They just all haters, Because Prince choose him out of all the Purple Party people to give him his"MasterPieces" & purple info & his presence to....Poor babies are so hurt & feel neglected..

Its not everyday that a person is picked 2 b in the presence of such greatness..Maybe Prince will open his purple piggy bank & lend a hand...

Like I said, the same orgers who b*tch and and whine about DrF, are usually the same orgers who waste no time, visiting DrF's site searching for Prince news.

And just who are these orgers, exactly? Who does that?

Yes, who exactly complains about this shitty blog while simultaneously posting blurbs from it? I think I've visited it four times, once when the ho-hum Family/Time performance was posted, and after two minutes of listening, it went where all of Prince's recent material belongs: in the trash bin.

We, meaning the world at large, should be uniting to rid the internet of celebrity pap, not encouraging more of it.

Anyone that's dense enough to send money should be asking for proof that it isn't going straight into this guy's pocket. You honestly believe if he pools together, say, 178.35, he's not just going to piss it away on this, that, or the other thing?

I can't believe anyone needs to be told this: Don't send strangers money over the internet.

I agree with all of this but definitely the one in bold.

I feel sorry for the guy, but "very worthwhile" might be better applied to childhood cancer, AIDs, leukemia & any other causes beyond the control of the individual. A diabetic without health insurance on the other hand...

How many of you zealots would donate if there was a t-shirt involved? When will you learn that anything associated with Prince is bound to end a disappointment?

[Edited 8/25/12 2:44am]

Are you saying donating to someone with diabetes is not a worthy cause? How about just caring about the health of another human being? And you do know there are some people who do get diabetes beyond their control, right?

Then, donate to an organization that fights diabetes & not some sad sack 4th rate blogger just because he gets scraps of news thrown to him about your hero. If you're dumb enough to send a stranger $ over the web, go for it.

If it was not for Funkenberry I would not have gotten into after shows. I will always be grateful to him for that. No need for me to pass judgment on anything else he might say.

Then you aren't a fan for a long time. Before drfunkenberry there was HQ (sometimes in collaboration with prince.org) and before that the NPG Music Club. Like others have said if drfunkenberry is gone, Prince will find an other outlet for the news he wants to spread.

A fan since the early eighties. But I did not go to aftershows.

He's not a stranger.

Anytime anyone donates money for any cause has no guarantee it's not going directly into someone's pocket. If you do it, you do it because it's on your heart to give. The best thing about this is I don't give two fucks what the majority of the people on this site think and calling someone dumb because they want to help...well, I guess you're free to do that as well.

"Funk Raiser"? Clever.

I knew that this would turn into a bashing of Dr.Funkenberry. Why am I never surprised when I come to this website. (which by the way is the same layout and crappy format as when I first visited it in 2007)

The front page "updates" of this site is a joke.

Keep me entertained and bicker away at each others throats. This beats TV.

... as a member of this community, he doesn't deserve the flaming he's getting on this thread.

Totally agree. I am shocked by the cruelty shown in many of the posts on this thread, especially the "Get a job/ get insurance" suggestions.

How easy to you think it is for a sick person to find a job? And don't a lot of company insurance policies refuse to cover pre-existing conditions? Finally, what do you think it would cost a person with a chronic disease to buy private insurance? Hundreds of dollars per MONTH, I'd guess.

Yes, Dr. Funkberry probably does need to get his priorities in order, but he doesn't deserve the cruel comments people have made here.

When I first discovered this site, there were a lot more positive people on it. Unfortunately that seems to have changed. It's why I rarely visit any more.

Whatever it was, it was garbage. Quite frankly, the best thing Prince can do for his legacy at this point is to fade away. And that's another reason not to let some celebrity blogger scam you out of your hard earned money, the less Prince is in the public eye making dippy music or statements, the better.

Some promo rehearsals were hyped for no reason, I agree. However Prince is still the bomb and he's the only dude that really matters. We are all getting a little pissed off this year with everything, since we won't get a new album after all the concert excitement we had last year, that left some people unhappy in general.

Instead we are forced to listen to Allolotion which kinda feels like a farce. A little sad and depressing times...on the Prince front!

I think this thread should also be locked by now to keep everyone happy!

Prince produced Ally & Mr. Graham's new projects this year. So I say he has been pretty busy.....Also its a prelude to what's to come from him...

He's been busy, but nobody wants those projects. Everyone wants a Prince album!

Its no different than back in the day when "The Time" & Vanity 6 projects came out first. Then bam Prince hit us real fans back then(Not the after Purple Rain ones) with a mega hit album.

The Prince world is crazy

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll guarantee you both of these releases are absolute shit. They're no doubt over-produced, trend chasers, coupled with tepid lyrics and they'll be heard, thankfully, by about twelve people.

Ya know as sad as it is, since people are so badly craving for a Prince album, they'll be so into those projects believing it is the best thing he ever worked on. You'll see in few months.

He let everyone wait too long in anticipation, it could be a trick of his! Manipulating the masses, it works!

Even without the health issues this is an excellent cause. In addition to his website, he tweets. I know many people who run web news and also ask for money to help keep their site running. He humbly shared his health issues, but again, the social media output from this man is worth the bucks.

Master levelling trolling, it went totally under the radar!

babynoz,

Thanks so much for posting something postive and useful.

And now you know why many of us rarely come here anymore...

There are more responses about "What the fuck is DrFB thinking?!"

and "Prince should pay his bills!" than just basic human concern over his

health. You don't have to donate if you don't want to, but for God's

sake have a little fucking sympathy for a guy who is obviously not doing well,

especially without health insurance. Too many fucking self-absorbed, self-centered

a-holes on here.

Have we all forgotten how to be human? Or is that too much

to ask.

I was just about to post resources, Glad you did. There are many programs for induviduals with chronic illnesses that will pay for the cost of medicine and supplies and even doctor visits. Dr. Funkenberry should look into this, and also speak to a case worker at his local hospital.

As for the site... I'd think it would be a good time to seek advertisers and sponsership.

Good luck with the health issues and look into the resources. you would be amazed at what all is out there.
