What's the longest you've gone w/o listening to Prince

What's the longest stretch you've gone without listening to any Pricne music? Only days, hours, weeks months years? Since I first discovered the purple pusher of phunk, for me it's been at the most a few months, and then only a couple times. It tends to center me or juice me up, plays a big role in my life over the last 27 years. Can't belive it's been that many years. Strange.

I go thru phases...lots and lots of Prince music all the time


especially when there is anew album....

Then I pick my fav songs and try to feel the music and what he is trying to say


then I have to take a break and revisit them when I have a song that calls me

cool

I have mentioned this on another post. There was a period of my life, from 20-21 (2000-2001 into early 2002), when I had sort of abandoned most of the things that were part of my life up to that point. Prince music was one of the things that I moved away from. I did not go the whole two years without listening to Prince, but I bet I went through stretches of at least 3 or 4 months without listening to Prince.
In March of 02, my friend called me and asked if I wanted to go to the One Night Alone show in Cleveland. I went, and I haven't went a week without listening to Prince since.

WEll from the first time I heard prince I pretty much played him none stop for weeks then a massive 20 years or so before I got back into really listening to him and then every day for the past 3 years - except for 2 weeks before Christmas when my Grandmother died and then I just couldn't listen cos I knew I would cry but now I am back to listening for about 3 hours a day and loving every second of it. Never ever bore of listening to P.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I try to listen to something by him everyday. Even if it is something that he wrote for someone else. If I had to say the longest without listening to him would be about 2 days.
