satisfied with Prince and his music should just move on!. Most of you are stuck in the past anyway and are just waiting for Prince to go backwards like you obviously are and he just is never gonna do that!! So instead of hanging on around here and complaining you shoould just get off the motherfucking Prince train because as you can see it's Moving On!!
God! I hate these CRYBABY BITCHES!!

Ya know...I have 2 be honest about something also. One of my sons went out of his way 2 give me the book Prince's "Life&Times," 4 Christmas last night. I am a sensitive person in a unique way.
I never would have bought the book based on the cover. I think it's tacky. That is only my opinion...regardless of how it's jazzed up with fuzzy "Arrow" guitars.

Anyway I'm beating myself up last night and thinking, "How ungrateful," of me...I took Jesse aside and said...Jess, If u've got the receipt..U can take it back. He said..."Mom I don't have it."

So I have a confession 2 make....I cut out about 20 pictures and threw the book in the trash...I wouldn't even bring it into my house. And U know why? Because Prince is a new man 2 day...and 2 me...that's all old stuff. I was happy to keep some of the pictures...but I don't support every snap shot that can be thrown into a book out of literally thousands upon thousands that exist.

Prince's music satisfies me...and I love that Prince is who he is no matter how He got 2 today, or who he has loved along the way. I have parted with my own photographs and negatives in my life...and I didn't want them...I don't treat Prince's past any differently than I treat my own.

I can see a "Purple Rain," dedication book because of the intensity of the time...However...In my opinion...This..."life and Times," book, is old...very old.

So anyway...Consider this perspective....I've been around 30 years as a fan and an observer...Loving Prince through thick and thin...And I have the right, after learning exquisite taste...2 wish that garbage that relates 2 Prince...isn't on the shelf...

I's sorry Dayclear 2 turn Ur "CryBaby," thread into my opinion...and I'm not coming down on Prince unless Prince was the one that okay'd this stuff...

The main thing that bothers me is the title...Prince...Life and Times~ I think where on Earth did Jason Draber get a concept like this...what about...Prince...Up until now. The damn title acts like Prince is closed...It gets on my creative nerve...and if I had the power I'd destroy them all and start over with another concept...

Agreed 100%

AAAAALLLLL ABOARD!

Holy shit.... why don't you spit in you son's face also!

Are you kidding me??? That was a book from a fans point of view and at least you son was thoughtful enough to get you something he knew you were into.

Instead of thinking about yourself and how you now see prince as a new man and all and the past is past.... this was a present from your son. You should have been suprised and grateful and instead you cut the thing apart and throw it away.

Bet you son was happy!

Happy New Year
DayClear

Tame how could you do that? Of course he did'nt have the receipt,he probably did'nt think that you would be asking him to return it. I would be devastated if my Mom had ever did anything like that to me. Even if it wasn't something that she may have not cared for to much,she would have pretend she did for my sake,and you should have done the same! It's JUST A BOOK!,but obviously your son knows that you like Prince,and thought that he was getting you something really great. This makes me very sad.

Dayclear said:

yes, a new year,
and a time to move one in the direction life takes you,
and not go backwards.

very sound advice!
i like.

Dear Lord, please strike me down immediately if I should ever worship a talented musical performer to the point that I would respond to a gift from such a thoughtful child in such a perverse manner. Amen.

it's a wee bit immature to refer to people as crybaby bitches. And hate? What a strong word to use on someone you don't know, who have done nothing to you personally.

SANSKER7 said:

I was grateful that He gave it 2 me...and I did go back outside and take some more pictures out of the book before throwing it away and I made my own book out of it.

Hmm, everybody has their opinions.

EmeraldSkies said:

First of all Jesse is seventeen. Secondly...I don't like the cover. Third...I kept a lot of the pictures and put them as a mock idea into a blue velvet raindrop book that opens towards me. Fourth I don't have a picture of Prince and his x-wives in my house....because I don't want them. I love Prince and wish his x's the best...but I don't want their pictures in my face all of the time. I see enough here. I respect that if I were 2 marry Prince that I love a man that has loved these women...and I'm sure Prince would respect that I had been married...although I only kept a handful of pictures of my x and I. Jason Draber is not the same kind of fan that I am.

I love Prince and my tastes of what makes me comfortable are extrmely selective.

There are video's and all sorts of stuff that have Prince and other women...and I won't watch them either...Prince's memories do not have 2 be my photo album.

Tame...I am shocked and appalled and incredibly sad.
I cannot believe that you or anyone would be so abusive to their child.
You took a gift given with love, consideration and thoughtfulness and threw it in the trash??? How dare you??? How narrow of you not to see the beauty of that gift??? Have you thought of the damage you have done to your own childs psyche by discarding a gift of the heart??? I am not only stunned but sickened by your actions. You, my dear, need psychological help. This is way the hell overboard.
I don't care if your child is 6 yrs. old or 16 yrs. old or 66 yrs. old....you have emotional injured that child.... and on Christmas no less.... you are the reason Prince is weary of fanatics. You have gone way beyond fan. You have lost any and all credibility in my eyes. You scare me. You have no heart. You have no depth. I am so angry right now for your poor boy having a mother such as you.

It was just a freaking book. Couldn't you have thought that it was a culmination of what Prince is today??? The path he has led brought him to who he is now.
You should of cherished that book as a gift from the heart. Please apologize to your child and try to fix the damage you have done.

amen...

Tame said:

Wow, so basically you think more of Prince than how your son feels, that is some fucked up shit

Tame said:

You need help.
And I feel very sorry for your son .

I think this thread is the most disturbing thing I've ever read on here.

It is so funny to think that Tame actually thinks she has a chance with Prince, i mean c'mon, the dude has standards

Alej said:

i hope it doesn't get deleted. it says a lot about how disturbing some people are.

Dayclear said:

It seems there r 2 types of fans: Hardcore and Casual. Casual fans tend 2 berate and belittle this or that album and may have only select albums from Prince. Hardcore fans buy it all and love it all. There's room 4 both of them here. Some people live 2 complain and argue becuz they're not happy themselves.
