Oops. I thought you were responding to me. Marika would know more than I do. I am just a Prince fan.

I don't think I directly responded to you.

Anyway, what's the connection between Prince and Kathy? Why would he keep her around so long? Why is she still part of the "Prince camp?" No one has ever answered this question as to why a middle aged white woman has been in the Prince camp and causing trouble for the online community since 1995.

Kathy Adams sends this info to a prince.org member, who is Dr. Funkenberry. Hmmm... which org member is it?

I realized you didn't respond to me. I don't know what Kathy Adams does. I never got a letter from her. I also don't know why you would have a problem with a "middle aged white lady" being on Prince's payroll.

If DrFB is the Prince fan every one here insinuates he is, people ought to be ashamed of themselves for bullying, maligning, and harassing someone who done nothing but pass along reliable information for years. Why does everyone have a problem with who Prince chooses to work for him or relay the information he wants his fan base to have? I bet no one could tell most of you how to conduct your everyday business. Say Prince chose one of us to relay the news to his fans. Is this the kind of treatment we should expect from our fellow fans? Please Prince, don't ever pick me. I might be sending out some letters from my lawyers too if this is the treatment I would get. DrFB has shown amazing restraint and it seems to me the more you all fuck with him, the more Prince uses him to relay his messages.

I also think that people here are overreacting to a tongue in cheek post given to DrFB by the Prince camp to let us know that new music is on the way. I have to wonder though, if this isn't part of a bigger agenda to put DrFB out of business and to further cause strife among Prince fans by those who either have a vested interest or an ax to grind with Prince. A whole lot of energy is being spent on being just plain hateful. What is the return?

You know, I find myself less and less interested or excited about what Prince is up to. I think that combination of the disappointingly lame 21 Nights book and the equally lame Lotusflow3r.com debut has let the air out of the ballon. I still check the org, but I feel my excitement rapidly waning. Something about Prince's current "vibe" is just offputting to me because it it so synthetic. I hope things get a bit more organic by the time the music drops, but as it stands all this Hollywood stuff is lame.

Last week I saw the "People" magazine special issue that's out now about the '80s. They had a music section about the "monsters" of the decade. Prince only had a small inset section whereas MJ, Madonna, Bruce and Boy George all had big spreads. That ticked me off. Anyway, what I found telling about where Prince is now was that in reference to what Prince is doing today, they stated that his afterparty was the hottest place to be on Oscar night. WTF??

I think the problem is the "news he wants his fanbase to have" is poorly written, wrapped in a riddle, makes no sense, and speaks down to people like they're 10 years old or something. Worse yet, this news is often a lie, case in point this new "news" that a song has "leaked" when it has not. People don't like being spoken down to. Most Prince fans are over 70 years of age (j/k), and just want the music and some reliable, honest news. Prince has a huge disconnect between "his camp" and "his fans." That's always been the case since 1995 when he wanted "only one site... all other sites should cease." Simply put, he's a moron.

He's become the very digital divide he sang about

This is better than a movie. And with the Academy Awards taking place on Sunday, I wonder who in here would win for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress? This thread already won for Best Picture so no competition is necessary. What a fun thread this is!!!

Purplecam is eating more and now he has too as this mystery of "Where's the leaked song?" continues to unfold before our very eyes!

Here is the best part, as one of the contenders you're going to be in the running for the awards of girl blindly walking through the forest who gets attacked by monsters and you can't run right but just fall down over and over as you meet your doom

Of course you're not. You're that lady!

Don't confuse me with you girl

I can run! How do you think I capture your ass

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Whatever! I'm having too much fun on this thread!

I can't wait to hear the "light stepping funk" of "$"

With Q-Tip in the song and video, how good could it actually be? It's not like a real musician is in the song. I'm expecting something like "Undisputed", that disaster on the "Rave" album.

Puke!

A musician with the talent of Prince, in his 50's, should be making meaningful artistic contributions. Not some "light stepping funk" BS.

Imagine the Prince that laid down Dorothy Parker was able to see the shenanigans of Prince today. He'd have committed suicide

Ben needs to make a "Let's Bitch About Prince Today" forum... for all those who come to the Org out of 'habit' who have nothing better to do than ... well... bitch about Prince.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

He did, thus 0(+> was born!

well Imagine got wind of this, he would have killed himself too The early , not the one who sold out.

BigDaddyHQ said:

Hey BigDaddy, if I imagined what a "Dr Funkenberry" looked like, he'd look like you. (j/k)

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Amen to that!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

You know what... I like the early 0(+> years. I don't know what the hell happened between TGE and Emancipation, but it's never been the same since. Prince needs to surround himself with real musicians again and let them play a real role in the music, not just a "puppet" role. For having someone like Renato in the band (a real musician), you really don't hear his contributions the same way as you heard Dr. Fink. What happened to "The Family?"

JOYJOY said:

Yeah, except for too bad it's not true. C'mon Funkteer, you know where to get boots. I've been to at least one store with you.

I've always heard Ruth is more fan friendly. I'm never heard anything good about Kathy, but I've only heard nice things about Ruth -- from several different people.

BigDaddyHQ said:

Yeah cos "BigDaddyHQ" ( ) is so superior, bitching about people with valid opinions. Good view up there on your high horse? ...
