Why is it people look at me as if I were a freak when I express my love for Prince and his music??? I'd say 80% of people look at me crazy when I reply 'Prince' as my favourite artist. Why is someone who was once the epitome of cool and hip now so underground and forgotten?
Something that contradicts this happened today though.
I work with this ageing, homophobe rocker, who is into Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. I normally I stay well away from him but on my way in today, he spotted my earphones and asked me what I was listening to. Knowing his views, I hesitated to answer. "Um...Prince." "Cool. Prince is fucking mean on his guitar.He did some good stuff." He sort of nodded and looked impressed. I just walked by gobsmacked.

You're not the only one. 80% of people are just asses.
Express it and don't hold back. Don't mind them.

I would argue that, with the exception of the immediate Purple Rain era, Prince has always been an "underground" artist.
It might also be that "express[ing] my love for Prince" part that weirds them out. I've been a Prince fan for 30 years and people who do that even creep me out. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

They aint got that passion that you proudly show
Being a Prince fan is like belonging to a private privilleged community. I stare @ ppl who dont know/like Prince as if there complete nut jobs "How Can I Stand To..Stay Where I Am? Poor Butterfly Who..Dont Understand." P | |

When I have on a Prince shirt or button the 2 most common questions I get, and the 2 answers I always give, are:
Q "Is that Prince?" A "Of course."
Q "You like Prince?" A "Doesn't everybody?"
REEFER MADNESS!

most(and i mean pretty much all people) dont know anything about prince outside of purple rain, and a few of his other pop hits. they see him as nothing more than an effeminate, vapid, talentless song and dance man Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great | |

Why? He's the one who marketed himself using the androgynous & is he/isn't he image early on in his career. That can't be deleted from the public's psyche just because he doesn't market himself that way anymore.
Next time people ask, say yes to whatever it is. At least that way, he'll still get talked about.
Is he gay? yes. And a tranny.
Did he have 2 ribs removed? Hell, no, he had them all removed so he blow himself while putting his high heels on.
Did he really once pay someone for something he bought? hmm.... might be pushing it now.
blah blah blah | |

I have a male 'friend' who said "I CAN'T listen to Prince!", because he thinks he's gay.
But then I heard him playing Elton John in the car!!
Other people have said and done similar things.
It's annoying but all they're doing is showing us how stupid they are! [Edited 10/10/11 8:21am] | |

Because people have always looked at Prince as being the weirdest of the 80's superstars/Prince,Michael and Madonna. In actuality he is the most normal and talented out of the group and he sues muthafuckas to keep his business his bizness! I wish MJ would have done the same thing-he could've avoided a lot of problems. But yeah I was at mens wearhouse with my son the other day and the guy was trying to figure out my email address ![]() ![]() | |

Maybe it's not what you're expressing, but how you're expressing it? Too many of ya'll can barely keep the pussy juice in when you just mention his fucking name, I can only imagine what you look/sound like when you are professing your unfathomable love. Christ.
Besides, what does that say when you let comments and reactions like that disturb you?

He's seen amongst the everyday people as either gay or a genius. Sadly most consider him gay. But when someone likes Prince it not just "oh he's alright" its "wow he's good." So either you hate him, love him, or have never heard of him. No in between really. Or at least that is just me. | |
