in our lives. seriously, for all of his faults, he is such a uniquely driven and brilliant soul. and honestly, i don't even think he's halfway done.

for every graffiti bridge, there's a lotusflow3r. for every concert when he shamelessly closes with "purple rain," there's a concert where he plays "in a large room with no light" and knocks us all off of our asses.

and even the "bad" moments aren't too bad.

just trying to spread some love. the man has been through many changes (with a lot of bumps along the way), but DAMN if it isn't all worth the trip.

princey is the man

I couldn't agree with you more!!
Keep em coming Prince!!

i would like to request more 'graffiti bridge' please.

^^ Co-sign.

Oh, and there was only one concert where he played "In A Large Room With No Light".

I am so glad you started this thread and I know other fans feel the same way I do.

When we were singing "Nothing compares 2 U" in NY, I ended it with a I u sign and pointing to him... Yeah I think he knows it now if he didn't know it before. He just smiled and turned away. He is so cute.

I absolutely adore his music, listen to it everyday.



Thank-you Prince, I love you and no I still won't buy your Opus .

...He's part of the family...x

I just love it when someone keeps it simple and truly appreciates Prince. And yes in our lifetime we have will and are experiencing not only a legend but the best of the best of legends and I say all this after I gurgle with purp Koolaid and roam with the purple sheep so kick rocks bitches

Awww...sweet thread.

It's True. When Music is what makes the world come together peacefully...We are fortunatue to live parallel lives with Prince.

I can hoestly say...Prince has colored my world in every way.

I'm extremely thankful that I was on for the original ride

The original ride sucked compared to now imo.

I cant beleive I said that but I have my reasons.

You're just begging to get your ass whooped

Even the 90s when Prince became underground, again so glad I was on for the original ride!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Im not saying the early work was not great. But since the 90's he has been more accessible which is great considering the cold, cant get near, individual from the 80's.

He has also been more open in his ocnerts and his song playing.


It took all the before to get to the expressiveness of now Prince.

Plus...well nevermind about that just yet lol.

xlr8r said:

Well it is different being connected by the internet age but there is something in having that individual journey that really does it for me. Because we're used to the internet and the instant connectivity, it is easy to look back on the 80s as a cold experience but when it was just you and a new album (your collection), it was extremely intimate even without the bells and whistles of the modern era.

I agree- you Prince

Prince: Remember back in the day when we compared who's afro was the roundest? Thanks for then and now. Not too many people can be named Prince and live up to the name.

Prince is bigger than his name.

Yes, I feel lucky to live at the same time as Prince and get to experience his travel in and contribution to music.
