Wolf, first off, You arenot showing your intelligence by coming on this website and making this statement.

I think David Bowie is a excellent musician.
I have seen him in concert two times, and I can tell you, he is good but he doesn't even touch what Prince puts out at a concert.

I saw more people at the Bowie shows dressed up in silly clothes than I ever saw at a Prince show.

I only personally know one Bowie fan and she is intelligent but kind of mean, so I can't speak on Bowie fans intelligence.

Another thing, Bowie is white and British. He never got the rap that Prince has to put up with being black, short

True, there are some silly Prince fans, but I have been to many afterparties and everyone I met was intelligent.

There are a lot of people that criticize Prince and don't even know anything about him, and I think the people that look past all of this and can see the genius in his music and appreciate it are very intelligent.

This is not about Prince's music!
It is about how dumb his fams are.
And how kewl Bowie fans are.
Jeez, Ian.
And that I use every opportunity to talk Mrdespues out of his clothes...makes it general discussion.
Or so I thought.


What is it with you and me not wearing any clothes!

I am both a David Bowie fan and a Prince fan (not Fam, I ain't family I invited him to my wedding and he didn't RSVP) does that make me a Smart Dumb Ass?

Do people really turn JW just because Prince has? Surely Not, just to keep this in the Prince Music forum, he's a bloody good singer isn't he!!

the only Bowie songs that people will know are Changes & Under Pressure


I would gather from this statement you are about 17 years old. All I'll say is:
Space Oddity
Young AMericans
Lets Dance
China Girl
and the list could continue.

Changes & Under Pressure are 2 of Bowie's non-hits. I don't believe you have any grasp of Bowie's stature in the music world.

The album Space Oddity is awful. Ziggy Starduct is amazing though. I am sure that most people know a few more songs than Changes and Under Pressure. You could say that all people know of Prince is Purple Rain and The Most Beautiful Girm In The World, when I tell people I like Prince that's all they seem to know (oh yeah, and Batman).

Is a serious question.

Does it mean smart music attracts smart people?
Why does Prince attract people who are willing to call themselves FAM or actually turn Jehova?
Why do Prince admirers dress up in silly clothes at concerts?

Bowie fans have a kewl site as well, like this one, but the posts there are more interesting than the ones I see here lately...

Now it is easy to say; GO TO THAT BOWIE SITE THEN. But I love lots of people HERE. And they do not have a hamster cage at Bowie's site...

I must admit that I am very happy with our latest fave addition here; Mrdespues. He's fun, not too cynical and he's from OZ! Good things come from OZ. Like koala's, I think. And Tracy.

Anyways. I am not saying I am smarter than you. I am not.
Well, Smarter than SOME out here anywayz. And smart enough to realise I am not intelligent, unlike SOME.

LALA.
I just woke up. And I am wide awake. And I want to see how people react to a bold statement like this and see if they can come up with a SMART answer. Or a funny one. Or a blatant rude one, without it being considered FLAME (now THAT is a hard one).

I used to be a HUGE bowie fan but mellowed out a little, now I can tell you that Prince fans are a LOT more sophisticated and friendly than Bowie fans. TRUST ME... Bowie fans can be quite the little ignorant fascists..
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

To be quite honest, I never bought into the "fam" thing. It's silly. That being said, Prince's music is so multifaceted and complex that it attracts intelligent people with discriminating tastes. I never like to get into the debate of which music fans are smarter than others, but the Princeophiles I've encountered are invariably intelligent and successful.

And if u think Bowie fans are smarter, turn them on to Coltrane fans. Those cats will make Bowie fans look like O-Town groupies.

i like both artist,and there r unintelligent bowie fans and unintelligent prince fans. u will find these kinds of ppl in every fan club. i have been a prince fan 4 over 20 years and i have attended just about every concert,and i have always dressed like a queen. nothing but the best 4 p. and as far as becoming a JW, that is out of the question. i don't agree with their beliefs.just because my idol does something stupid, doesn't mean that i will follow suit.

Actually - Prince fans are much smarter, After all, they don't need to be told to DANCE, put on the red shoes and dance the blues now do they? lol

Seriously - two very different styles, can't compare.

Prince fans are opinionated about bootlegs, music industry, downloads cause thats what Prince has balked about the last 10yrs+ Bowie is older and knows he is and is getting all he can out of the years!

Oh yeah. Miles Davis himself, not known to be quick to praise any musician, said Prince was the Duke Ellington of his day. Coming from Miles, I'd think that says something about the intelligence of his music.

I know Bowie blazed a path in music and fashion, but Prince was Bowie, Sly, Jimi, James and Miles wrapped in one. Prince could play anything Bowie can, but I doubt Bowie could do Housequake, Adore, Love or $, Movie Star, Emancipation, and so on.

By the way, BLUE JEAN IS MY JAM!!!

I presume you're not tryin' to diss, Miss, but if u were, I'd think you'd try a more reasoned response than that. I come with facts, you come with taunts. And I thought you'd represent Bowie better than that.
