I actually wrote to WB asking them to let Prince have the Masters of the Gold Experience!

The Shame!

The dumbness of my ass!

Have I written to anyone about, say, destruction of the rain forest or GM crops or something, no.

This rates surely as my peak of brainwashed FREAKDOM!?

Any want to share theirs?

Called up Radio Stations telling them it was my Birthday and requesting them to play Prince. By the way every wed was my birthday.

Respect to you x x

I paid $500 back in 1992(?) for a one-of-a-kind Controversy-themed leather jacket from the Glam Slam store in MPLS.

***In the mid-90s,Diana Dawkins of The Prince Family (a newsletter) started this campaign to get Warner Bros. to release 'The Gold Experience'.She requested that we all send letters to Warner Bros,demanding that they "liberate" the album.I must have sent at least a dozen letters.


***In 1989,I paid $200 for a vinyl copy of the (then-unreleased) 'Black Album'.And it wasn't even an authentic copy!!

A soundman once offered me and my girlfriend [way back] that
we could wait in the bus and get to meat Prince is I would
allow him to bang my girl.

I'm ashamed to say that I considered the offer just a few
seconds too long before declining.

Thinking back about it, makes me feel like a really small
fcking idiot.

Good question! I also did the letter writing thing to WB, called radio stations and requested a Prince song in honor of his birthday (omg), and faked an orgasm on live radio to win Prince tickets...somebody help me!

Personally I have not really done anything embarassing but a couple of my friends, Lee and Rosy, did last October in London.

They were in the queue for The Embassy club when Prince arrived in his limo. I had just gone into the club and they were at the front of the queue. As he walked passed and smiled at them Rosy was over excited and shouted out "Prince you're a star" - he laughed

The following night I was "down in the good seats with NPGMC" but my friends were in the balcony. During the acoustic set when it was quiet my friend Lee shouted out "I love you" and Prince stopped singing and replied "that voice was too deep, it's okay for you guys to love me but can you shout it out during the rock numbers" (or something along those lines)

Slept on pavement

Creeped in to Paisley Park on a Sat morning (when someone came out, we went in) and met his publicist, she gave me so many presents for coming all the way from NC.

when I was alone (once or twice) watching his videos or movies...need I say more!

I know, I know but WOW!

jaypotton said:

I heard that - me and all the people near me wet ourselves laughing! You know that Lee is on a boot somewhere out there..

Man, EVERY time I think of those concerts it gives me goose pimples!

This summer, my friend and I were visiting Minneapolis. Since we can't drive, we rode our bikes from Uptown Minneapolis to Downtown at 11:00 at night...Just so I could stop by First Avenue and take a picture. And her not being a Prince fan, and pluse it was crowded, I didn't get to sieze the moment! lol We had a hell of a time getting back, we got lost like 20 times! --It was worth it though

But the MOST wank thing I have done, I cannot say...I plead the 5th.

As far as crazy things I've done in connection with being a Prince fan, over the years I've bought all of his music, supported his efforts to be an independent artist, waited for hours outside of clubs trying to get into afterparties/aftershows, called radio stations and asked them to play Prince, written letters, sent birthday gifts to Prince, spent money on travel expenses to get to the Paisley Friday night parties, tried to get friends and co-workers to buy tickets to Prince shows, and spent ridiculous amounts of money putting a Prince collection together.

I am also one of the crazy "fams" who spent a week in a cheesy Chanhassen motel for the first "Prince celebration."

Note that all of that was in the past. I stopped buying Prince collectibles ages ago. I don't order from NPG retail anymore and haven't been to Paisley in at least 3 years.

Hung outside for 3 days to be number2 in line for the Parade concert. Was suppose to go to a PIL concert but threw the tickets away Afraid I would lose my 2nd place spot. Snuck inside Roseland while Prince was doing a Soundcheck back in 93 or 94. Followed him and his Limo to his Hotel. Waited at Nells whenever he was in Town. Ate at Restaurants cause he did. Bought a Mink Smoking jacket because somebody told me he did also. Paid $5oo a clip for concert tickets. Dyed my hair Purple. Lost my Virginity on his Birthday. Bought cars and Christened them THE PRINCE MOBILES and only used them to Drive to his Concerts. Sat in a Times Square Cinema with a Friend amongst Bums and Homeless in order to watch Graffiti Bridge back to back until 6am. Won a concert in Florida for Sign O The Times and had a neighbor drive me to Miami to pick up my prize. Went to a club in N.Y. called Private Eyes and requested the D.J. to play Prince. Went to every Hotel in N.Y. while he was in town looking for his Limo with Friends and asking the front desk if MR. NELSON checked in. Re-Arranged the Prince sections at Record stores. Kissed the Records. Left Lipstick Prints. Dressed in Polka Dots and See-through clothing all through the Lovesexy Period. Drank a whole Bottle of Champagne and speed 90 miles an hr in order to make his concert in Sunrise and catch a scalper for tickets. Funny years later and I'm still carrying a Torch for Him and Always will. Isn't he Just Great and Totally Worth It? Who Cares if People laugh at Me or think me a Fool? I certainly Don't. Cause it's Fun!!

Don't forget sweeping up trash!

You can't do that! Now make with the goods!

...wrote (very poor) Weird Al-style parodies for the bulk of 1999, PR, ATWIAD, and Parade, credited to a water elemental, Rinse, and his band, the Re-Dilution. Oh my.

Slept on the sidewalk for tickets...only to wake up in a puddle of my own sleep drool and realizing I lost my place in line hours ago!

Wrapped my head with a bandana 'Gett Off' style to go to the mall...(I was 16 and laughed at)...someone called me Aunt Jamima!

Spray painted my entire neighborhood alley/dad's storage room walls/sidwalks/bus stop signs with peace signs and the 'O+>' symbol...(got my ass whoopped by my dad!)

Marched up and down my ghetto neighborhood streets with 2 friends chanting "You're gonna have to fight your own damn war...cuz we dont wanna fight no more" and thought it was clever to blend Tears for Fears "Shout shout let it all out" in! I lost the little street cred I had...

Prayed for glow-in-the-dark drumsticks for my 10th birthday like Sheila E's...

Began my only heterosexual experience with a girl (at 12) by telling her "You play Apollonia, and I'll play Prince" and reinacted the whole 'Love' scene from Purple Rain...started singing "baby baby baby" (like "Beautiful Ones") and her mom walked in on us...

I think you have it won so far...that is too funny!

I ONCE CALLED HIS STUDIO AND SPOKE WITH HIS THEN MANAGER GILBERT DAVIDSON I BELIEVE HIS NAME WAS. I ACTED LIKE I WAS NEAL KARLIN FROM ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE AND ASKED HIS SECRETARY TO HOOK ME UP WITH GILBERT. I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD GET PRINCE TO PLAY IN OUR CITY (CENTRAL CALI). I TOLD HIM THAT I WASNT NEAL KARLIN AND THAT I WAS JUST A FAN. HE DID SAY HE WOULD SEE WHAT HE COULD DO AND SUGGESTED THAT NEXT TIME I CALL, NOT TO POSE AS SOMEONE ELSE. TOO FUNNY!
KLICK2ME

Well let's see what I've done...

I tried to get my hair to look like Wendy's in "purple rain"

Wrote "may you live to see the dawn"& other princely sayings in all my note books for school

Wore nothing but purple make-up

Me and my brother sat outside our house with some friends once and played "party up" & "uptown" as loud as we could without getting yelled at as a "protest" (we also sang the end "partyup" as loud as we could) What's weird is the kids in the neihborhood thought we were cool for doing that

Decorated my room and binder with nothing but Prince pictures (even the shower poster)

Used to call up a local radio station and harass them until they played something from the "1999" album (I actually told them that it would be "preaching the good word to the people")

Wrote to Warner Bros. and told them to "leave poor prince alone"

Those are some of the things I've done, the other ones are way too emabarassing
