During the performances there was this weird super-skinny kid by the stage holding up a BIG plackard with, in BIG black letters POOM POOM! 99% of America probably said to themselves "What the hell is Poom Poom?"What the hey would motivate a kid to make that sign? He must have been one hell of a POOM POOM fan,. So there's DEFINITELY one!
"weird"!..."super-skinny"! Do I know you...or better yet, do you know me? I'm sure I don't remember talking to you (unless you were the girl from connecticut) so how can you say I'm weird or not? Suddenly having a good time at a free Prince show in NYC with your mates is weird...yeah, I'm weird then! Poom Poom became kind of a joke for me and my friends so I brought it to almost every show. We had a bet that if I brought the sign to as many shows as i went to, Prince would finally play it for me. I lost the bet, cuz he never played it at a show I was at. Ain't that a b@*#h! [This message was edited Fri Mar 7 13:09:26 PST 2003 by imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty] I just remember being totally stunned bu that sign: it haunts me and I think of it every time I skip that track! ...Do you have a "We Gets Up" sign sitting around anywhere? I'm not insulting you, you just made me totally laugh, because taking the time to make, and carry around a Poom Poom sign it totally bizarre to me! Mark David Chapman weird! It's so ludicrous! Maybe I'll make a "Right the Wrong" sign for the next concert! | |

probably not considering your orgname. | |

You do whatever makes you smile. 
What's weird is that the sight of some "super-skinny" guy holding a sign at a concert makes you think of mark david chapman...that is far scarier than me actually writing it and bringing it to the show. Talk about creepy! 
Have you been to many concerts before? Just curious. Because every show I've ever been to has had multiple signs with ludicrous requests/statements...and I'm not just talking about Prince shows. Oh well, it's cool. The world is full of many colorful people and I just happen to be one of them! Glad I could make you laugh! It's kind of an honor that you've remembered me and that sign all this time. When I listen to Poom Poom, I just think about that friend I had the bet with (and the beat of the song)...not a sign. peace. | |

break it down... (except that by golly part lol) "Climb in my fur." | |

Calling 'Poom Poom' no nonsense is like describing Howard Stern's radio show as no nonsense. | |

Poom Poom and Baconskin are FUN songs! Lighten up! And what he decides to bring out of HIS vault is his choice. He's a fun person - everything doesn't have to be some "perfect" musical composition based on some stringent technical music criteria. And we sure don't want him to only put out what the mass media and mainstream public would approve of. ***PEACE, HARMONY, AND FUN*** | |

And I love Jughead - it's a hoot!! :wOOT:
I don't understand all the negativity for some of Prince's songs. I just don't get it! One of his main attributes is variety. Some people seem to want to pidgeon hole him into some kind of narrow tunnel - don't stray off this path Prince or we won't love you anymore. Geeezzz! ***PEACE, HARMONY, AND FUN*** | |

That's just it, the public probably would approve of Poom Poom. --------------------

That's just it, the public probably would approve of Poom Poom. Aah! I hear you. Maybe that would pull in some of the public to check out some of his "other" music. ***PEACE, HARMONY, AND FUN*** | |

Vashti said: The only thing wrong with "Poom Poom" is the redundant chorus.
Two POOM POOM's would've sufficed. NOTHING IS WORSE THAN "JUGHEAD and/or STROLLIN'"  YOU DON'T LIKE STROLLIN??? LCD falls to the floor  ***************************************************
Seems like the overly critical people are the sheep now days. It takes guts to admit that you like something. -Rdhull ...it ain't where ya from, it's where ya at... - Rakim | |
