I know right?! shyyyyyt!

shit up here doin splits on your way to get mail from the maillady.

i'd be ECSTATIC! or how ever the hell you spell it.

At my age, Prince was getting ready to release Lovesexy.

I'm working hard in my museum career and will finish my master's degree next semester. Not quite as sucessful as Prince, but I didn't get such an early start knowing what I wanted to do either!

Releasing C&D, I think...

Hmmm, well, I got 2 kids, and am married to the most amazing woman alive, so I think I got 3 on Prince!!!

For all those young'uns who aren't sure what they want to do with their life at around 19 - I'm twice that and still unsure!

I'm a theater director who started a theater group of avant-garde street theater for social change. I'm also an environmental activist and chair the board of my country's largest environmental volunteer org, And as of this year I'm a full-time teacher.

And what's Prince? Just a musician...

I am 44, I guess Prince was taking a nap in 2002 at the age of 44

Boring Prince year 2002,

I guess N.E.W.S. was released, but I am not sure. (?)

Must b a boring age, since you can't even remember what you're doing...

^ haha, funny, but I am busy beeing here on Prince.org - otherwise, none of your business what I am doing now. All I am gonna say in this forum: I enjoy life...

I'm 17 so i'm not sure what Prince did during this age, I guess he was trying to get a record deal

Currently I go to the last year in high school in Sweden and hope to start studying law next autumn.

Not so boring, or quiet on the Prince front.

N.E.W.S. was released in the second half of 2003.

when prince was my age he came out with the batman film soundtrack. and i'm a mother of one wonderful 5 year old boy, and a wife to an amazing husband of 6 years, i'm pretty happy.

Prince released "sign o' the times" and went touring.
at 29 i am at home with a 2 year old son during the day and in the night listening to prince.

ionno??? what was he doing 10 years ago???

See my reply a bit earlier.

Yes, this is a fun thread. I've often played this game in my mind.

Prince one month after his 43rd birthday: plays that strange, jazz-flavored (but wonderful from what I hear) gig in Montreal, abruptly cancels the rest of his A Celebration tour; NPGOnlineLtd. officially morphs into the NPG Music Club (boo! now we have to pay!); WB releases The Very Best of, and then Prince lays low while preparing to launch The Rainbow Children.
Me: happy and excited about becoming a father for the third time

I really dig your flow, man; keep up the good work... http://www.myspace.com/pbnmusic

at my age 18, he'd be fresh out of high school.

At my age, he released

and then changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol.

I, on the other hand, changed my name from something unpronounceable to Ymaginatif and released:


we're pretty much head to head

wow - you are really doing a fine homework Ernest.

here's a reply...

- 2002 was boring to me in that way I hate the jazzy ONA Live box set,
- ONA Piano is boring as well,
- thanks for reminding me about the 2003 release of NEWS, which is a crap album as well.

I am not into the jazzy ONA tour, I saw Ålborg (my hometown) and Copenhagen 2002
- these were good but still this jazzy tour is far from his best tour imo. I remember some reviews were luke warm in Denmark as well.

I saw the Vega aftershow in Copenhagen, this concert was brilliant.

When I wrote 2002 was a boring Prince year, I guess I meant that no "real" and strong rock-funk-pop Prince album was released that year.

I guess you like 2002 Ernest, the tour and those releases, cool...

but to me (this may be a shock to some), I rank the London tour in 2007 a lot higher than ONA.

Miss understood the thread, I'm 21 so I think Prince was recording his first album? Or he was playing with 94 East??? 1977?


Anyway,.. I'm still working and going to school...

I never said I liked it. But your response said, "I guess Prince was taking a nap in 2002", possibly indicating that he was inactive, and not putting any product out. I just went over the facts, and presented the truth. Actually, the only thing I enjoyed from that list was the "Days of Wild" single, but I still prefer the cursing one on Crystal Ball over the sanitized version from 2002. The tour was extensive, and he toured through more months than not. So he was busy. I didn't think 2002 was such a mystery because ....well, there was a lot going on that year. I've long said I didn't enjoy the box set (it was a lot of false advertisement), nor did I enjoy the racism on One Nite Alone. Even if it's just one song, it ruins the whole set for me. I even prefer the newer version of "U're Gonna See Me" from LotusFlow3r, than the one on One Nite Alone. And I was never a member of the NPG Music Club, none of the years.

At fifteen I bet P was finessing his talent with the likes of the guitar and song writing. Setting the rock solid foundation for years to come.

He Killed himself at my age.

In a sort of mystic crappy actually iffy sort of a way.

Prince está muerto

Since we are close to the same age...I am working my ass off in my old age! I decided I was going to give my notice and quit on New Years Eve. I make decent money, but I don't care. I need a vacation, a long vacation!

A good year, from my point of view - the release of Exodus and The Gold Experience, plus I got to see him a few times on his UK tour

As for me - currently working on my third album (so, er, a way to go yet!) and gearing up for lots of live dates next year

It's all the same somehow

at 25 prince was already done with the recording of 1999. well right now i'm busy studying for my degree in human resources management and working as an admin. assisstant.

At my age Prince had just released Chaos & Disorder. I've just completed the first term on a philosophy M.A., so pretty similar, really.
