on a related note, someone asked me (in 1991) "have you heard that new prince song "do anything"?' I said "no...but that is NOT Prince..." (I had heard about it either from Contravacy mag or one of my pen pals) "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

I was wearing a Prince button and Walmart one day and a man noticed it and asked,
"Is that Prince? Or is his name still the symbol, did he change it?"
I spent the next 20 minutes enlightening him. My ice cream melted.
I could have died, it's been ten freaking years since he took his name back.
I've also had to explain the difference between who Prince Nelson is and Prince Jackson is.
Prince Nelson--Sexy superstar with a guitar strapped to his bouncy ass.
Prince Jackson--Very cute oldest son of the late Michael Jackson. Not that had to differentiate.
And then I actually FAINTED when I met a man who didn't know who Prince was. How the hell can you live and face yourself in the mirror and not know who the hell Prince is? I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me. Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots. Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol. Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol. Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch | |

I can't even deal with discussing the symbol with people. I just nod and walk away. If they're ignorant, me trying to explain it ain't gonna change their mind. | |

Eh, I don't know, with the whole name change Prince is just reaping what he has sown. I don't blame non fans for being confused about the whole thing. | |

Oh yeah, don't get me started on that one! I was once at a 'Trivia' night and the question came up:
Who did the original version of "Kiss"?
Everyone in my team said "Tom Jones" and I was like:
"No lads, listen here, I'm 100% sure on this... it's Prince!"
So with my team knowing I was a huge fan, they went with me, only for judge to proclaim the answer as... you guess it... Tom Jones!
I tried arguing with the judge, but he was like, "that's what's on my answer card, and the answer card is always right" (this is the days before mobile internet)
In the end, I had to concede just to stop from making a scene... But man, I was angry - not at the fact I lost a point unfairly, but the fact that no one else in the room on any team backed me up Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

Man, I WOULD HAVE MADE A SCENE: "That card is fuckin' wrong!!! where the fuck were you people in 1986, I wanna talk with my lawyer, where's MY money!!??? "A scene so epic & scary that some TV channel would have called me the following day to proudly proclaim that Prince wrote the original version of Kiss, and I want my money dammit! I mean, wtf!! | |

Oh! I forgot about one question that non fans ask me very often. It goes like this: -'Hey, what is Prince's real name?' I'm like... oO -'...Prince' -I don't mean his nickname but his REAL name!' I'm like -.- -It's Prince. Prince Rogers Nelson' 'Woow, is that his REAL name?' Then I'm like
Really, it's sometimes hard to speak with people about Prince

People who think 7 is an evil song. Are you LISTENING to the lyrics? Am I really the only person left in the world that LISTENS to lyrics?! Also, they don't know his alternate personalities. Join me under the waterfall

When people make that dumb face and go, "Ooh, I mean, 'The Artist Formerly Known As'..."
But really, it's Prince's own damn fault, so I can't get too mad.
But it's funny: I get even more pissed off when people screw it up and say, "Ooh, I mean, 'The Artist Formally Known As'..." | |

Maybe your friend was referring to that awful Meatloaf song that came out during that time, or maybe he or she knew about the "I´ll Do Anything" sessions and the song with the same name. I mean, if your friend used to read Controversy magazine, then he or she probably knew about that song. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs!
