What a rant, 714! Do you feel better now? I was you, too! A Gemini, 13 etc,,,I don't think that Prince is boring at all. Heck, I am still discovering and enjoying new music from him.He was, and is, and will always be one of the greatist artists of all time.Personally, I am thankful to have an artist, any artist, who I can say that I am still listening to new material from, 20 some years later.
Count your blessings! Wake up!......Wake up! | |

I would really like to read some posts of your experiences, if you care to share. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

714 said: BORING!(now) NOBODY was a bigger fan then me! He defined my pubescent years (as he did for many); I was/am a gemini, 13 yr old, skinny little mulatto in 1977. I knew him (and still do) almost like knowing myself. I am the "ONLY" person in the whole world who worked on two of his tours (Controversy & Purple Rain) and was "not" employed by him. Watching/listening to him now is like watching Rocky 5; If (as a performer) you can't inspire young people its time to stop. Old people (my age and up) don't buy music, (okay maybe a little) young people do. You gotta speak to them!!!! And dude, you are not!!!!! You were musically innovative, cutting edge, a little angry (with the status of the world), inspiring. WTF happen? Old Age? Not an excuse.

exactly the expectations these yahoos put on Prince. To let them relive their pubescent years where they became "them" is rifuckingdiculous . [Edited 3/12/09 22:58pm] | |

Ain't it? Damn! I can't wait for Prince to blast these folks off in to his nebular somewhere. This time, I just hope he keeps them there! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

This goose-stepping for the Purple Overlord is reaching an epic swell as of late. Like you, I really hope P staffs a cozy chamber for these souls at the LotusFlow3r camp.

I'm in my early 40's and I love to buy music when I can...I wish I owned a record store, and if I did...I bet I'd listen to someone Prince's age before I listened to the younger crowds taste in music....
Music changes...Society changes...Yet good music stays good music... "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I can only say that I as an oldie buy more now than I ever did when I was "younger" and as for speaking to the young there were many many youngster at the O2 - my daughter included and many of her "young" friends are huge fans so not sure where you are getting your info from. The man knows what he is doing and he is doing it just fine thank you x | |

My God, is it me or is it whenever a new CD is about to hit, people come out of nowhere and just rant? This person never even posted before just to say all of that. Please. 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 | |

There was nothing cool about it being 92 degrees with 100% humidity and you can smell someone's head 3 blocks away. That made my stomach turn when I was a kid. 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 | |

The man knows what he is doing and he is doing it just fine thank you x I agree, they love the music from the 80's too A lot of youth are sophisticated enough to appreciate "Classic Rock" and 80's music, which by the way just about everything from music fashion movies(remaking 80's movies) are very popular The crowds go crazy over Girls & Boys, A Love Bizaree, the Glamorous Life, Take Me With U, Let's Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain and more Music to me is timeless and Prince has his own sound/style | |

To all who "THINK" I'm out of touch on the subject of my post; I WORK in a concert(20 yrs)venue and have seen "thousands" of bands in my life. I'm not sitting at home wearing a ruffled shirt from 1985 like some people. I "WANT" to be blown away by PRINCE again but it ain't happening. There was a time when you never heard anything like his music. Its was a rubiks cube when most people played with sliding block puzzles. It was unstoppable, like a tsunami, you didn't know who it was, you just moved to it. It was vital. Now, (like his appearance)its gonna be pretty, all the sequins hand sewn, each the exact distance from the next, not a hair out of place, sexy to the point of parody. Twenty years ago I said he'd be playing Vegas. I wanted to be wrong. Where do you go once you jump the shark? | |
