A couple of years ago my dad was in a pub quiz with a few of his work mates and the question "who wrote the hit album Purple Rain?" came up. He said to his mates "This is easy, my son has been a fan of his for longer than I can remember"..... "It was Sting". |

Just hilarious when people post Hall of Fame or the Muppets show to my timeline and say...did you see THIS? Yes, I saw it years ago, you missed out, too bad for you. | |

Thanks KS for this thread and trying to keep things light around here...yes it has been so hard and not getting easier....ugh. So thrilled to have each other on the org.
In regards to the misquotes and the barrage of wrong facts it's amusing for me in the end. At least they all have come around and are all stating how much of a genius he was. I almost took the time to correct all the mistakes made by Kevin Smiths YT tribute but there were so many it would have taken a long time! Let's all just be grateful he is being remembered for the most important thing...making amazing music and touching souls around the world...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED [Edited 5/3/16 6:33am] The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

You're right; it's not getting better. Today I asked a friend how she knew how much I loved Prince because I didn't really talk about him that much. She told me "whenever you did talk about him, your eyes lit up." Just typing this now makes me have to fight back tears. A battle I just lost. I miss him so much. Join me under the waterfall

Someone I considered a potential friend (at least until today) who doesn't know I am a Prince fan (yet) actually said to me, as the conversation went towards the topic of Prince's death, and before I could even say anyting "Oh I never like him anyway!" and laughed. Well I guess that's about how far our friendship will go then. Some people. Life Matters | |

I am a "non hardcore fan". However, I was not blind to what a musical genius Prince was. I have always respected and admired his talent. I agree 100% with every superlative that's been used to describe him. Does that mean I liked all of his music? No. It wasn't always my cup of tea. I loved his spirituality. His mystique. His charm. His showmanship. His avoidance of all things "celebrity" and maintaining his roots to Minnesota. I love that he was shy and got nervous like regular people. I loved his humanitarian efforts. I love that he gave more than he took. I wasn't not a hardcore fan, I was just a friend he never knew. please excuse me if I say or ask something you find funny. | |

Someone on my Facebook: "I'm so sad about Prince. I've always been a fan, not just of Purple Rain, I even have the rare stuff like Sign O The Times." A real conversation I had with a colleague: Them: "Prince? Isn't he some dude from the 50's?" Me: "No, he's from the 80s. You must have heard of him. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World? Purple Rain? The Artist Formerly Known As Prince?" Them: "Is he like Elvis?" Me: "Hmmmm.... yeah, a lot of people get them confused actually." |

My favorite is the amount of people that I have met before all of a sudden on social media with things like "R.I.P. my Prince." BITCH you don't know any other song besides Purple Rain and the last thing you need to be doing is calling him YOUR Prince. It's like its now a popular thing to like Prince because he is elsewhere (I can't say dead, or gone... yet) now so it's a trend or something, makes me so mad. | |

A coworker wandered over to my cube the other day to inform me that Prince's bass player was some guy from Sly and the Family Stone. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Kevin Smith showed how wrong he was for dumping on Prince in the old punk ass YouTube video and how much he did not know about Prince. Save America - Stop Illegal Immigration. God bless America. PEACE | |

A little different from these examples, but I just saw the Pitchfork review of the new Egyptian Lover compilation refer to D.M.S.R as standing for Dirty Music Sex Romance. Like, okay whatever ultimately I don't care that much, but if you make such a basic error about a dancefloor classics like D.M.S.R then what does that say about your qualifications for reviewing classic early 80s electro?
Edit: Actually tbf the article happened to come up in my Twitter feed and looking at the writer's profile seems like they're actually a pretty large fan who lives in Minneapolis so on second thoughts it's probably just a small typo/mistake, I guess I was being excessively bitchy there [Edited 5/4/16 7:55am] Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

I've been a huge fan for more than 10 years and still feel like a newbie, since I missed his heyday and everything. | |

i can attest to the fact that kevin played BATDANCE at his prom-themed 40th birthday party and it's fucking near impossible to dance to. | |

LOL, many Prince songs sound like you can dance to them, BUT they are actually very hard to dance to. Try dancing to Let's Go Crazy. LOL We are all so full of  here | |

FUNKNROLL said: Stump the newbs! When they profess their newfound fandom - ask them their favorite Lovesexy track.
When they say Alphabet Street ring the buzzer and remind them the whole CD was a SINGLE TRACK.
Then congratulate yourself for feeling smug

I don't know about yall,
but I am reading all stuff online about the doctor, who made the call 911, and it's really pissing me off now, a day late and a dollar short.
This all seems far too unreal, you wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It's like it was all so damn avoidable, IF it turns out to be true.
How incredibly sad; just pisses me off. We are all so full of here | |
