You know you're a Prince fan when...

You know you're a Prince fan when you're watching the news coverage of the Japan earthquakes, and only recognize the names of the cities because they were on bootlegs. e.g. Sendai and Nagoya.

That being said, God bless the people of Japan.

I think when you only know world cities because of Prince bootlegs, it doesn't mean you are a Prince fan, it means you had a US education and upbringing....

Everything you hear, you think "Has Prince done a song like this" or how would it sound if Prince recorded it.

You say "Pass the Crrreeeeeaaammmmm!!!!"

Everything you own is Purple

Your cityville city is called Paisley Park and you have the Dolphin Seafood Restaurant, I wanna be your lover bed and breakfast, Adore day spa and Sheila E's baggies for a handbag shop.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I thought I was the only one! lol I've done that so many times, I even do it with my handwriting.

You know you're a Prince fan when you're chilling out with friends, they're playing their music, you're all having a deep meaningful conversation .. but deep down, all you can think about is Prince tracks you feel like listening to & how much better his music is than the shit that's currently playing disbelief

You know you're a Prince fan when the only mistake you made in an English test was writing "prince" with a capital letter. It happened to me lol

You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind?

you exhaustively research, reserve, make menu selections, send out invites and book your wife's (she's only seen him in concert once) $2,500 birthday dinner at a restaurant for her 20 friends (they aren't fans at all) and invite your 2 die hard friends (we've seen him perform 10 times starting in 1984) to join.

It just so happened there was an all night Prince fan club video dance party downstairs that I didn't mention. I thought I wasn't too obvious and could get away with it except when we arrived the building was illuminated in a Batman type light signal, there were posters everywhere, doorman had a Prince t-shirt on, tons of people dressed in purple and only Prince music was playing downstairs that night. Hey we've been married 10 yrs and I love her deeply, but Prince has been a part of my life for 30 years!! She had a good laugh and mostly danced with her friends upstairs while I joined them periodically. The night ended with us slow dancing to Purple Rain downstairs!! Was I wrong

You spend an evening listening to his slow ballad stuff and that night, you have sexy dreams. The music seeps in deeper than you think.

lol Dude you are funny.

Well for me the one thing I tend to do all the fucking time..and I think I read that some people do that as well on previous threads is relate dates to Prince albums/Eras. It doesn't matter if I were watching an old movie or news story or something. First thing I think is "Oh 1986 in the Parade era, or 1988 in the Lovesexy era..before I focus on whatever it is I'm watching or reading lol

People think I hate Prince, but I actually don't.

I think he's an ass and all, but nobody is better musically, IMO.

Just to prove my loyalty, I used to jump on MJ message boards back when messageboard.com was still active, and post pictures of Prince speaking about how much I love MJ's pics. I remember once, I posted a thread about how I thought MJ's wife (Debra Rowe) wasn't all that ugly---the picture I posted on the thread was that of Prince and Mayte.... Lawd, they'd get pissed at me.

See? I support Prince.

falloff Lawd you's a brave soul venturing into those MJ forums *shudders* . This is about all I can take..I need my sanity.

I've seen a bunch of your posts and I dont get that you hate Prince at all lol His true fans can tell it like is while having a sense of humour and not taking everything so seriously. But erm that's just me.

It is possible to enjoy the music and the man without getting bloody hemmorroids about it. And if he pisses us off... lay into him like a woman scorned. It's a much healthier realationship nod lol

I too can think he can be a total ass and egomaniac but still scrumptious and adorable, and how sometimes he needs to stop talking in some interviews...unless he's whispering dirty things in my ear lol.. while thinking about listening to his music all day sometimes... all at the same time. He is special like that. nod
