Thanks Prince, for giving me some awesome music in this life of yours.

Sad I celebrate his birthday more than he does, by just posting this he know he is staying up tonight to wish himself a happy birthday in the mirror. Might even make a song for himself Love ya Prince, happy birthday!!

My original message from 8:12am this morning was lost in cyberspace ...so here goes again...Love him...Love him. That moan...that cry...that scream that is so, so, so Prince. I grew up withhim through his music. I was told liking Prince was a quirk in my personality which I fully embrace and celebrate!!! He is amazing...no one like him or ever will be, he is to creative...From my curiosity with For You to 2010 and everything in between Prince has marked important points in my life and has enhanced it. From the social conscious Pop Life, the many moods of Pink Cashmere/Ballard of Dorothy Parker/Girl 6, from the smooth cool of Joy In Repetition/Graffiti Bridge, the funk of, expressing the essence of falling in love with Damn U/TGLTES, overwhelming the senses of Purple Rain/17 Days, the thrill of Billboards with The Joffery (sp)Ballet, the countless collaborations that continue to bring out different aspects of his personality, his younger days expressions of sensuality that made me less afraid to embrace my own (he truly bought sexy back and kept in back), the funk of Black Sweat/Computer Blue/Thieves In The Temple, the spiritual face of Anna Stesia, the sexy fun of Boys and Girls,or whether he is exploring self perception like in When Doves Cry/Controversy or the unbelievable contagious spontaneous explosion of Kiss during my engagement, the leg crossing and turning of IF U Were My Girlfriend/Adore/The Question of U/The One/Call My Name/Erotic City/Scandalous and too many other sexy ballets to name, the loving seduction and loving salute to relationships/marriage/dating/celebrating pending childbirth was a celebration of martial bless, like my husband and I , shared and that Emancipation captures, the smooth jazz/fusion/pop appeal of One Nite Alone/News, the eclectic joy of 3121, ...and the songs of comfort that Sometimes It Snows In April/No One Compares to U/Purple Rainwhen my husband died... to my return to smiling,laughing and embracing life again during his and my Musicology Tour...And I finally came to peace with my Husband's death at the February 7th New York concert ...I so thank God and I thank Prince for his contribution to healing so many of the things that was concerning me...the Power of God and music...I will 4ever B grateful....one of the many reasons why I love Prince. I praise God for Prince's gifts, talents, skills and energies that makes him one of the most exciting and talented artists ever. Totally unique, unable to be peg into any one genre or any type of music and the best at giving a live concert-->an outstanding experience Bith then and now. I truly value, appreciate and embrace his eclectic style, funk, humor, musical, lyric arrangements, instrumental savvy, dancing and his unstopable and creative spirit no matter what.obstacle he faced, his belief in his self enough to be one of the first if not the first to sell his own music indigently on the Internet, his diligence about controlling, protecting and presenting his own music and image,going platinum on the Internet and the his ability to change his attitude concerning the Internet..love his unpredictable and his truly out of the box approach to life. For all the concerts I have attended, the diverse musically direction and all the points of my life that was improved because he is...I thank him... I pray for him continual spiritual enlightenment, a wonderful relationship with God, peace, peace with himself, wonderful and honest supporting friends, contentment, flexibility, making good thought through choices, trusting his own decisions, love, a loving sustained relationship and much joy to come.... I forgot great dance music and did I forget to mention he still fine!?! ..improving all the time ..... U Rock Prince...and Thank U 4 being U

Gregory Weinkauf

Today, the seventh of June, is the birthday of Prince Rogers Nelson. The year is irrelevant: If you've ever seen Prince and his amazing band play live -- as thousands of lucky participants and I just did during his sensational Los Angeles "21-Nite Stand" -- you know that time stands still and an ageless, dreamlike quality engulfs y'all. My first rock concert was Van Halen (in the sixth grade -- me, not them), and I've been present for the likes of everything from Dead Can Dance to Donovan, Loreena McKennitt to Paul McCartney, James Brown to Pavarotti -- but nobody, really, nobody puts on a show like Prince. He cavorts like a little kid, jokes like an old soul, dances like a gazelle, bellows like a bitch in heat, and dons more fancy costumes than a cadre of superheroes. I'm gonna call it: Prince is the consummate entertainer. He is a national treasure. They should clone him and put the clone in the Smithsonian.

Greatest. Concert. Ever.

I grew up with Prince. Well, not literally -- but I was gazing at a fat Zenith with wooden legs when he mimed "I Wanna Be Your Lover" on American Bandstand in 1980, then peculiarly told Dick Clark he played "a thousand" instruments. Clark wasn't buying. But a few albums later, in 1982, I was buying: the straight white AP student so embarrassed about picking up Prince's 1999 on cassette for his sister at Musicland (hey, people knew me there!) that I actually put on a "disguise" consisting of a stupid hat and glasses. I wasn't ready. But then Prince went away for a year, and in 1984 came back with a full-band sound and Purple Rain -- the classic, genre-scrambling album the whole world still rightfully reveres. He's made terrific music almost non-stop since then (I enjoyed tormenting my dour Pink Floyd-head college roomie with "Housequake," and recently I've been revisiting Musicology), and -- setlists available elsewhere -- you name the hit, he played the living hell out of it during his recent run.

Oh no, he didn't!

But what is Prince? Personal anecdotes and hearsay aside, I can tell you that his appeal spans generations, and the ladies looove him -- probably because he gets up there and does all the things they wish they could get away with. (One look at their seated, sullen boyfriends tells you plenty.) Prince is also a lot like Bono (except Prince's weird moniker is his real name) in that he very clearly aspires to be the portal through which all pop music emanates -- the primary differences being that: a.) Apart from some of his lyrics, Prince isn't prone to any idiotic messiah complex and b.) Bono's guitar skills are to Prince's what George W. Bush's oratory skills are to Obama's. Speaking of which, Prince still occasionally suffers grammar issues: "The time for leaders are over!" (sic) he declared to the seventeen thousand of us inside Inglewood's famed Forum. Oops.

"Now all you others say, 'HELL, YEAH!'" Prince encourages white guys to monitor their own dancing.

So Prince is not perfect -- not that you'd notice while he's effortlessly running his "Mountains" into a sing-along of Sly Stone's "Everyday People," channeling Michael Jackson via a ballsy cover of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" or jamming his own countless hits alongside everybody from the legendary Maceo Parker to Sheila E. to his brilliantly-revamped New Power Generation. Perhaps what's most bewildering about the man is his sheer drive: a good night can go three and a half hours, and it's all good. I considered this alongside the news that Prince's brother, Duane Nelson, just died a couple of months ago. Perhaps shaking that ass is the therapy. It's been said that original soul-stirrer Sam Cooke toured as much as possible after the death of his young son (and Prince lost a boy, too; he and I share a name) -- so maybe we are witnessing some sort of exorcism, along with the pop perfection. Or maybe it's because Prince is a quintessential, split-personality Gemini; a few years ago I romanced a rotten Gemini girl with an allegedly sweet reputation, thus Gemini, to me, equals doubt and dread -- but I'm willing to sidestep the Zodiac if a person displays a variety of talents (whereas she only had one talent). So Prince's personal life remains enigmatic, and I'm sure not going to delve into it. But on that stage, trust me, Prince really is all things to all people. When he brings his brilliance to your region, you must go dance in the reign.

Prince: He's not a human. He is a dove.

Happy Birthday, Prince. Good Wishes to You and Yours.

Dear Prince,

Thank you for your music, your spirit, your willingness to share yourself so openly through your performances and most recently, for making my spontaneous L.A. holiday something I'll remember forever

Dear God,

Thank you for Prince

Happy Purple Day, everyone!!

Well, I wasn't going to post on this thread, because I know JWs don't celebrate birthdays, but I'm sure they embrace and celebrate their lives and blessings on a daily basis, so I'll just send Mr. Prince... a "Celebration of Life and Many Blessings" message:

Prince,

Thanks for sharing your creative music skills, the many concerts, and expressing your soul through your music, with us. It is apparent, your boldness, dilligence, and ability to take risks and challenges with your music over the years, has won you the respect and love of many around the world. Stay strong, blessed, and remain the creative and gifted musician/artist you are. Much love to you and yours. Peace.
