I can't stand any of his music right now.

Can't turn it on, can't listen to it, nothing.

And it's weird, because I'll have times when I listen to nothing else, just Prince all day ever day. And then I'll drop him like nothing and stop listening. And when I stop listening I just can't turn it on.

I mean, I still like him, but I can't hear it at all right now.

Anyone else ever felt like this?

No.

Hell, why were on the subject I get mad at Prince for treating his fans messed up. I mean damn suing us, no autographs, posting these whack ass links, not giving us real cd covers and hell, after all these years he could come give The Org a Q & A-damn A fan just can't win

If you're so sick of the abuse then why do you stay with him?

I go periods where I don't listen to him but it's not a conscious thing. Usually just because I'm focused on another artist or looking for new artists to enjoy.

sometimes, I want to listen to others, such as Aretha Franklin for now, but it almost never happens "not to want to" listen to Prince..

Did he die on you too?

Nah, but I think I OD'd on him.

Sorry, I am so different. I'm a one man woman and If anyone asks: I belong to Prince.

That happened to me today. I just could not do it. Had not listened to any of his songs in weeks, and when I fired up the iPod today and hit the playlist, it just didn't work. Songs that I grooved to a few months ago sounded amateurish and noisy and awful. Even Lavaux, which I love(d?). Maybe the fever is over. Or maybe it will return.

I can, however, watch his films, and I will never ever tire of Purple Rain. Or the campy "UTCM". So that's something. I lurv looking at that face. Maybe it's the man I like more than his music.

It'll probably return... every time I stop listening to an artist it feels like I'll never like their music again, then a few months later, I do.

I haven't played his music in a while like I did for almost two months straight last year but I think every May, June or July I find myself playing him. I got a lot of Prince to play though so maybe he'll come across my mind to play next month or maybe this month.

I think it's good to take a break from some of your favorite artists,once in a while....and use that time to listen to someone else,and explore something different.

Weird. It already has. Fired up the iPod yesterday and fell in love all over again. Woo hoo!
