I think people panned Tony because of Jughead. not a good song. I play D&P from front to back and its the only song I skip.

In my 30 something years of being a Prince fan I only saw him once sadly on the Musicology tour in Oklahoma City. I had tickets to the PR tour but as a teen family things happened and I couldnt go. I still have my Musicology tickets stubs in a book. It was even more special because my 10 year old son went with me and we had a great time. Wouldnt trade that one time for anything

i'm a musician and broke most of the time, i'm a musician because of Prince so, no, in general. I've seen him twice and would have seen him more if i had the chance. I don't know, and it really isn't my business, where people get the money to fly everywhere and follow a guy around to see hundreds of concerts, but I don't even come close to having it. I do wish i could have been to paisley park and of course I'd have loved to meet him.

As a nurse I do ok financially but Ive never had it like that to follow Prince around even though I wanted too thats why I kept asking him to come to Texas but he never would If they turn PP into a museum Im going before I leave this earth...I made myself a promise that I will make the trip.

I was too young to go to his concerts in the 80s lol.. I would have wished to be 10 years older so I could have gone lol... I didn't get a chance to see him because he died before I could get to see him for the last tour he did. The rest of times I always seemed to be in the wrong country or city when he was near me. Bad timing ... .. but I don't feel like less of a fan... his career started and ended just before my birthday in both instances so .. April has special significance for me...

"Too young in the 80's" Stoppit throwing shade at us 40 year olds

I certainly don't. I've long discussions about Prince, his output, his mindset during different eras. The mistakes I think he made, and the successes and right moves. I've played his music for countless people.

And when he died, I got the usual barage of messages from friends. But then I got this one, from a girl I've probably not seen since high school (and I graduated the year Parade came out).

It is strange the things we remember sometimes… When my sister messaged me this morning and said she had heard that Prince had died, I immediately Googled it and it was so early, there wasn’t even reliable news stories published yet.

I sat there for about 30 seconds and thought it can’t be …

Then I was quickly taken back to US Grant… I believe our Senior year. It was Mrs. Fuller’s English class. We sat over by the wall. I remember how much you loved Prince. You spoke about him and his music nearly everyday.

When I finally heard that indeed it was true, Prince had died, I knew how completely devastated you would be.

All this to say, my thoughts are with you

So no, I dont feel like less of a fan. If people saw that in me back then, then I know I'm doing just fine paying respect through the years.

Hell I was 12 when PR came out just a baby

I have always been a prince fan but i get jealous when folks on here mention their cool prince stories. I would have loved to be a groupie during Prince's heyday but I was only 24 hours old when the name change got announced. I never got a chance to dance at glam slam and I do a mean funky chicken. I never got a chance to go to a prince concert. I never even went to those famous late night parties at PP. I dont even have a copy of "goldnigga". I dont even know why people on here hate Tony M. I feel like my lack of stuff makes me seem like less of a prince fan. Does anyone else feel like me? Do you feel like less of a fan cause you were not in the thick of it all?

Hell No!

No. I had no interest in seeing certain tours. And after downloading boots from those tours, I'm perfectly fine with my decision.

He got plenty of money from me. That, I also have no regrets over. Except maybe 1999 The New Master.

Does Prince think we are less of a fan if we didn't see him live? Nope!

Well, as many shows as I went to I never got to meet the dude just enjoy him now, you'll have fun catching up on all the stuff you missed & in retrospect I'm kinda glad I was too young to see the early tours - I may not be right in the head to this day especially Parade - he was just too fuckin' sexy, I might have turned into that bitch that lurked around PP just STUCK on him in an unhealthy way

OMG, so true. On the other hand...

"Why the hell are all these random children taking taxis and planes here? What are their parents doing? I do ONE kid's song...."

Disagree.

This sounds like alot of excuses.

Too poor.

Too busy.

Too far.

Too many responsibilities. Come On.

Its ridiculous and really weak.

It actually IS a different kind of love and drive that gets you there and takes you back at all costs, in my opinon. (Unless you are deployed, for example, but even that wouldn't be constant.)

man i hope you're kidding. what you want me to do go rip people off just to follow prince around. like i said, you're guy's money situation is not my business but I look at other people and it just boggles my mind how they can be so lazy and unprofessional and still skate through life with abundance. I have to fight and sweat and work my ass off for every dollar so I don't understand how some people just have such entitled and spoiled lives. One thing I don't do, is beat myself up over not being like that, that's just fucking foolish and a skewed view of priorities. I try to be a good person, leave motherfuckers alone and be kind to my friends. I don't worry about the rich folk no more.

"I was an actual child."

StopIt: "Didn't you know how to fake ids & commit credit card fraud and hitch gypsy cabs to the next state?. You are not a a super fan! If Macaulay Culkin could do it in Home Alone and fend off a home invasion you could make to a Prince concert!"
