So-called hardcore or obsessed fans only.
What’s the longest period of time you managed not to listen to any Prince record. When? And why?
126 days, in the Andes, back in 1998-1999 . Couldn’t repeat the exploit nowadays, though!
More recently, when I finally got GirlBros , it stayed on heavy rotation for... five days.

I have no idea when :O but I've gone a month before, maybe 2. Doesn't happen often

I can't for long ! if the music is not on, I start to sing it myself !!

The longest has been about 6 months, back in 1997. I don't
want to explain why.


No, I was not in jail at the time, but thank you for asking

i am hardly listening 2 prince right now.
mostly rock & rnb stuff by others. (& my 80s stuff)

Quite a long time these days.

How times have changed!

2 min.
MAX!

umm...a while.

Several
Months
i
guess

A day or two at a time, max.

i was on a 4 day crusie a few years ago and i forgot my cd player. I couldn't stand it! I listened to P for like 5 hours when i got home b4 I felt better. But lately, I haven't been listening 2 much. I'm rockin out 2 Parade right now though!

Back in 1998, 30 days Himalaya trek, Nepali hits every evening under the tent

I dont know really.. but not for long though!! I dont even wanna try to live without it.. or see how long it would last!! I think I can with a couple of hours.. 8hours or something, not more..

Hmmm, not long. I rarely go a day without listening to Prince.

I went to St. John for ten days last year without a CD player (there was no electricity, it was beautiful) but ended up singing Prince songs and writing the lyrics to myself. Is that hardcore or obsessed...? hmmm...

Prince fans crack me up (me included ). To anyone else, I'd be deemed a completely obsessed fan of Prince. But here on the Org the rules are totally different. I'm probably barely Hardcore! perish the thought

Example:
I'm considered a fan of Stevie Wonder's; I own several CDs by him, thoroughly enjoy his music and sing along when he comes on the radio. But we don't consider you a Prince fan unless you own a stack of his CDs the size of a small child, in addition to spending copious amounts of time and money in pursuit of elusive, illegal recordings. Mmmm...illegal recorrrdingggs... Plus stuff like sitting through movies such as "Graffiti Bridge!" Whew. We are an elite group.

The few. The proud. The Org.

gee maybe a whole week.

Your sig should read "Phoenixxx is on crack." Or used ta be. I mean, I'm just assuming that's the only way you got through a year without Prince.

Me, too. It was after that stupid ass Oprah interview.

About 2 months. Only because I wasn't allowed to listen to any music because I was banged up

From 92 to 94 I didn't listen to his music at all. I hated the symbol album and I just got sick of all his shit. I was all into grunge in the early 90s and P's music just didn't fit into that.

I got back into him when a friend gave me a tape with all the Gold songs on it (before it came out) and it blew me away! Shortly after I found The Jewel Box at a indie record store and after hearing that kinda re-discovered him. Since then I rarely go week with out hearing something from the little man.

I went for about 2 months the most once. Then i played a couple of his cds to refresh my memory.

Going on almost 2 months. I've been in a Purple Haze w/ Jimi Hendrix.
