Damn you just about listed song for song the track listing of my "Best of" collection I burned last year. Take off "Sister", "Annie C" and "Ronnie TTR" Then add "DMSR" and "Do IT All Night" "She's Always In My Hair" and you got my track list. Yea I dug "that guy" too. Whatever did happen to him?

I don't know but I wanna recapture my youth..."who needs $ when you've got Youth"

He moved on to explore other things, instead of becoming nothing but a nostalgic parody. Maybe one day others will too.

Bah! I know THat guy became the guy who did Madhouse, Bob George, Cyrstal Ball, Parade, yadda, yadda!

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GUY!!!

What the matter MiaBocca?, You no longer likey new Princy music?. Be thankful for what it is, not unthankful for what it isn't.

phuc the rest of ya'll...what the hotphuckinhell happened 2 the brotha???

Right.

I'm happy he made GCS2000, it was so much better than The Family, Jill Jones or Shiela E.

MiaBocca said:

Some of it's maturity

MiaBocca said:

Its that good eh?

I'm not necessarily saying he should *sound* like he did, but I would like to think he would instill the same passion in others as he did before.

Maybe I'm asking too much, all artists lose it along the way.

At least I loved TRC & Xpectation.

that Cat back then was Hungry,Fearless&Had a Helluva Supporting Cast of People Around Him that Truly Challenged Him IMHO.

yeah, but still...what the phuc went on??

I dont know but all I know is I don't need to hear Prince start making more songs about prostitutes, fast and easy women, overly forced explicit sex acts etc just like I dont need to see Mick Jagger singing about being evil incarnate or U2 singing about saving the world etc anymore.

things do get old...Prince's music has not, and the reason is because his interests keep evolving and changing. Not always to everyone's liking, but always to his liking. That, my friends, is the sign of a real artist.

MiaBocca said:

He got old I guess, but I challenge you to find an artist who really kept his original power and meaning throughout the length of his career.

What happened is that you are listenin' to songs that are at least 20 YEARS OLD!!! Not theat they don't still funk, but Prince don't live there anymore-do U?

MiaBocca said:

Well, what are you complaining about then? I for one like the musician side of Prince more than his controverial image

MiaBocca said:

???


what is better on gcs2000 than the family, jj, or sheila?
NOT DISSIN YOU, just wanna know what it is you're hearing that i'm not. i thought gcs2000 totally sucked. boring as shit man!

MiaBocca said:

by the way, i'm goin home to make that disc today.
you nailed it!

Some of you get way too defensive if anyone says a word against the lil' man.

IAM said:

I was being sarcastic

MiaBocca said:

i'm sayin...folks, calm down...

rdhull said:

I certainly agree.
It's not like you can't whip all those songs out whenever you "need"
(if that's what you need); but now you can just keep adding new and different sounds.
A baby is so cute and cuddly and you love it's first "da da" but
if he's still doing that at 5 years old, you got a real problem.
Everybody grows...Prince has gotten older and better IMHO.

I was just watching the best live version of Darlin' Nikki I have ever seen and tho' there are those who don't agree with me, I really miss the grindin'. Yes, yes, I can accept that he has matured but I really miss the nasty Prince.
