How many are FAKE fans? I have to admit some things about myself. It's time to get it of my chest and out of the closet.
I don't have the 'purple rain' cd, nor the '1999'. I do have many of his cd's, however I don't know the exact number. I can't shout out the right name of a Prince song when I hear the first tunes. As a matter of fact, I oftentimes love a song, however, don't know the name. I do have some bootlegs, and other 'fan' material.
However, I don't know all his bandmembers by name, not his current, let alone all throughout history.
I went to several concerts, in Holland, Belgium, NY and London.
I do love listening to his music, which I do, 1 or 2 times a week. His voice has a very soothing effect on me. Because, to me, it's so familiar and during endless crises I have listened to his music and heard his voice. His voice has a very strong effect on me.
The same for my cat. My cat loves classical music and Prince. The rest, he can handle with an annoyed look on his face or he walks away, leaving, with a killer look at me, or starts miauwing until I change the music.
I think he's a great musician, and as a human he has flaws. Just like the rest of us.
There. I said it. I'm just a fake fan.

I didn't want to come across as too normal. That would make me suspicious, wouldn't it?

let me guess, DJJ:
--- if you were a fan like I was back then in 1983-84 you just had to own these albums. On LP vinyl that is, the cd's came around later. (My first Prince cd was Sign O The Times in 87).

I had them on tape. However, they'r lost. I do have a lot of cd's and other material
However, somehow, I never bought those cd's. Eventhough, I do have some obscure cd's
And I do have the cd 'For you', however, it's scratched heavily. I need to replace it.
I'll put them on my christmas list for this year.

I hate to tell you, but if his voice has that effect on you-then you are a fan! I don't have every Prince cd either, but I have been his fan since 81-the voice did it to me ![]() | |

However, I do have a single released for the Asian/Australian market with a long version of "Solo" on it, it's one of my favorite songs. You really think I would be considered a REAL fan? I mean, I do lack factual knowledge big time.

Well, then my cat is a fan too.
He really loves to listen to Prince music. Relaxes his whole body on the couch and his ears are going back and forth as soon as he hears P. True. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

My son must be a real fan too, because "Bob George" has that effect on him. He's seven weeks old. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. | |

My cat, may he RIP, used to like when I played Prince music too. It's because they sense your mood at the time and they like it.
But shame on you and Nursey for not owning more cds...
Just kidding, but I agree wholeheartedly about his voice. It kinda feels like I've been listening to him for centuries...like I'm tuned in to his frequency or something. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Real fans sleep below his window and stitch him cloud shaped pillows...
Real fans send him naked pictures so that he can see that we have completely covered our undeserving bodies with images of him and symbols that he promotes
Real fans send him videos where we dance to his music and scream his lyrics in a high pitched voice. Solidarity bitches, solidarity
Real fans know what he eats before he decides to eat it
Real fans show up to his concerts and present him with CDs full of his music that we have remade for him
Real fans save their virginity for Prince and change religions whenever he does
Real fans have two copies of everything he ever released, one opened, and one in mint condition
Real fans have AT LEAST one restraining order against them…we also know that we are Fams because the term "fan" makes Prince feel uncomfortable...kind of like cotton, underwear, and time.

What a cool cat you have! I consider myself a fan even though I dont have many bootlegs or all the albums. Anyone who spends a fortune to go to more than one show & have floor seats & can sing along to most of the songs is a fan I think. Have u had your + sign today? | |

You do not hate Prince, so you're not a fake fan. But you're not a hardcore fan, but strangely hardcore enough to sign up to this website | |

I respect him and his sound is often emulated, and have liked him since about 1986, but I'm a casual fan. I don't feel I need to own all of his albums though I wish to own some of the tours, especially LoveSexy. I don't have all of his albums and he has his share of albums I like, and the ones I didn't care for upon listening. I have:
For You Prince 1999 Purple Rain Around the World In a Day The Hits 1 The Hits 2 Chaos & Disorder New Power Soul Musicology 3121
Planning to get Diamonds & Pearls soon, and maybe the one with Pussy Control if I like it.
But don't get me wrong, some songs from the albums I don't have are some of his best ever. These include Alphabet Street, The Greatest Romance Ever Sold, Sign O The Times, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Controversy, Thieves in the Temple [Edited 9/7/11 3:01am] [Edited 9/7/11 3:01am] | |
