I ask this because he is very clean and in the past didn't want anybody touching him and then he would have to have everything at the concerts with PLASTIC WRAP. I think he is GERM CONSCIOUS for sure and also worries about AIDS and STDS. He asks women to get PAPERS"TESTS" and now he is most COMFORTABLE around fellow JEHOVAH WITNESSES. I think this is SMART ON HIS PART ACTUALLY.

Somehow, I doubt that he is to any measurable degree. I have mild ocd and although I live a normal life, it makes just about everything more difficult. If Prince had any major issues with germs, I don't thnik he could be as open to touring and throwing parties, ect.

I hadn't heard about the plastic wrap at concerts though. So who knows. I know there are people who know me well that don't know my ocd tendencies. Yet, here I am posting it for the world to see.

I do believe it is a good thing to use anti-bacterials here and there...although if U use strong chemicals on your countertops all of the time...U can reach an overdone point where a defensive strain of bacteria can breed.

There are some people that disagree with this...although my Microbiology teacher thoroughly explained how it can happen...I believe her. So the point is, if U go totally crazy...U defeat the purpose.

Please!!! Men that lay on floors and lick guitars are far from being afraid of germs, trust me.

My thoughts exactly
He prolly has a hand sanitizer everywhere he goes
but dude ain't no germaphobe.
He jus like things lookin clean, sharp and fresh I guess.

agreed

As a housewife who spends a lot of time washing and folding laundry, that photo of him sitting in his limo reading the Hawaii book in his flip flops with the snow white socks on, always comes to mind. Who has socks that white??!! Especially when they are wearing them with flip flops? LOL!

CLR said:

The socks were probably new.

Didn't you read that he would buy socks and wear them once and then throw them out? It was printed that he did that in I think England.

perhaps it comes and goes, or shows up in degrees. Makes me wonder if this is the real reason for his relationship to time.

My goodness are we now debating over his socks

No he is not a MICROPHOBE microphobes usually wear masks etc like jackson

"oh the tongue, that's right I want all your germs!"

Prince seems clean & cautious, but not like Howard Hughes.

I can't imagine someone that paranoid being comfortable as the focus in a closed room full of 15,000 people.

I have to say, when I play at a club I hate to use their mics. You get kind of intimate with them.

Lord only knows where George Clinton's lips have been!
