If your collection started after 98 they've done you a huge favour

The question is did they do it by accident or on purpose, and if on purpose, why?

I know how you fucking feel.... My inlaws threw out my album collection also. Those mofos said it was the devils music. My collection started at age 11 year 79. Hello!!! My sister in law broke the news to me when I told her I was going to pick up my box of goodies... Those mofos watched me go through box by box knowing Damn well they threw my stuff out and never said a word.
Pssh! Prince can be touring in HELL and if I want a ticket I'm going! I wish a husband would say something. I have flown overseas and back several time to see Prince. I saw several shows in jersey a few in NC and I was heading to cali before Prince side stepped on me. My flipping albums.... GONE.
Got the nerve to ask us to pay for a new roof on there house. SHIIID I'm HOPING for a brutal snow storm. Ugh! PiSSED can never describe the anger I feel when I think about this.. Anyone who knows me knows that Prince and I go way back. I babysat bays bays kid to buy some of those albums. Took buses across town to buy my albums.

Yeah so I feel you. I say make them pay!

For real, though, that sucks. Sorry that happened to you. :/

I could read you poetry and then we could make a story of our own.

My dad broke my little brothers' copy of the Purple Rain album in two after a friend from church had convinced him that Prince was evil. I was furious, needless to say! I had persuaded my brother to ask the album for his birthday, so the album was sort of mine, or at least it felt that way...

A good 20 years later my dad became quite a Prince fan himself, and admires him as a musician. He still feels Prince is a bit of a creep/freak though... wink
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

My sister and her boyfriend had a huge fight......so he waited until she left, then took her entire (extensive) Prince cd collection, snapped them all in half and scattered them all over the front yard so she would see them when she got home. Surprisingly, he is still living. Had it been my collection, the outcome would not have been the same.

Not good, not good at all. And I'm especially sorry to hear about other people's collections that have been destroyed or trashed. Worse thing that could ever happen besides u kno who's expiration... I feel even worse for those who been collecting from late 70s and 80s. That's where the rare stuff is

But I hope my mom doesnt touch my Prince stuff once I leave for college. I already made it clear that if I wont kill her, one of her limbs will be missing if she even steps in my room with intention of touching my purple things.

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

Mmmm. My parents threw away my rock collection, among several other things.

I don't blame you for being angry. So was I.

But ya know what, life goes on. You just simply start all over again.

It's gone, it's gone....there's nothing you can do. Why carry a grudge?

It's not healthy.
