Actually, he and his music inspired and helped me to hold my ground and be myself. In my hometown, most people are country hicks and rednecks. If you dont fall in that catagory, you are made fun of and looked down on. But seeing how Prince broke the mold, defied the odds, & bucked the system really helped me to do the same.
"Tennie Shoes and caps, now thats phat, up until the day another wanna laugh behind your back. Say we all look the same. God bless america, home of the brave. Id rather dress 2 make a woman stare, Im putting on something that another wont dare. These are freezer burn compared 2 cool. And if i still got loot then whos the fool?"

I learned how to explore sounds I wasn't familiar with. If it wasn't for him I might have been listening to popsicle songs all my life!

I was somewhat of a bigot and racist before I got into P's music. My world opened up a lot more since those days.

Gets a 10/10 from me SPOOKYGAS

As an earlier poster said, I wouldn't say Prince or any artist has caused me to change anything in my life. But, I believe I have certain ways of thought and or tendencies and when these are echoed to me through music, it reinforces my original thoughts.

From Prince's music, those would be spiritual thoughts about how to treat people, and how love is the opposite of fear. Also, what things are shallow and what things aren't. I'm glad Prince and I have similar levels of thought. It makes me feel he's more human than just a superstar. I guess we all relate to what's good for us.

That's kinda how it worked 4 me 2.....
Prince didn't change me as much as gave me more conviction about who I am, most particularly as a teenager.
His music resonated more deeply, more consistantly, than any other artist.
That echo of thoughts and feelings gave me the added commitment 2 b true 2 myself.
The music re-inforced my spiritual hunger and taught me 2 never b ashamed by my faith in God and Jesus Christ.

found love. lost love.

yes


I absolutely HATE my friends, and they love me for that.

Saved my life - litteraly.

Most horrendous time at school from day 1 due to bullying and bearing which spilled over out of school hours with people going out in 'packs' to wait for me after my part-time job.

My crime - a false rumour that I was gay which started as a misheard jokey comment between me and an old friend on my first day... Nothing at all to do with homosexuality. Going to an all boys school this rumour spread like wildfire and, of course, whst better way for people to prove they weren't gay, than to beat up a 'gay' person.

Teachers dud absoloutely nothing because the main perpetrator were the schools rugby team and as they were more 'valuable' to the school than me, it went unpunished.

By 3rd year I was thinking of getting out...permenantly.

A guy started school, he loved Prince, we found we had it in common - became the bestvfriend I could ever wish for who stood by me no matter what and also got a few whacks through his association with me.

after hearing "animal kingdom" I stopped eating meat.
I also decided to stop wearing loose pants. lol!

i definately want to make my own music if i ever become a singer

spending habits, but that's about it, i think
