and not sycophantic fams?

im sure-most like me would much rather download an album or hell! even go to the shops to buy one than fiddle around with some cryptic bullshit website that would have had me in raptures when i was 16 but DAMN! im 35-all i want is the music

THE MUSIC!

CASE IN POINT-just told 2 friends to go check out his new music on his new website...

just got a text saying its all dark and shit and theres a crackly telly...

these friends are 40+ jazz muso's

damn -check out miles website or coltranes

thats how you do it

Nobody seems to realise it's just a small taster before the full site is up and running.

Judging by the some of the comments being made there isn't too many mature adults.

HA! I agree....It can get a little "silly" around here sometimes.

i dunno-most people i know treat prince as a serious important musician-but all this kiddy shit-

i dunno-for me a jam like jellyfish or another one like me is a major major artistic stepback

I don't know how long U been a Prince fan. But Prince has never done anything the normal way....SO GET OVER IT!

Dont think this website is solely meant for those adults who're hardcore fam to begin with. I think its more aimed at getting new (young) fans. We oldies will buy it anyway...
Besides that....the site aint fully live yet....

Perhaps if more of his fans acted like "grown ass adults," Prince would treat them as such.

It's his arrested development.

Speak for yourself. Prince is a Young Stud himself and doesn't want STUFFY. He wants FUN!!!!

25 years now....so that quite destroys that little point

Genesia said:

what a pathetic point! i like his music-i buy his music-tell me how does a pop star want me to act then??

jeez

I think Prince understands so much about evolution, his fans renovate every years out or in) it´s about technology, I´m 43 and I love PC world and I admire people who experience about it

He doesn't. I mean how many newbies are there really?

Start acting like an adult and be patient! Haven't you read what those that have seen the finalized site have said?

on the negative side - I have felt this way for a while ... i have kids damnit !~ cant just "spur of the moment " drop 300.00 for a show that is tomorrow night .... cant do it ... NOR will i waste hours of my day just for an "updated website " etc ...

on the positive side - since the internet came along ... and the "fan seating" thingy ... i have gotten much better seating .... usually !

Part of being a grown-up - I mean really being a grown-up - is knowing and accepting the fact that you are never going to change another person. Especially one who doesn't give a rusty what you think (like Prince).

Let Prince be who he is - and accept it. "Cryptic bullshit" and all. Anyone who's been a fan for 25 years, as you claim, knows how he operates - and knows he is unlikely to change. Deal with it.

I think Whistler is right...looking at the site ...and reading what has been reviewed i have to agree...he's trying to educate the young music fan who known nothing about P apart from Dirty Mind...and ...Purple Rain..

The rest of us by the cd

It doesn't mean lets your sense of mystery or excitement die



* heck stop having surprise parties, or other countless examples I can think of

jonylawson said:

I am pretty excited about the vibe of some of the new stuff. I guess we can be thankful that Prince is still around while so many other artists around him become redundant after an album or two.

Thats his point 25 years and u still dont know prince and how the guy likes to play with his Fans i for one lkes the suspence and shit im 36

I think it's ironic that he is going for the techological approach and then attacking technology and its users in the process.

DING DING DING DING

We have a winner!!!!!

jony, you have a great point. i understand Prince's ideas of making things beautiful and all but the cryptic elements are frustrating.
i mean, are expected to spend hours of our day on the website?
many of us just want the music.

keep it simple. having said all that i am looking forward to see what he has cooked up. maybe it will be worth it. i'm always open.

Look if there is one thing that I see that's missing with a lot of the "adults" in here is their sense of fun and humor with Prince nowadays, a lot of the things that many in here accuse Prince of losing himself. Why can't we just have fun with what we have and be excited about the new stuff that we know we are going to have? It's like we "have" to know the next steps and we "must" know his every move. If we knew all these things, it would become boring and knowing how a good portion of you guys operate, you'd bitch and moan like it was cool about what you'd know anyway. Patience must be used in this situation. It's the "adult" thing to do.

Well I know I shouldn't be a killjoy and I should embrace the thrill of my boyfriend just throwing me off a cliff because I've never flown on my own before!

jonylawson said:

The way Prince releases the music he has created is entirely his business.

You don't obtain a right to have dates scheduled to your satisfaction just becuase you have bought his records in the past.

It's as simple as that, if we like it or not...
