Good try, and hey, at least you keep up with my posting history, good girl, but if my perception of you is not important, then why did you feel compelled to convince me that you're a 'ray of sunshine?' lol Even a 'ray of sunshine' would quickly recognize the angry vibe you've been spilling all over this site, and may choose to pass you by with a quickness and not fast enough. lol

So since you claim you don't care about my perception of you, then my opinion of you shouldn't matter, so I may as well say, that it's pretty clear that you have been making strange accusations/assumptions of members here, even me. But I'm not mad at you, because I don't know you (but you are humor to me), and it would take the world to end before I would grant you the opportunity to take me to that point. You've even made assumptions of DocF, EyeJester, etc., who have had some type of communication with Prince or members of his camp, referring to them as syncophants, etc. You did give a hint that you may be an ex-employee/ex-associate of the Prince camp, so you do come off like a disgruntled ex-employee/associate/ex-side chick, etc., maybe angry that you are no longer part of your former employer's/friend's camp, and you're missing it.

Anyway, good luck with using this site to beg for an apology and to obtain attention from the individual/individuals of your intent. Maybe one day you will find peace and happiness with that situation. Have a blessed day and thanks for the entertainment. You'e doing a good job. smile sun

Get it right, it's sycophants, and I haven't made any strange assumptions. Everything you, any member of this site, DocF, and EyeJester post is here. You exaggerate and you get things twisted. I haven't begged for an apology and no matter how many times you want to keep repeating yourself, your opinion/perception of me doesn't matter and I don't need you to wish me good luck. You have no reason to be mad at me. I don't miss being in his crazy cult camp. You must be in it or you're trying to get on the Prince payroll. You need to relax. You're so busy telling me how angry and disgruntled you think I am you can't even see through all your fake laughs and smiley faces how ruffled your feathers look. If it will make you happier I will tell you that this place wouldn't be the same without you. You're good for entertainment and I get good laughs watching people kiss ass. It's something I don't do.

Gurrrhhhhllllll...calm down or I will call Dr. Phil on you.call

You're getting paranoid and delusional again. No I'm not from the Prince camp and not trying to get on his payroll. Now where I obtain my paycheck from is just fine.

I'm also not here on a mission, like you have made clear, is the reason you are here. Let's do some backtracking.. You're the one who came to the org with a grudge, a mission to get back at your former employer--get his attention, and those of his camp, and you made it clear, that if you don't get his/their attention, and an apology, then you threatened to contact your lawyers and take action. You have pretty much pointed that out in threads all over this site. So who is the one with an agenda here? You made it clear you are using this site for that purpose. Now if that's your choice, so be it, but remember, you put it out there, so deal with what you receive from it like an adult with some class and dignity, instead of portraying yourself on a fan site, like some scorned/rejected ex-gf/or a $1.25 trick-one night stand or like some disgruntled ex-employee with a crazy, out-of-control agenda, just because you can't get the attention you're demanding, directly from the source of your intent.

Now if what I post is of no interest or has no importance to you, you would have ignored every one of my posts, and you're still welcome to ignore my comments. That's not a problem, but your responses and comments to my posts, tells a different story. But hey, if you want to continue responding to my posts in the way that you do, and bringing up my username in your posts, it may just give me a reason to clown you as my entertainment. By the way, good luck with your mission. thumbs up!

I didn't say Prince was my former employer, you assumed this. Yes I do have a grudge and I am angry with him. You would think I was talking about you and not Prince. I make points and statements regarding Prince and his fan's negative ways. As a member said, "some are here for negativity's sake." Prince and his fans have this superiority attitude like you can do what you want to do, respond how you want to respond but other people shouldn't. If you don't approve of my purpose for being here it's your problem. You, who assumed I was a friend of Jellybean Johnson or one of his fans and another member who accused me of being Bria are quick to point out how all "the other members of this site choose to pass you by with a quickness and not fast enough." The other member is compelled to tell me, "You ARE batshit crazy. I think other people arent saying it because they would rather ignore the elephant in the room." I hope the both of you would kindly do me a favor and do like the other members you say pass me by with a quickness. Ignore the elephant in the room. lol You don't have to reply to me but you do, so that says what?

smile peace

^ Excuse me for interfering in the diatribe you two are having, but OK, so you are not this person, nor that person, but who the fuck are you then?

OK, I guess 'independent' here is being interpretted in a number of ways. So, I'll explain that when I say independent, I mean specifically that he's operating his own website without financial backing from Prince [or anyone]. I assume that he is?

But, this makes the situation with DF's site even more tragic me. The Prince "news" and "updates" are almost no different from what we got from NPGMC and Luv41A.com, and my hatred of their Prince updates is the reason why I migrated over to prince.org

The guy is interested enough in Prince to promote almost every video and upcming performance (many of which are funnelled to him by the prince camp), but appears to have no knowledge or interest in informing us of things like lawsuits, controversies, breakups, etc.

It appears to me that, if he's not really a mouthpiece for Prince, he's too scared to upset the balance in their relationship so that he can continue to receive updates from the NPG camp.

That's fine, because his site isn't nasty or vitriolic or gossipy. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. The problem is that I don't find his site wholy trustworthy, because the information that comes from Prince is not really something anybody should trust.

Prince lies his ass off. And, DF is going to one day be a moutpiece for one of his lies.


This makes the org a far better place to at least try and arrive at logical conclusions to prince news.

Maybe just maybe the music is his focus and not afros, yellow pants, eyewear and who Prince is banging. If we want 'nasty or vitriolic or gossipy' we've got the ORG for that.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

XxAxX said: Me, too. Plus, he is a genuinely nice person. With so little Prince information out there, it boggles the mind that people would shit on a source.what has Doc done to anyone? Why is his positivity so frowned upon?

Stymie, I just realized after reading your post that I met you and 'J' on the same day, the first day/night of the Empire Club show in Vegas in 2006. Doc doesn't know this, but he was one of the first Prince fans, along with about 3 others earlier that morning, waiting on line outside the Empire Club, that I met in person for the first time, and were members of the NPGMC. I met you later in the afternoon, when you went by a different fan site name. How time flies.


I remember I decided to leave the hotel for a couple of hours in the morning, the day of the first show, to find the location of the club, so I wouldn't have to look for it a few hours before the show started. When I found the club, tbere was already about 5 people, waiting on line, and I introduced myself. DocF was the first one on line with his mom, which he said he brought her to see the show, and I thought it was cool, he brought his mom to see Prince perform. He and his mom, were there early, the next morning, as well, for the second show. After that, I just remembered 'J' as the guy with the red hat and black suit, who was called on stage during the show, at the Empire club to sing/dance.

I saw him again in Vegas during the 3121 shows, and he was handing out a few t-shirts at the Rio in Vegas, to fans waiting on line. I still have that t-shirt believe it or not.....lol.


Anyway, it seems he has always been a very, dedicated Prince fan, humble, and keeping up-to-date with Prince news. I guess you can say he's a pretty cool dude, and hopefully he stays that way.

This story is a good example of how Prince grooms fans and places them in position. It only took "J" a couple of years before he was rewarded by Prince. First, he was called on stage by Prince and now he's "Drfunkenberry" aka "The Doc" who was chosen by Prince to issue press releases from Paisley Park.



Don't be surprised if he ends up as Prince's manager. You know it could happen! His blog is kinda fun.

The spreecast was initiated by Prince and he decides who comes on the show!?! I thought this was a spontaneous idea by fans but this, if it is indeed true, puts a different spin on things. Dr Funkenberry's blog is clearly serving as the Prince "publicist" and without Prince the blog would attract a lot less traffic. I don't understand people hating the doc or defending him. I suppose he weighed up the pros and cons of this arrangement and any of us can tune in or out at any point in time.

Prince is a notorious control freak. Almost all his problems with the internet can be boiled down to his lack of total control over it. He tried to ditch it ("Internet is dead") but in this day and age, he can't. That must piss him off royally.
