Where were you when you first heard that song? This can be about ANY SONG I think it's awesome how when you listen to a song, and you remember where you were when you first heard it, you remember what you was into at that time. It's just like watching a movie or TV show. You get a certain feeling about memorable things. The nostalgia is real! Here is where I was at when I first heard PHEROMONE: SCIENCE CLASS. Ok, before you think I'm a bad student, let me explain a little bit. Usually in Ecology, teacher would let us have head phones (especially me, 'cause I was the quiet dude. So I listened and it was amazing... I loved the risque atmosphere that Prince created.. as I of course still do now. There was a girl in front of me who I talked to a lot in that class. My favorite type who was a little shy, goth-type girl (who are the best kind if you ask me.. now I just need to find one who is funky.. music-wise lol) and let's just say I started to think of stuff...................... haha, this has just got weird and awkward.. XD If you have any good stories (or ok-ish stories, I don't discriminate.) Please, feel free to share. Feel free as a bird.... feel free as Prince is..........

) Just as long as we'd do our work. The night before, I had just got the album 'Come' from F.Y.E. I was suprised they had this and I screamed once I saw it. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy! (Maybe I am.) But anyways, I went home, ripped it from the CD to my computer and then to my MP3. I didn't listen to everything once I got it because my grandmother, Dad and the whole gang was over. So it would have been awkward as shit.

I remember driving on North 2nd Street the first time I heard Little Red Corvette. I remember driving on 209 and the college station announced a NEW Prince song and they played Good Love.  | |

A somewhat interesting story about the first time i heard Kiss.
Back in the day, i was somewhat of a bad boy, and as a result, i was incarcerated a few(about 6) times. So the way it worked(in juvenile hall), was if you were a good boy(or girl), you could get on a list to have your own cell, instead of living in a dorm setting. So me being the chill person that i was(am), i eventually got a one person cell. Also they would usually let us one man cell persons(unless things were on lockdown), listen to the radio(through the intercom) at night. Well this one particular night i was asleep and woke up hearing the tail end of this song that sounded like a Prince song. So me being the Prince fan that i was, i just had to know if that was a new Prince jam. So the next evening i stayed up until about midnight(lights out at 10pm), listening to the radio, hoping that they would play that song again. No luck. The next night, no luck. The third night, i fell asleep as soon as i hit the bed, so i don't know if they played that song. The fourth night was a winner ! I was chilling in the bed, getting ready to rub one off
So they played kiss, and the rest is history. I did about 2 more months and then went home. Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |

learning how to drive a manual transmission in my girlfriend's 280zx, while simultaneously high off weed, and drunk off Brass Monkey, when i heard 1999 for the first time...i was already a Prince fan, but that was the moment he passed Earth Wind & Fire as the most important musical presence in my life.. | |

I was 11 ,my brother was 14 an had mentioned prince. Later he went to see purple rain at a small cinema in uk-no big release. Anyway watched ""Entertainment USA" on bbc2 n they showed the video for when doves cry. For me game was over. Precociously at that time I thought I was talented and obsessed with English music. However I knew this guy however frustrating he may become kinda made it all redundant. I weirdly never tried again artistically coz he benchmarked beyond my capability.Bit sad. However the power n presence just blew my mind. Can genuinely say it changed my expectations forevermore | |

Bear in mind B-sides were not a big deal then, so I had ingored them for a good while. When, in a moment or boredom, I finally flipped LGC, I was hit with a face full of funk. Much more of an impact that 17 Days was to WDC. That was the day I turned from a Prince fan to a Purple addict. . |

So...I grew up in the ghetto but was bussed to an all white high school. I was a 16 year old 10th grader in 1990, riding the bus home one day. I was pissed at the world, dont remember why i was pissed, but I was pissed that day. Anyhoo...I was staring out the window when i heard a girl on the radio sing, "It's been seven hours and fifteen days..." I perked up and said to myself, "What the fuck?!" As she continued singing, I damn near fell out of my seat. My friend Tara was sitting across from me, and we had both been Purpleheads since the 3rd grade...and as you all know, when Sinead dropped "Nothing Compares 2 U", only Prince fans "knew" that song. Tara and I screamed at everyone on the bus to "Shut up!" and sat there staring at each other with our mouths wide open, in absolute AWE. A moment I will never forget... Make it so, Number One... | |

Cool story! I think it's nice that you had someone to share your love of Prince with. 'Cause in my school (especially nowadays as he's more "underground") like no one knows about him. So whenever my friends ask me, "who's Prince?", I always start with, "well, he's an awesome underground artist...." lol because most of my friends are the rebellious-type. which I like, especially in women ”The people that will end up defining ‘Hate Speech Laws’ are the very people you don’t want to define the Hate Speech Laws” — Jordan B Peterson | |

My mind was blown with 17 Days when I flipped WDC. Ever since then, I always played the B-side first whenever I got a new single. __________________________________________________
