Jedi Nation Prince Tribute Question 4 Fans

Hello Again Guys.

We are preparing a tribute show for you the fans, by the fans and I have two questions I'd like to ask of you

We are preparing a Top Ten List and it goes like this..

"Top Ten Things Princes Fans Had 2 Take Crap About Over His Career from Non-Prince Fans?"

Like the name change, etc

and if you would like a song played during the show, this is the place to request it.

Thank you

DJ Jedi

The two main things i was teased about Prince , this was in my teens. Not now as a adult i would deck them.

1. Is he gay.

2. why does he wear heels.

1. Is he gay?
2. Why'd he change his name 2 a squiggle?

3. Is he really that short? You'd have to stand real close to the stage, otherwise you won't see him!
4. He's just a Jimi Hendrix ripoff.

Top irritant from non-fans would have been, "Is he still making music? I thought he'd retired?"

And I'd like to hear My Love Is Forever. Just because it was on the first album, and it's my favourite track on the first album.

Questions I was most asked when people realized I was a fan:

1. Why is he so private/protective of his stuff??
2. He still makes music???


Song:
She's Always In My Hair


Thanks!

Crap from non-fans?

Has to be divided into era: pre-PURPLE RAIN and post-PURPLE RAIN.

.

Pre-PURPLE RAIN

Homophobic and racist insults hurled because Prince being black and perceived as gay.

His music was viewed as disco and of course the big phrase back then was "Disco sucks!"

.

Post-PURPLE RAIN

Honestly post-PURPLE RAIN no one took crap for being a Prince fan. Yes, years later you would hear, "He's still making records?"

I still got the "he's gay" thing even while he was married to Mayte.

And play La La La He He Hee, the full version.

Haha that's not true! Those butt-less pants and the Gett Off video/ awards sure made for lots of snide comments.

1. Prince is just a skinny gay guy who wears heels and sings as high as a woman.

2. His music is evil, all he sings about is sex (from my overly relgious christian sister)

Somewhere here on earth.....

Thanks Jedi Nation.

Okay, I'll give a real answer. I got sick of people saying he was just a pop star and giving me shit for being so into a pop star.

Two most frequent things said to me:

(1) Is he still alive (this was said after I brought tickets to the Sydney Opera House)

(2) he is weird as he is so short like a jockey (I used to say best things come in small packages - just think of Tiffany jewellery!)

Songs? Nothing Compares 2 U was always a favourite, but it is too painful now -

I will let others choose.............

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

I would love to hear For You...First song, first album and the one that made me a fan.

Questions - Isn't he gay? Is he really that great of a musician?

Because of their half-baked mistakes, we get ice cream, no cake; all lies, no truth; is it fair to Kill the YOUTH ~~ Party Up

Thanks for doing this show!
Questions
What has he really done since Purple Rain (my response was a very sarcastic...Are you serious do you live under a rock?)
Prince hasn't had a radio hit since KISS has he?

Please play STILL WOULD STAND ALL TIME
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.
