Comment of the Day: Retur...the Gemini

Monday, June 28, 2010 at 3:18PM

One reader, Khia213, was nice enough to share with me her personal brush with Prince in the comments thread on my BET Awards Godzilla post. It was such a fun read I thought I'd share it on the homepage. Save you the trouble of digging through the comments. Enjoy!

Comment after the jump.

The very short version. Best friend discovered she was in remission from cancer. Bought her tickets to a Prince foundation concert of less than 4000 people to celebrate. We wait outside the venue in the freezing cold for TWO HOURS cause homeboy was late. No explanation for said lateness. I'm standing directly in front of the stage with less than four feet between me and the Artist. Pissed off about the two hour wait and looking every bit of annoyed as hell. He looks at me and says, through the microphone, no less, "What's wrong with you?" I spit out "I ain't feeling you, son!" He blinked. Twice. And backed up. He kept singing, but the next thing I know, here come his bodyguards, Goliath and . There are mountains smaller than these guys. I think, 'bout to be put out this piece. They walk up on me and say "We hear you ain't feeling Prince." "Yeap, that would be me," I reply. They bust out laughing. "Well, he wants you to feel better" and they hand me his gold engraved guitar picks. Five minutes later, his road manager comes up to me and says "We hear you're not feeling our boy" and points backstage where all the roadies and the techs are standing. Yeap. He gives me the passes to the after party. We celebrated remission in fine fashion that night.

The moral of the story is: If you insult a Gemini man about some shortcoming , he will bust his ass to prove you wrong. Hence my ongoing love for the artist known as Prince.

Thank you for posting this. This story inspires me to continue speaking my mind when it comes to Prince's many shortcomings and the awful way he treats his fans. I'm gonna keep talking about how he screws us over until I receive my gold guitar picks.

Hey, it's the spelled-out moral of this obviously bullshit story you posted, so stop sending mixed messages. Clearly, you want people to keep criticizing Prince.

Okay, the story is true. All the more reason to keep insulting Prince. It is, after all, the moral of the story.

I've been insulting that Gemini man for 2...going on 3 years now. Any time he's ready to bust his ass to prove me wrong, he can go right ahead. lol

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

"I ain't feelin' you, son!" LOL! I LOVE that comment, right to his face. As Efan said, this is inspiration to continue to call homey on his SHIT (woulda never stopped, regardless)!! Which, unfortunately, is almost everything he's doing these days, but I digress.
