DON'T HATE,
CELEBRATE

squirrelgrease said:

Yep...he is as batshit crazy as he was in the '80s when you all were lapping up everything the man released...Prince is a weird dude...That goes in the no shit category...

So unless dude pulls out a gun and starts killing his fans, I don't see what the fuss is...

Prince should only speak when he knows what he is talking about.

But there was no internet back then for these redundantly Famtastic™ "Why Do People Hate Prince?" threads to flourish.

murph said:

Someone etch this is stone.

I think some pretty fair points have been made.I don't know how Prince manages to include some of these views as answers to very simple questions?!?! Does anyone else agree that he seems to be intent on preaching?

A side note, can anyone remember why Prince talked about genes and the Human genome? I remember hearing it (twice) and thinking, where did that come from?

You know NOTHING of anyone's personal life here.

You guys draw negativity to yourselves.

I agree.

Prince is a very intelligent man. He just has a few problems such as:


1. Lack of Cohesive thought
2. Lack of Fluidity
3. Absense of Fact Checking
4. Relying on Unreliable Sources
5. Yanking opinions out the crack of his ass
6. Jehovah's Witnesses brain washing him and calling it an education
7. Misguided views on how to make money these days in the music industry
8. A never ending love for Controversy
9. Thinking that glasses make you smarter and
10. Journalist/Talk Show hosts who never ask probing questions but just sit there and kiss his ass.

Other than that, Prince is one of the wisest men you will ever meet.

in fairness, wearing the glasses does make a lot of fans think he's smart.

(i like the glasses.)

it's really not about the decade, for me. i just think prince keeps aiming lower and lower, musically and intellectually. he actually sat there and said that he originally became successful in part because he didn't talk down to his audience.

can he really not see the irony?

stanleylieber said:

come on...off stage...he talked UP to his audience.

Some of you folks just crack me up...

DesireeNevermind said:

what I wonder is: why making any comment that doesn't kiss some buttocks is hating? Is it all or nothing being a Prince..ummm....fan (Do I have to go through the list of other crap like fams? Cause we are NOT his fam - ily..so that is dumb imo. No more than you are my fam, and I am your fam and...well you get the point)? Can we not see shades of gray? Love or hate. That is it huh? No like, dislike. Like some things, not others? So juvenile.

I am so glad *I* did not start this thread...

hahahahahahhahahahaaaa!!!!! i know thats right!! I am not or will not Bash prince for the life of me..because i have a certain amount of repect for him..for the man that he is..when these haatteerrzz reach the acomplishments and level of talent that Prince has, then u can talk..until then HATERZZ..hating is a sickness..<< feel better, feel good, FEEL WONDERFUL!! there is NOONE who can match his talent,,and only a handful (alive) that can give him constructive critisizm...soo instead of talking Sh@t, get a life.!!!
I wonder when there will actually be a place where REAL PRINCE FANS can enjoy and celebrate his music without the negativity...**Sigh**

I have a theory, it may be completely silly

but I think that Prince fans love Prince so much

that they want to be a part of his life, and offer advice

or support, in a way that they can live vicariously

thu him, but when prince goes in a different direction

than some fans disprove and claim that he's lost it or

is not caring about them. I think some ppl make it

impossible for Prince to do right.


for me tho

I am sad cause I can't get close enough to him

squirrelgrease said:

Ha!...very true...As there was no Internet for fans who obviously have no use for Prince anymore to keep coming back to a Prince fan website like a battered wife...

Right on...great point!...

lol

I find most people try to back up their argument by utilizing extremes....And it works on both sides..

Just as there are the crazies on this board that label ANYONE who doesn't kiss his purple feet 24-7 as HATERS (such a lazy term), there are the folks who dismiss ANYONE as FAMS who has the common sense to call out people who obsessively come on this board to point out Prince is washed up...

There's a huge difference between saying Lotusflower sucks (hey, that's a personal opinion I can respect) VS saying Prince hasn't made a good record in 20 years....

For the normal fans like myself, I like to call out the bullshit both ways...lol

Darlin', people that are on "that level" you attain to be on, NEVER have to SAY or DECLARE or PROVE it. People just KNOW. I don't see anyone up there around here. Welcome to earth, enjoy it. You'll be here for a long time.

Didn't you just pay $77.00 so that you and the other REAL PRINCE FANS could sit wait for Prince to pick y'all up in his discojellyfish spaceship and blast y'all off to his galactic netherworld?

if he is an idiot, why would that piss you off...

murph said:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's known about this since ummm 1984. I wasn't even in Kindergarten yet and I knew Prince had some loose screws in his head, so 25 years later, I'm not shocked one bit about his weirdness today. Hell if I still expect anything with Prince, I expect him to still be a weirdo. The moment Prince isn't weird is when you know something is wrong.

purplecam said:

Prince can be eccentric strange and weird without attacking his fans.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Did Prince attack the fans in that interview with Tavis last week?
