My thread on this topic got derailed and ended up missing, so if some of you don't like this topic hit the back button and quit the rants.

Some of you orgers had excellent ideas, here are some:
1. Wear your Prince Tees.
2. Take your favorite Prince CD to the club and ask the DJ to play some songs.
3. Ask / write to your fave radio station to play Prince music.
4. Change the way Prince is marketed in your local store.. bring his CDs to the front or at the bookend shelves so that they are more visible...

What else?

KILL THE YOUNG?

wear a sandwich board to work/on the tube, paste a poster on your front door, dress the dog like prince, sign write the car. actually i once saw prince related grafitti on approach into victoria london. true

Prince is his own PR machine. It's not our duty to pick up the slack. I mean come on Tame.....wear tshirts? A DJ would laugh his ass off if someone asked to play "Now" at a club.

And no one in retail appreciates some brat trying to rearrange things. If people don't like Prince, they are just going to look past it anyway.

How can we as fans promote Prince the musician? One person at a time. If you do end up in a discussion, don't lose your cool. I get into discussions about Prince music with people that don't know anything by Prince. I just tell the story of Prince, the musician. Also, my sister plays Prince for her kids all of the time and they dig him. The oldest one in J.H. is going through that phase where he won't outwardly brag about liking Prince but he still plays him. The cutest thing was this past month I was at my sisters and we were watching Prince play "While my guitar gently weeps" at the Hall of Fame. Anyway, her two year old stands up on his little chair playing his fake guitar along with Prince. He was doing all of the Prince faces and mannerisms...It was funny and cool as heck to see this baby copying Prince!!

didn't we just have this exact same thread like a week ago?

cborgman said:

Yes, we did. It was removed.

pplrain said:

don't do that. it's one thing to think you have to promote prince somehow. it's another to go into a store and make someone's job harder because you have a scary famdom of prince.

PurpleJane said:

yes, do that.

tattooing "I prince" across your forehead would probably move a few copies of newpowersoul

cborgman said:

Or just tatoo New Power on the bottom of your feet

maybe you should go to parks with a large boombox and perform interpretive dances to the rainbow children album. that's sure to get people interested in prince.

Mime the Darth Vader

fuck that, just put on a vader helmet and walk slowly towards the inevitible crowd.

oooh! ooh!

set up a banquet for people, then play "wedding feast" on a loop. tell people you're going to marry prince, this is the wedding feast, and he should be there any minute.

people love that song.

buy several hundred copies of the rainbow children, and then build a float. come june, enter the float into your local gay pride parade, and toss the crowd the CDs. given that the album is called "rainbow children", the rainbow kids will love it.

buy a red corvette and raffle it off to one lucky person who buys a copy of the 1999 album

build a giant purple flower on wheels, attach it to the back of your car and sit naked on it while someone drives the car around your local city, playing lovesexy songs on the cd player.

if anyone asks what song that is, tell them they have to listen to the entire album to find out, as it's all one long track.

Put on a Purple do rag and scream Pussy Control for sale!
