Has Prince gotten bored w/twitter already??

The twitter account seems different now. It's like he has taken a step back & allowed the ladies to take over. That's what it looks like to me. If that is the case, I'm not really surprised. He's probably too busy. Twitter can take up a lot of 1s time if you let it. I don't. Not anymore anyway. I barely have time to come on here, & I almost forgot my log in name.. I had to dig a little to remember it. O, while I'm here, may as well mention that I was watching that African American special that they had on PBS a couple of weeks ago, w/ Louis or Henry Gates.. & on one part, they said that black entertainers helped to bring African Americans to the forefront of American culture, & they showed a clip of yours truly, Mr. P & a few others. clapping

Your truly means you, so if you're not Prince then you were in the documentary.

Who knows but I sure got bored with his Twitter feed
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

It seemed like that 2 hour Q&A was passing the phone around with him and 3EG. I just think he's more focused on rehearsals and ramping up to promote the album outside of the social media circles.

He'll be around, but don't expect him to be on every day. A year could go by before he's back on, or he could be back on tonight. I think he gets a kick out of surprising the fans and doesn't want to burn out on technology.

Bottom line - you know where he's playing, you know where to find the songs, and you know to check the Livestream to see when he'll pop up again (and wasn't he writing in the Livestream chat?)

Twitter is a good quick and dirty bulletin board for artists to put the word out about upcoming shows and surprise last minute announcements. He had fun with it a couple of times and probably keeps tabs on the "Twitterverse".

I think I know him so well, that I could be him biggrin. True story- in high school, this guy handed me a note that said I looked like Prince!! I have never forgotten that.. "Yours" truly means who I want it to mean. So there smarty pants rolleyes rolleyes

I'm glad he isn't on there all of the time. I'd rather he concentrate on other things..
