Open your heart, open your mind

I am a level 4 on my own scale too, the bit about flying overseas to concerts and Prince parties was my experience, I flow from Auckland to Melbourne for a show in 2012. And last year flow to Sydney to go to the Cream Prince Party which was amazing and I met 3 of the guys from Peach and Black.

However until 2012 I was a a 3C, now with the bootlegs I am level 4. I have stayed with a woman who is clearly a Level 5 Prince fan, down to the walls decorated with posters, shrines, books, Prince on every conceivable medium down to piano rolls if possible. And I loved it. Also I know two really huge Prince fans I consider Level 5's - Lust and Mostbeautifulboy.

I think because I love other artists like Madonna, MJ, Celine Dion etc, I can never leap to Level 5 and also because my partner can barely tolerate my Level 4 level of Prince fandom.

And Prince himself would probably be a Level 5.5 fan.

3C Fan with a Prince love - Has 95% of Princes official output and looking for more, quotes Prince lyrics, loves Prince, but still sane. Still theres room for improvement and the purple kool aid sits on a shelf.

This is me!

True or False: Prince loves to be given sand dollars.

Wait! Wait--I know this one!!

True. Because it allows him to crush an innocent person's dreams.

I wouldn't overthink it. Just ask them what their favourite unreleased track is! If you get a blank stare, walk away! [Edited 3/23/14 19:34pm]

But what if it just seems like a blank stare, but they're really just going through the possibilities and facing an impossible choice?

Oh, and the answer's All My Dreams, followed by I Wonder.

Bwahaha!!!!

Thought of some questions for each level of my fan scale. For clarification of the levels, see the post on page 2 by me.

The levels to 1A are not counted we don't really care, rather than an SAT test or an exam, I stick to basic one sentence questions leading to a paragraph at most. The questions can be answered by the fans at each level, and several wrong answers will determine a level. Rtaher than drop the answers, already, have a go!

Of course no test is perfect and some people who get high scores may get basic questions wrong (Most level 5 people will be over Purple Rain ) and some low level ones can get hard ones right. Heres my list

Level 1 - Casuals

1A - Super casual, What was the name of the single that spent 5 weeks at number 1 in the American Billboard Hot 100 charts. Clue it's off Purple Rain?

1B - Club Casual, Name all the Top 10 hits off Purple Rain?

1C - Casual Plus, Name at least 3 other Prince albums between 1978 and 1992 besides Purple Rain?

Level 2 - Fans with Potential

2A - Fanette, Name 5 current or past members of the Revolution or the New Power Generation and then the instrument they were famous for?

2B - Minor Fan, What did Prince do on his 35th birthday and why?

2C - Good Fan, Name 3 women Prince was linked with over the years?

Level 3 - Prince Enthusiasts

3A - Good Fan, Name 10 B sides issued between 1982 and 1992

3B - Super Fan, Name all of Prince's official studio albums and the years they were released. You can miss up to 4 albums.

3C - Prince fam, What was the name of Prince's son who died in 1996, how old was he and what did he die of?

Level 4 - Hardcore

4 - Name 20 Prince tours, whether he was feature artist or a opening act, and the years they were performed.

4+ - Name every band member Prince had from 1978 to 1995 and the instruments they paid, plus the years they performed. You can only get 4 wrong and you do not have to include unofficial members.

Level 5 - Obsessed

5- Name 50 Bootleg or unreleased tracks

5+ Name every album released by Prince and all of his proteges, plus the year plus any singles released. 90% Accuracy will earn a pass for level 4 and 5 questions.

Level's 1 to 3 are meant to be easy, but 4 and 5 are hard and meant to take MUCH longer. I will not being giving answers for levels above 3C as they are pretty hard.

Is the stone in your class ring purple simply because of Prince?
