i'm just putting this thread out here as a counterpart to the one which has turned into a prince bash-fest.

how the freak do any of you know enough about prince to even comment on his personality?

have YOU ever met him? ever said hello? ever spent enough time to actually get to know him?

are you aware that his attorneys do things to protect his interests without his direct knowledge?

are you aware that dickheaded bootleggers on the internet have been trying to and have been, stealing from him for years now? can you imagine how frustrating and hurtful that must be?

do you understand the fact that prince does not have to live his life to please you?

are you expecting prince to eradicate evil and stop industrial pollutants and environmental destruction and bring world peace?

is your own life so sadly lacking that you need to come to an internet website where every little thing a pop star does is something you take PERSONALLY????

if these thing ring a bell with you, it might be time to sign off and work on your own life a bit. just saying

Well, I think that Prince in many ways IS an asshole. There are plenty of examples and well documented.

But never mind. With this thread you've showed that he is NOT the biggest one that there is...

yes. this thread does that, allrighty

I'm sorry.

your thread has more posts right now, but just watch. THIS thread will be flaming by noon.

When I met him, he was very nice and humble.

I think in every situation that causes some people to think negatively of him, we are only hearing one side of the story.

Speculation & criticism can go either way, I'm afraid. Your response is that of a typical hypocritical sycophant. No offense. Is your life so sadly lacking that you feel compelled to defend a complete stranger from attacks by other complete strangers?

well, then i suppose you would rise to a category of people who could say: i've met prince, i did not like him, his personality is not for me. i suppose. why?

fine. maybe i best tweak the thread title a bit

Prince is a pimp, so what difference does it make if he is an a-hole or a pimp? It's the same thing in my book!

Love your thread. It seems some fans are the only passengers riding on the negative train 24/7, and being miserable seems to be the only sunshine in their lives. I'm not surprised that some fans, often times many diehard fans, come across as though they think they can put Prince in their back pockets, take him out like a wind-up doll, and control the strings to make him do whatever they want him to do or be, as a musician/performer.

[Edited 9/7/12 11:16am]

None of this has anything to do with why I formed my opinion of him.

No problem, Stymie. My comment wasn't based or directed at your post

I personally don't have a problem with Prince. I'd say Prince has carried his career 4 the most part very well. I'm not pleased with the last few years but it's all good. If all artist could have had the same career as Prince, we would all be better off 4 it. These folks going on all of these rants are the minority NOT the majority. He knows that and we do as well.

The reality is.........Prince has done more 4 me and my love of music than I ever thank him 4. That is all that I can ask of any artist.

[Edited 9/8/12 6:13am]

^ that's a nice answer. i'd have to say i've never met the man, but i have enjoyed his music for years and back in the day i was grateful when he opened up paisley park for us. i'd miss him if he weren't around on the musical horizon, cranking it up

paisleysoul said:

I don't get why anyone would b a member of this site if they felt that way...I'm here cuz I admire his talent & LOVE his music.If you feel you have to resort to calling him a asshole because u don't agree with the way he handles his business you've got deeper issues.

You're new here Paisleysoul, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Hang in there though, not all of us come here to ridicule Prince. In time with the development of Internet law, I'm sure we'll get hate filters so we can have selective viewing. In the meantime, you'll learn a lot about the music, the fans and after a while, that will all be old news. The org will then become an o.rganisation of r.epetitive g.ambits, but still the place to find out about any concert news and releases. Enjoy the ride!

And for the record: Prince is absolutely NOT an asshole. Different, yes. Talented, yes. Loved by many, Yes. Hated by some, yes.

I once read an article in the Rolling Stones that if Marvin Gaye paved the way for Americans to openly discuss foreplay, thereby keeping the bedroom door slightly ajar, with Dirty Mind, “Prince ripped that door right off its hinges.”

It was the 80s, and sexual expression through androgyny wasn’t just merely a hazy layer of smoke left over from the Bowie-esque afterglow of the 60s and 70s., but rather it became sort of a counter-Reagan era statement. Where Bowie and Jagger experimented with sexual fluidity, Prince took it from subculture, to Vegas culture, to the damned Playboy mansion and back, and spread it on his circle jerk piece of toast with political penis butter.

You’re gonna have to fight your own damned war, Prince proclaimed, after he spends an evening in a bed with his female lover and her other man. And still lying in those dirty ass bed sheets soaked with sperm, littered with used condoms, and smelling like poppers and pussy juice, he dials up the President’s number and yells, “Ronnie talk to Russia before its too late!” People, that shit is BRAVE when you’re doing it in a trench coat, leg warmers, silk pannies, and a redneck bandanna tied around your neck.

Prince…..the critics darling of the early 80s…. Prince… the sexually obscure…Prince….the ethnically confusing….Prince….the beautiful little butterfly in the butterfly effect.

He was doing everything everyone else was doing and more. Michael Jackson was dancing his ass off on stage, but so Prince….And Prince did it with a guitar. Like that famous quote, “Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Estaire did…but she did it backwards and in high heels!” Well, damnit if Prince wasn’tour Ginger in high heels, but with curly chest hair, a bad perm, and decked in gawdy French Colonial inspired trench coats.

So what if Madonna wore a wedding dress and crawled on the floor shocking the world with her famousLike a Virgin performance—Prince would have done the same thing in the same dress, but the floor would have been a complete mess afterwords, I ain’t neva lied!

It was Prince who took the mantle of sexual fluidity from Bowie and Jagger. Prince was gayer than all of them rolled in to one. He was so gay in fact, that most of his songs about sex always hinted at him liking to slap it up against his face if you know what I mean.

Bambi, can’t U understand…

Bambi…It’s better with a man…. (Bambi)

Or

I just hate 2 C and erection go to waste…. (Rock hard in a Funky Place)

Or

Sexy Motherfucker (up until that point, I had NEVER heard a woman called a motherfucker). Almost every song on the symbol album, Gold Experience or any of his early 90s works, has some element that you can trace to ass or anal stimulation. This of course, is mixed with religion, politics, style, and dolphins—that shit is too awesome.

Prince owned his gayness to great affect. Go in the general discussion forum right now and you will not find one single heterosexual man in there---many will claim to be straight, but they are obviously very gay.

Prince cultivated, on purpose, a confusing sexual identify to appeal to the masses. He had, at one time, cultivated a confusing racial identity to do the same.

I think of Prince a lot like Steve Jobs. He was in complete control of his image branding from beginning to end. Purple Rain was his iPod, the stage was his Apple keynote speech, and buttless pants were his black turtleneck. Prince was on fire. Only in the early days, instead of a scrollwheel, you know damned well, you’d get a revolving bedroom door and a seriously fierce blowjob.

And even in the late and early millennium, Prince maintained a certain kink about himself even after taking on JW.

When he says he has the butter for your muffin, he’s not talking about dairy products afterall. He’s talking about what our girl Paula De3n is talking about down here:

I reflect upon this new Prince with a somber appreciation, somewhat slight disappointment, but always with a reverence for the hinges he tore off. Prince, was magnificent, wasn’t he?

May this New Year bring him all the love and peace he desires. But may he tear more hinges off, specifically those in the pearly gates one day. Prince….I raise a glass to you!

HOw do you explain his marriages, if he is truly anal and cock obsessed? U say he is gay?

I realise all that anal stimulation is appealing to gay audiences, and you all wanna bone him just like all the female fans do.
