No...he doesn't.

Recent events have made me sit back and really think about some things and I've come to the sad realization that the only time Prince takes an interest in his fans, is when he wants something...ie...money, good reviews, more money, converts, still more money and instant protege` fans.

It's been what it's been and it is what it is.

Now he's all about protecting his image. Protecting it from who? The very people who made his image something worth protecting, in the first place. His fans. All his talent, skill and gifts would have meant absolutely nothing, without us...his fans...encouraging and supporting him. Since we do make up the majority of people that would have an interest in seeing his image, we're a threat to his financial well-being?

That's ridiculous but not as ridiculous as what I think the real reason behind all these shenanigans is, which is Prince simply trying to erase his past because of his current religious faith.

He's entitled to do that because that's his life. What he is NOT entitled to are OUR memories! He can forget his past all he wants to but he has NO RIGHT TO TRY AND MAKE US FORGET IT, TOO!

We lived it...just as much as he did! If he erases 20 years of his history, he effectively erases 20 years of my history!

In 40 years, I'll be 79 years old and Lord willing, in complete control of all my facilities, yet I'll be seemingly babbling about some lil' skinny motherfucker with a high voice that would jump off tri-level platforms, wearing nothing but Speedos and thigh high boots singing about getting some Head...people that have no clue as to what I'm talking about will be trying to lock me away somewhere because NOW Prince wants to try and pretend he never did any of that.

I thought I'd never, ever say this but Prince can my !

I'm going to hold on to my memories anyway that I can, whether he likes it or not!

I have a feeling that all that content will end up on Lotusflow3r soon. Which is a good thing. We won't have to go lookin all over the place for it. Take a chill pill y don't you?!? Life is good.

While I don't agree with his stance with online videos, there is no way in the world I think that he's doing this against you or me. You sound damn near paranoid talking like that. It's about business, strange but true, not cause he hates you or me.

Oh and stop lying when you say that you'd never thought you'd tell P that he can kiss your ass cause that's practically all you've been saying around here for the last couple of years.

... NOTHING...just saying when a door closes...a window opens...there is somewhere new to go..for prince-music...but it is a secret and there is a code u NEED to have to enter..
...i have the code..i just got it yesterday
...mzsexybaby'NEVER BEEN ONE TO HIDE MY FEELINGS.. BLOWS MY MIND...I STARE AT HIM ALL THE TIME'

So it seem like prince finally got to IMEEM.com...all his videos been removed.
Incase you didnt know, this was one website that you could find all the rare stuff, music, aftershows, concert footage, videos , loads of never b4 seen gems.. I had my filling.. now its gone...SAD! Why do us fans even bother...I know its his stuff and he is free to do what he wants, but at the end of the day its his loss, I know many fans who became fans via sites like these...anyway ,I wish one day prince would wake up and realize he has no fans left...ZERO!
He has nothing to gain by doing this shit..I mean its not like his site Lotusflow3r is providing fans anything worth the price..as far as I know Imeem was/ is free and had loads of great rare shit that kicked ass..I would pay them $77.
