So I was at the salon today and ... Raspberry Beret comes on the local radio station there. I tried to hide the obvious goose bumps hoping my hair dresser would not notice. But she did (she knows I love Prince )

What about you?

My bits get engorged and I become slightly dizzy.

Not really, because they usually just play Kiss.

I usually jizz in my pants. No .....for real though, I get goose bumps when I see him live.

Speaking of radio.....I heard Get On The Boat of all songs the other day while eating at a Korean restaurant here in Japan. I was like WTF?

No i dont,i hear him all the time. This may sound crazy but almost everytime i turn on SIRIUS radio i hear his songs. Ive even heard u got the look and most beautiful girl.

Prince still comes on the radio?

Not really goose bumps. But a smile comes on my face and i start singing along blah blah. Although I was pleasantly surprised when Starfish and Coffee came on in the store that i work in, but then again thats not really radio...

I've been hearing International Lover a lot on the radio lately. I would't say I get goose bumps, but my heart does beat a little faster when I hear him on the radio. It's a great pick me up.

I work in nursing in a private doctors office, and no matter if I am across the room or right by the radio, I can tell when he comes on by the first note or two. My breathe usually catches in my throat! And knowing my love of Prince, if I'm in a room, one of the other nurses will turn it up for me or let me know if I missed one. I have a favorite station, and one of the female DJs loves him and plays him all the time.

Nooo.

On the R&B hits and dusties stations here in Chicago, they play Prince all the time. They haven't played anything from Lotusflower, but they wore Future Baby Mama out. They play a variety of his hits - Kiss, I Wanna B Your Lover, International Lover, How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, Insatiable, Adore, Diamonds and Pearls, Erotic City, Pop Life and When Doves Cry are in constant rotation. They also mix in Call My Name from time to time among others. They don't really play Raspberry Beret though.

So, to answer the OP, I don't get goosebumps because I hear him all the time hear. However, I do always smile and sing along.

no goosebumps-just a smile

I dunno can't remember that far back!

Butterflies dancing in my belly !

Nope, because they usually play the same old played out hits.

I can't even remember when it was but I think the last time I heard Prince on the radio in Detroit, they were playing Kiss. So no goosebumps for me!

no, just makes me want to dance!

Wow. That's interesting, especially in Detroit. "Do Me Baby" literally just went off here. What format is the station that you listen to in Detroit? The current urban stations don't play Prince here, but as I said, the two adult urban stations (106.3 and 102.7 play him all the time).

As a small side question - are there any good online stations - through itunes or other - that are recommended for some good princely soul-funk and other gems?

I was surprised in my former job, where they had the same station on all the time, how many times a prince-song or prince related song would hit the air/day. Shows how extensive his legacy really is.

I get happy when I hear his old music on the radio but I wouldn't call it goose bumps. Now if it was new Prince music played on the radio, then I would get the goose bumps.

[color=violet]HELL YES!!!!!

MKAY QUICK STORY...

2day i went 2 a new highschool because i am transferring and my mother and i had 2 meet with the Dean or Principle and as soon as i walked in2 his office i heard "Let's Go Crazy"! He was Listning 2 Prince During our Meeting! i totally Freaked n got goose bumps everywhere!.[/color]

I don't get goose bumps but I do start to have flashbacks when one comes on from the 80s early 90s. Like what was I doing where was I etc etc

Not really goose bumps but i'm all like OMG I LOVE THIS SONG ..

No goose bumps, but I always seem like I'm in heaven when I hear him anytime or anywhere. The last thing I heard on the radio by Prince was "4ever". I was shocked. I know for sure I gasp when I hear him at random. I'm never really expecting him. He's almost "not-cool" to so many that I feel like I'm the only one who knows about him. Hahaha! While I know that's not true, I just never run into people "brave" enough to confess their appreciation for his artistry. They obviously picked Coke in the Pepsi challenge. SMH.

Peace, Hip Hop & Purple Rain.
