Do you find "P Connections" everywhere?

My adult kids swear that I make every conversation end up being connected to P, even when it has nothing to do with him.

"Mom, must ALL roads lead to Prince?" Um. Yes, yes they do! confused

I was watching The Founder with Michael Keaton, it's about how McDonald's became a huge corporation.

P connections:

#1. Michael Keaton played Batman and P did the soundtrack.

#2. When Ray Kroc was expanding McD's, in one scene they opened the first Minneapolis McD's and they're opening a second location...the guy suggests Hennepin and I immediately thought of P smelling McD's french fries.

What about y'all?

I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

Yes! In the fall I went on a biking trip out on Cape Cod. While cycling (and listening to P on my iPod) I passed Prince rd, Prince st, prince's court... On and on all weekend.

At Christmas time I stumbled across a wineglass that said, "All That Glitters," in gold glitter paint. I apologize to my fellow shoppers in TJ Max for the giggles...

A month or so ago, I was skiing at Mt Snow in Vermont, and there, in 3 foot high letters in the window of a ski shop, was the gigantic word, "G R I N D." Forget giggles, I laughed so hard people were probably wondering what was wrong with me. Totally worth it. :)

And I swear, at this moment I am in Vermont on a ski trip with friends, last name... Wait for it... Prince.

And the MUSIC continues...forever...

Are you saying that Prince worked for McDonalds and got fired for giving away food? I've never heard that he worked for McDonalds. I heard him say in an interview that at 16 he needed a job and looked in the phone book and couldn't find anything he wanted to do. That's when he decided to put all his energy into music.

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...

I got in the car yesterday with my 10 year old son and 'When Doves Cry' was the first thing we heard on the radio. I immediately snapped around and said, 'I had nothing to do with this!', to preempt a sarcastic comment from my son, who says I am always listening to Prince, which is true, but whatever. Then I said that this must be a sign from Prince that he is feeling the love...(When Doves Cry is one of my favorite Prince songs). So, yes, I am always on the lookout for the 'P Connection', lol

Nope, so obviously some of us aren't gettin' the joke.

Maybe this will help:

Lost my job at Mickie D's
4 giving away 2 much food 4 free
But I couldn't watch another black child go 2 school
With nothing to eat
7 of us then took 2 the streets
Raised by the music, fed by the beat
C-ing how long we could stay outta jail is how we'd
That's how we'd compete
We never owned the streets that we keep defending
So the $ we got we just end up spending
With nothing 2 save & not a thing 4 lending
U're never really happy
Just really good
At pretending
Everybody in the world wants 2 b a star
Few got what it takes 2 get that far
If a rocketship didn't cost more than a car
A brother might move
2 Marz

Every evening night when I look out of my living room window, I see the tall business building across the street bathed in purple lights. And on the cloudless nights when I witness the purple-fied building with the full moon in the background . . . HEAVENLY!

a book I read said Prince used to stand outside of Mcdonalds and just smell the food . It said he was so hungry and had no money. Maybe someone gave Prince some food for free and they got fired?

Tonight I was at Walmart and needed a calendar. I was deciding between one with cats and one with butterflies, I really liked the cat one. I turned them over to see the pictures, and on the butterfly one the prominent month was June, and the picture was a Queen butterfly - like a Monarch. I just said, " Okay, Prince, you win. I'll get the butterfly one. "

Everything you think is true

I almost didn't make this thread because when this sorta thing happens to me I think to myself that it's just me and my crazy fannishness, but seeing y'all having similar things happening makes me feel not so alone in my purple nuttiness.
