The Truth is Prince FAMS- we R huge dorks.We spend 2 much time worrying about some dude from MN. We geek out about him and write the stupidest shit I have ever read. I mean, look at how I am writing now. What do I do this 4? 4? C'mon I mean Come On.

PEace and be-well if you are a dork you know the rest

i personally hate the term FAM. but that's just me..

I've been a fan since 1999, but - like so many others - it was the Purple Rain era that got me sucked in. And I do believe that the mid to late 80's era was his best artistically.

So I guess I'm type C.

i gotta agree with a lot of what skywalker said. hehe

well, i'm the kinda fan who feels lucky enough to have been a fan during the 1999 album era -- an album that hooked me on Prince for good after very first listen, then i enjoyed all the releases of the 80s, dropping away when the greatness of Lovesexy was not sustained or bettered, taking a peek at Graffiti Bridge, and then dropping away for good until I had a chance to talk with him a few years back... and now he has me curious and furious at the same time. tho here i remain.

I am FAM type C. I just managed to squeeze into that elitest group thanks to Batman.

Well, I became a "fan" around the "1999" era, but I guess I'm type C.

I'm type C.

Do we get colorcoded bracelets or some sort of ID to signify our fam type? Kinda like a medical bracelet that states a person's blood type? If I ever need artificial respiration or something, I don't wanna get it from some D or F type...

(btw, I ain't no stinkin' "FAM")

I'm a Fam G.

Somewhere between A & B: I was too young in the 70's to really consider myself a fan (couldn't buy records, etc.) but I dug him since the beginning...

Iam a type C

I would'nt ever call myself a fam! Apart from it being a stupid sounding word, it means something very different from where I come from! I just call myself a fan.

I'm type A and proud of it!

What does it mean and what type of fan are you?

CalhounSq said:

I always thought you were FAM type D with shades of FAM type B.

i'm a cross between b & d...and i agree with u, anji: folks who are in the 'a' category don't get 2 much respect 'round here. i respect the old-skoolers 2 the ultra-fullest, cuz they're like the elders of the .org and they've seen it all.

the old-skoolers

I sensed you were FAM type D/E but I thought you'd try to front as FAM type A. Sexy Dansa!

Just realised there is no FAM type E.

Anji said:

ain't no way i'd be in the type a category--i wasn't born till late 1980, so i missed out on damn near everything...i didn't become a freek till '95.

...gee, i like the old-skool stuff so much i could pass 4 a type a, huh?

eye am type P positive, the rarest prince friend there is.
eye can transfuse with any other FAM types...(safely)
P 4 Purple
P 4 Precision
P 4 Paradox
P 4 Paradise
P 4 Paisley
P 4 Prince

XXcepshunal said:

Sounds like a mix of FAM type A & C.

Dansa is not really a fam, she only likes one Prince album, so that makes her a one note fam, but I love her to death.

Licks Dansa.

I agree...
we should all bow down to the old skoolers
What a trip!

skywalker said:

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well at a push I'd say between b/c. Fam is a really juvenile term to describe someone who has done a exploration type of sexual type act (not full sex) on a girl. Its really silly but I would get some really strange looks if i described myself as a fam to people. You really do need to live round here to understand!
