I don't really find it that hard to swallow. I'm not really interested in going to Prince's house. Truthfully, looking back over the years, I think my enjoyment of his music has been damaged by finding out more and more about Prince the person. I think the mystique really works for him.

I remember the first day I got a copy of Dave Hill's Pop Life.

I was directing that at him. why would he need to bring something so irrelevant to this thread. As if my opinion on something Prince related doesn't matter or hold merit. I must say though I'll bet if either him or you registered on lotusflow3r.com and recieved an email that you were cordially invited to go to his house you
BOTH would jump on the opportunity. shit I'll bet even Bart and Supa would too but in Barts case they'd have to beef up security. Now back to that Trent guy topic. who is NIN?

PEJ said:

But I think this is a valid line of inquiry. It's highly unlikely that I would jump on an invitation like that. I am 100% not interested in Prince as a person. Especially after 1995. This isn't hate; I just know we have so little in common that being "close" to him sounds more like a serious bummer than any sort of sweepstakes prize.

I saw Prince live twice in the '90s and I think I'm pretty much over that as well. He can still crank out awesome shows. I've heard a lot of them from the '00s. But I don't know if I'm really all that interested in standing around for hours wondering if this show will make me angry or if it will be cool. Especially not if he was twenty feet away and able to see me standing there not dancing (which is what I do -- I don't dance).

The celebrity side of him is so completely boring to me. Jeffery Katz took awesome photos of him and I always liked the clothing and artwork associated with his old albums and tours, but again, these things are media products that I enjoy consuming on my own time. I don't need to wash my hands in his bathroom.

There was an Ice Cube song on the Kill At Will album that summed up my position on these things.

Jackin' for Beats? cmon say which song I love that album.

PEJ said:

'Get off My Dick and Tell Yo Bitch to Come Here'

I'd give Prince a firm handshake and then break, as Cube prescribes.

stanleylieber said:

But Prince ain't on your dick Stanley.

It's the moral of the story that I'm trying to apply to this situation. In the song, the Ice Cube fan brings his woman to meet Ice Cube and then pesters Ice Cube with all sorts of fannish requests.

What I'm saying is, I'm not trying to be on Prince's dick.

stanleylieber said:

I knew you'd say that. but what site is this?

let alone what forum is this

in a sense every single person on this thread is on Prince's dick, back on topic
[Edited 5/9/09 0:28am]

It's a forum where it is increasingly obvious people are unable to separate an appreciation for Prince's music from raw fascination with his ball sweat.

even Trent

Dude my tastefully reserved admiration of PRN is by far more measured and demure than your own!

BATTLE!!!

to each their own but really though which site have we both been posting on a daily basis let's just say for the past two months? NIN?

PEJ said:

2 + 2 != 5

for those who still dunno who trent is here's the only hit he ever had.

stanleylieber said:

Reznor is correct. If Prince has all thesegreat songs why hasn't he released even one in the last 10 years. I know many on the board will say he's put out many great songs but that's living in fantasyland. Prince used to write and release great songs - those days are over, folks.

LinnLM1 said:

So are you a member of NIN.com?

PEJ said:

Why would one have to be a member of a website to agree with an opinion? That's almost as ridiculous as saying the only way one can have an opinion is if they're musicians or have played 100 days at O2 or they're a purple assed bottom or whatever other ridiculous things have been said in here...

(okay, the "bottom" thing was funny...)

This thread is going to break the internet.
