1) I had absolutely no idea just how eager some of his female contingent are to get inside his knickers

2) I didn't have a real understanding of how Prince's business affairs affect fams worldwide e.g. NPGMC / Crystal Ball fiascos

3) I really had no concept how popular some of Prince's associated artists are; e.g. the Wendy and Lisa club and Tony M. / Larry G. haters

4) I was not particularly clued up about how widespread and accessible the bootleg market has become

5) I didn't even think that Prince would attract heartfelt, let alone knowledgeable, debaters and followers of religion

6) I had little regard for the Parade album

Prince school has all kinds of students, at all levels. What have you learnt?

I learned that fries definitely do go with that shake.

I've learned a lot, heard a lot and received a lot. There's no place like "home".

I've learned that the longer and the more thoughtful your thread is, the less responses you'll get.

he has knickers?

I learned a lesson similar to the one in which a teacher once told me how to approach reading a book. Just keep asking yourself this question about the author:

"Who is this bastard, and why is he lying to me?"

i.e. Be ready for plans to change, stories to go untold, surprises to crop up.

And so it goes with Prince as well!

Sad but true!

I learned that this is the place for this, that, and more.

And the more effort required by posters, the less responses you'll get.

I am not lying to you.

Anji said:

yeah...


lazy posters!

I also learnt that some girls actually salivate over Prince's look between 1978-1980. Even the hairy ass pictures from Dirty Mind.

puttin my hands on my hips...and what's wrong with that???



well?

I've learned that Princes original message is lost on some die hard fans, especially the most outspoken who "think" they got it.

Controversy.

Anji said:

double controversy.

rd mad?

I have learned to become more of a "fan" and less of a "fam".

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

just dissappointed...I expect more from Prince people.

rdhull said:

ahhh...

stymie said:

I have learnt that fams are not welcome.

rdhull said:

How could you possibly expect more? Have you ever taken a look around at one of the concerts? I'm like, these people listen to Prince?! Dang, this ain't funky...

Anji said:

Aww, Anji! Fams are welcome, too!

Anji said:

It isn't the clientel per se..its the misinterpretation of lack of understanding the message of what Prince used to be all about. Bunch of poseurs a lot of them are. They go to the concert and dig the message and agre with it ( not the religion etc per se but the Uptown manifesto)but when they leave they go back to their shiny metal boxes and closed minds etc.

rdhull said:

I have never really spent significant time with any Prince fams, outside of concerts. Except here, of course.
