what do your family/friends think of prince??? are you the biggest fan in your family?
are you the only one?
do u go to concerts with other family members?
did you past on prince to your kids?
my dad my dad says he's a amazing rock star and brilliant guitar player. he's loved the song TRUST since batman was out. first thing on the phone today talking to him he asks SOOO DID HE PLAY 1999? trust?raspberry beret? little red corvette??? he actually cares to hear about how the show was and is interested in what i had to say. he loves bands such as bowie,the stones,beatles..he went to see pearl jam, u2 and guns n roses(but they didn't show up) with me
my mom on the other hand first thing says after the first show being u don't have a checking account i need all the $ you have left so i can write out your bills. so refused saying i need $ in case there is a aftershow and u can have it sunday and she smacks me upside the head. she's not like that so what the fuck was up with that??ok we scream and fight being typical jersey italians but never hit each other! i called her in2 the room to watch my video snippets and all she says is this is loud and the sound is all choppy! i'm getting a headache...a tourbook?? why would i wanna see pictures of him and look thru that????? ok so she doesn't like him but at least listen to me. it was my first time seeing him live and i adore prince and all she can muster is ??
have a few casual fan friends that know some of his songs and like them. they asked how it was and what he played but no one's a super die hard purple hippie like me... i don't wear a cross?!!? i wear a prince symbol I When Prince's cum dries, diamonds are formed. no one tops prince in concert! | |

Hi, I live in Ohio too (Cleveland suburbs). Where do you live?
Edited to say that I see in your profile that you live in Columbus (nice area). That's about 2 hours away from here. It's soooo hard to meet other Prince fans from the Cleveland area. I see tons of people at Prince concerts when he does a show here, but I don't know if many of them are on the org. They probably are; I just never thought to ask them.
A good friend of mine (who also lives in the Cleveland suburbs) and I have gone to Prince concerts. It's a lot of fun to have someone to hang out with who likes Prince. Most people I know either love him or hate him; there seems to be no inbetween. [Edited 12/20/10 23:50pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

i got a friend who was scared of him when she was little. how could you be scared of prince? he's so cute you just wanna pick him up and put him in your pocket. then again i got another friend scared of raisins.... but she likes prince
my mom thinks he looks like a little latin liberace..??? her words. she's one of those ppl who was just there. she wasn't popular or a freak. i was a freak. still am. i was born a freak. i was a strange as a toddler. prince is just unique with his style and outfits and very shy so i can relate to that cause i'm certainly unique and the black sheep of the family.
i tend to like and admire other ppl who live by the beat of their own drums and be themselves. who cares what others say and think!
i had a blast hanging out with other prince fans. they get "it" too... i don't wear a cross?!!? i wear a prince symbol I When Prince's cum dries, diamonds are formed. no one tops prince in concert! | |

LOl! I am the only Prince fan in my fam!!!
My eldest son tolerates him & likes some of his songs
My mother liked his songs
My musician uncle admires his guitar work
My father calls him Poonce (although he does like his cover of Crimson & Clover) LOL I didn't tell him it was Prince i just played it & he said it was done really well my reply was Yeah, not bad 4 a Poonce hey!!! My father is a massively massive Elvis fan 6 trips 2 Gracelands, & a collection that is 2 big! When he tells me that it will be all mine one day I ask him does it come with a 6 bedroom house 2 display!! Honestly!
Went 2 his Diamonds & Pearls concert 1992, missed his 2003 concert!!! MY BAD!!!! All on my own!!!!
So i'm on my own with my love of Prince! But i don't mind not sharing him!!! [Edited 12/21/10 2:28am] Prince once tried 2 change his name 2 a symbol so that ur'e mother couldn't find him in the phonebook!
Peace & Be Wild! | |

My family thinks he is gay and overly weird I think he's normal and just being himself >_> MY sister says she hasn't liked him since purple rain and what happened? I say O.o I wasn't even born during that time wth.. but in the end, they think he is weird and gay | |

I can't blame them, I thought exactly the same when I didn't know anything about him. Some of my friends are easing up on him though, one of them likes Let's Work and another friend likes Musicology. One day they'll learn about great music [Edited 12/21/10 3:50am] You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind? | |

First of all, I got to say that I'm the biggest Prince fan among my family and friends ; I even guess that I'm the biggest fan in my city
Once this summer I was on the party where there were people that I had never seen before. And all of my close friends know that I'm a huge Prince fan and they know that he's not gay, but there was one girl among us who said that SHE knew better ANTYHING about Prince and she KNEW that he was gay. I was like: girl, have u got any idea with who u are talking? pherahps u will never meet such a big P fan in your life and u tell me that u know anything better about him...? My God, what a stupid girl she was! Anyway, that's what all people think about Prince when they see him. They only need to get closer to me and they will know the truth :> | |

In '84, when I was 13, my mom beat me upside the head with a Prince book that I had, then she tore it up in front of me. Funny thing was, it was because I was cutting class and stealing. Prince was not even responsible for these behaviors! Then, she cried like a baby when Prince played 'Purple Rain' at the 1985 American Music Awards.
Yep, my mom's just a crazy old bitch. | |

My stepdad thinks he's gay My sister thinks he's a great singer but doesn't care so much about him My mom likes his music like with MJ. But likes MJ more My brother thinks he's alright I didn't care much about him before but now I'm under his hypnosis.... | |

Yep. I'm the only fan in my immediate family...I have the love for music
No. I've been to a concert with a former boyfriend in the eighties... that one.
No. My son is fourteen and prefers music from the '30's through the '50's which is fine. The difference is, I can and do appreciate music from other eras and refuse to limit myself. Jr. is stuck in a rut...He's my one and only, however, and I love him as he is. Maybe Santa will put some funk in his stocking this year. | |

Everyone thought I was a freak because I listen to MJ, now they think that I make freaks look like normal people.
I've always been the 'black sheep' of my family. My friends are trying to convert me to "good music" and their definiton of good music is Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. Yuck! So as you can see my family and friends HATE Prince! But is that going to make me stop being a Prince fan? Hell no!!!!! [Edited 12/21/10 16:39pm] "I never wanted to be your weekend lover..." | |

I am the only hardcore fan in my family....but my family is cool with Prince. They totally indulge me in my love for Prince and joke with me all the time with stuff like "when is Prince joining the family? or You ain't married him yet?" My Christmas and birthday gifts are always Prince related, especially the last couple of years. I'm anxiously awaiting a gift now my bro sent me that he says I will LOVE. My mom likes a few songs...D & P, Prince album, Kiss, and my sis likes a couple songs..Cream, Gett Off, Lolita. So they would all go to his show if he came close to where they live and tickets weren't so expensive, I'm the only one who would travel to see Prince. And non of my old friends are Prince fans, but all of my new ones are!!! And my family and friends all listen to me talk about him and will conversate with me about him all the time! Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol | |

I'm by far the biggest fan in the family, but I can't think of anyone in my family who doesn't have at least one Prince song they really like. Even my great uncle who will swear that Ray Charles is the only musical genius ever (how do you win that argument? lol) will poke fun at the androgyny but acknowledge his talent.
My older brothers didn't really share or pass it on to me, but they always made it clear 'that guy' was on a different level. They have a few of his albums, but mostly prefer his Time and pre-PR stuff.
Took my cousin to his first show during Musicology. He didn't deserve front row, but what can you do? lol

My friends & family thinks he's gay. Kinda hard 2 defend due 2 the way he use 2 dress & look back in the days. These days he's toned it down dramaticly. Black or white, straight or gay. I'm still a fan. My daughter was born 01-01-1999. IT MUST B A SIGN! 1999 is one of her favorite songs(For obvious reasons) thanks 2 me. YES! I turned my daughter n 2 a Prince fan. | |

I'm SO excited to "meet" another Ohioan on the org! Just yesterday I posted in the "Fan gatherings" forum asking who is from Ohio. There is only one response from a person just north of Dayton -- so now for sure there are 3 of us. I feel the same way you do -- there's always a ton of cool ppl who go to the Ohio P concerts, but it seems like they only come out when there is a concert. I would love to find more of us and maybe we can organize a happy hour somewhere between Cleveland / Columbus and all meet. | |

I am the biggest Prince fan in my family but my 68 year old mother likes him alot. She always liked him a little bit but all that changed when I took her and my father to 3121 to see him. She thought I was crazy for going to so many shows so I had to have her witness him in person. I got them the VIP package and they had the second table from the stage. They thought he was great, I know I have said this before but she even said he was better than Elvis. When I told her I was going to Vegas again the next month she said she wanted to go again. She didn't make it that time but I thought it was cool she wanted to go back. Maybe you should take your mother to a show purplemookiebut, that is a sure way to convert somebody.
Now I just have to get my brother to a show.
Most of my good friends are music lovers and they acknowledge his talents. | |
