it might make sense to follow someone more conventional then or are you just one of those who like bitching for no reason? im perplexed. its not like a 50 year old man is gonna change his ways any time soon. I'm sure he's scheming up some reeeeallly rich ways to piss off somebody as we speak. he probably gets a kick out of it.

lezama said:

if by "bitching for no reason" you mean "questioning shady stuff", then yes. conventionalism is more or less overrated and overserved since Bighead stepped on the scene.

AINT

fambots would be dragging out this excuse if Prince defficated, then smeared it on himself as a natural leotard.

Oh well, you know how he is, he always does things his way. What a maverick!

What an indictment on our country and culture. These are the same type of minded people that even gave Sarah Palin a chance in hell of being the next in line to run this cuntry.

heh. mavrick.


oh no you di'int. :runsaway: :takescover:

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I voted for Nader, sorry. I no more believe in conformity than I believe that bitching weekly for years about someone I don't know and have no influence over is a productive activity...

lezama said:

yet you'll put your energy behind someone who would lose to Sarah Palin! Puhgoddamnlease!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

is that a "moved to p & r" sign i see moving towards this thread?

BSK3478 said:

they're more rational than fams!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

OMG my political expression isnt influenced by herd mentality!! What were you just sayin about conformity?

Oh thats right, you're the one I had to introduce the concept of consistency to.

lezama said:

yet you'll vote for a loser time after time. If that's the consisitency you want to champion, go right ahead

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yet you'll vote for people who lie to you and don't give a shite about you or your welfare unless you're part of the oligarchy time after time. If thats the consistency you want to champion, keep on going for it!

Thats the difference between those who learn from experience and those who continually run into the same walls over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Being a part of the herd... ain't it fun!

lezama said:

and both of us are nowhere. go figure

lezama said:

Yeah, let's kiss Prince's ass til it bleeds

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

well... no argument with you there.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

not his ass, he's only the vehicle that produces the objects, the asses of which i kiss.

lezama said:

how is it being part of the herd if you are less than plussed with something prince does and you want to have a discussion about it on a discussion board dedicated to prince? either someone schools your ass and you're like "oh, prince isn't such a douche after all...THIS TIME," or else you post your opinion and other people are like, "hey...YEAH..that *is* messed up!" or any number of other responses in between.

why does everything always have to conclude with people existing on these polarized planes of fammy-fam asskisser and heartless hater? there are a kajillion things i love about prince, but he is often full of shit. people are complicated that way, and you know what they say - more money, more problems. this is an unofficial, independent fan site. that means people can be all fammy if they want, or people can criticize prince's every move if they want, or people can go somewhere in between and praise what they love and call out what they don't like.

having an opinion doesn't not mean one is following a herd. for someone to feel pressured into changing their opinion because someone else accuses them of being a "sheep" is kinda pressuring someone to change their behavior to follow your admonition, which sounds even herdier to me.

ummm i think u didn't understand what my comment was a response to. I was referencing the statement that I'm equivalent to a Palin voter because I question what one gets out of weekly bitch fests about everything Prince does. The label of being a conformer was addressed to me, because Super presupposed that if I'm questioning his tired weekly bitchfests its because I kiss Prince's ass (thus I'm a conformer). Well, the reality is one can question the reasonableness of Prince's actions just as much as the next orger, but that doesn't mean one must take what he does with his own life personally (such that one would hold a grudge) or act as if ones bitching would change something. So my interjection was not based on whether or not someone would be warranted to question and be angry at something he did or didn't do, its about the expediency of consistently doing it week after week. I'm not concerned about his or anyone else's heard mentality. But being called a conformist when I'm far from such, will illicit a response questioning the glass-house dweller casting stones about said conformity. .

This was an account that was used by the web site www.mplsound.com when "Here I Come" was put up late December last year.

It has been linked to SEVERAL times over the past few weeks so no overlooking.

Lacky? Some people can't win. Better than being tacky or saving face to be cool.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That was actually UMG (Universal Music Publishing) and Prince was pissed at Universal about that. So much so, he said when his publishing contract was up with them, he would leave.

Don't know if that happened but that was straight up lame n stupid over a 30 second clip of a song playing in the background. L A M E.

Maybe he saw how Michael Jackson became a mainstream staple again, how Madonna remains one and suddenly realised his own legacy is near forgotten....

Aw, who am I kidding, Prince is just low on cash.

jseven said:

But, that's ok with Supa, cos he constantly ignores the blatant facts and just blames Prince for it all anyway. It was pointed out earlier on in this thread (and many others have missed it - do you guys really not read the threads at all?!) that there is actually a general deal on behalf of all songwriters, not with Prince specifically and that Prince, as a member, can do NOTHING about.

Prince had nothing to do with the youtube baby scandal and now has nothing to do with the YouTube deal.....but let's call him a cunt anyway! (queue the usual aggressive, self-important diatribe from Supa.....)

Supa is a friend of mine (A very good one in fact, even if we don't talk all the time.) and is entitled to his opinion. I don't come here enough anymore to know weather he is in the minority or majority but I do know he is opinionated to say the least.

We may not agree on everything but it is his opinion. Unlike others who I held in high regard, he does not choose to slam me to look cool to his friends or peers. What he says may come off to you as rhetorical or a CD on repeat so to speak, but it stirs you all up it seems.

I may or may not not agree with everything that the person this site is about, but I do it in private. I am not going to be like girlfriends or ex-girlfirends who use message boards to get to that person. (ooh, let me copy what he just posted and send it to someone.)

So some can call me a lacky or worse, but I do my discussions in private. I am not here to please them. They do not need to know what it is done.

I have been a HUGE supporter of youtube from it's inception and did not like that Prince was on youtube. I did not like the stance that was taken. I could understand, but it does not mean I agree.

Supa has an open invitation to my house anytime for discussions on whatever. I am not here to change his mind and I am sure he is the same way.

Why is it our business if youtube wants to pay Prince some money? If ANY kind of deal was reached to get Prince videos up on youtube, it would be fine by me, and if these youtube dumbasses should be willing to pay Prince 1,000,000,000 $ for it, it surely ain't my business.

Other than that, the whole Prince vs. youtube thingy smells like this to me:

Finally,Prince came to his senses! YouTube is the most effective way for an artist to promote their work.It has become the new MTV.Everyone goes to Youtube,it's got to be one of the most popular site on the web.Prince was in danger of getting left behind.
