i dunno. i've always hoped if something like that were to happen, i'd be able to acknowledge him with the common respect i'd have for anyone and not act all starstruck, but when you're a fan of someone for years and you've invested so much awe and admiration in someone's work for a long time, it would be hard not to fawn over him. i think part of it would be how he approaches his fans. what was that oprah quote they used on "30 rock" recently - "you teach people how you want them to treat you"? would prince treat fans more like, "come on now, just treat me like a regular human being" or would he be more like "damn STRAIGHT i'm a superstar icon pop idol, now get on that knee and kiss the ring, bitchez!"

i dunno. i'm awkward around celebrities anyway, even if i find myself around a famous person i'm not personally crazy about. how do you make casual conversation with someone you just met when you read about their sex life on dlisted the night before, you know? eww.

Prince shits and pisses like everyone else, he just uses more expensive (and earth friendly) toilet paper. I mean really....imagine Prince sitting on the pot, reading People or something while he pinches off last night's tofu. Not so godly now, is he?

Like a lot of you, I sat cringing through that Tavis interview...

This opinion is no worse than that of those, who present the existence of a god as fact.

Years of conditioning to believe in a god are not easily wiped away even when realising the truth that there is no evidence or reason to support one.

Centuries before Dawkins german philosophers already knew about the origins of faith. Read this, it's essential :

There's plenty. People chose to not see it, and that's fine. But just because someone doesn't believe in something, doesn't mean it suddenly doesn't exist. It's like not believing in divorce. It still happens, and it's still real.

You are just projecting your wishes on things you see, because you WANT to believe. But that's just wishful thinking and no evidence. Learn to accept that you just don't know shit about the true nature of the universe and our existence. We are too stupid to comprehend and even science isn't even close to describe what really surrounds us.

I'm smart enough to know there's a God.

Like a lot of you, I sat cringing through that Tavis interview, it was embarassing to see a grown man reduced to such fawning. But, while I was watching, I also thought, "what if I were at the local AM/PM and minding my own business, I look up and see Prince?" I don't think i'd act much different than Tavis. I've been a fan so long, been amazed so long. I know that we all have a tendency to think "who the hell does Prince think he is" but on the other hand, the man is, well...special.

Excuse me but the existence of God isn't the topic folks, this is...

mozfonky said:

I didn't cringe because Prince usually does well with Tavis. I did find the fawning to be rather odd since Tavis hasn't behaved that way with Prince in the past.

I actually have looked up and Prince was standing right beside me but I didn't trip out and I think he appreciated that. Myself and a couple of other orgers chatted with him briefly and that was it.

I have to admit that once he left I was like this...

Is Prince special? In some ways, yes but I could say the same about myself and many others.

With all respect, you are not.

There is no evidence. As long as people with faith acknowledge that they might be wrong, it's ok for me. But people who insist they know the truth are simply crazy in my eyes.

ludwig said:

No disrespect, but you have no clue what you're talking about. You don't know me, nor obviously if there is a God. I, however, do know.

You don't konow shit, just like me and anybody else. And science doesn't back anything up. But that was my last comment, you're obviously too deluded to see clear. I wish you happy times in lalaland.

Did the lights flicker when he was standing next to you?

Where did you just happen to be next to him?? Not the Am/PM, do tell.
