I know these types of topics have been done over and over! But I really miss "The Kid". I popped Sign O' The Times Live into the ol' VCR last night and just sat there in awe. For someone who's been by his side since 1981, the future is no longer bright...

"Bring Back The Kid"!

I do miss the dancing at the gigs. Time gets us all though. Let's face it - Prince matures like any other human. He moves on in life. He is not 21 anymore - mentally or physically. Thus we will miss some of the splits, jumping off speakers and pianos, profanity,m the scantily clad babes, some of the sex, etc. However, the work is as good as its ever been. He is stretching out and reaching new levels that he could not have when he was younger and on top pf the charts. We have the time tested classics with the new inspired work of a wiser and more learned musical genius. The retrospective of his career is breathtaking - not just for longevity but for the consistent accomplishment and daring innovation.

My first inclination is not to use the word "miss". When you are young, you never think that you will get old. But if you are fortnate, that day will come. The grace and style with which you meet it makes the difference. From the modest beginnings of For You through the dazzling heights of Purple Rain to the mastery of The Rainbow Children, the ride has been like no other that I can recall. I dont look back with any despair - the best is today and it is only getting better.

LoveMachine, ditto. I could have wrote your post on the jams at PP. My feelings exactly. I remember walking out of there the first time I went to PP and the sun coming up after such a great experience. I still hope for these days to return.

I guess I miss just about everything that stopped when he became a JW. I miss his voice. Maybe he doesn't have one anymore. that would be the day.

as for what i miss about ol' boy...heck, i've missed most of the good stuff due to my age. seems like the best time to be a prince fan/friend/freek/fam/whatever wuz back when i wuz still in my infancy. things seemed so cool back then.

it's so odd, cuz i started gettin into p durin a bittersweet time...

Without a doubt... His dancing!

I just miss the Revolution. They were arguably the best band P's worked with. And I very much dougt that they'll reunite. But the R&R Hall of Fame is around the corner. Let's cross our fingers.

Just about any version of the NPG kicks the Revolutions ass, IMO. And don't hold your breath since the Revolution wouldn't be eligible to get in, just Prince.

Anyway, mixed feelings about this one. The dancing, wild-ass Prince was fun to watch, but when I see MJ still trotting out the same ass moves as he did 20 years ago it's kinda sad. Considering his gift for turning out amazing pop/funk, it'd be nice to see Prince head in that direction again.

I don't know if you have, but if you get to see him live, especially at an aftershow, you can still see alot of that. At least I did.

I miss hearing a Prince song for the first time on radio. Back then, I usually learned of a new song when I heard it on radio. That was exciting.

Naw that's no excuse (I love Austin). You know you could've made the trip Houston or Dallas. Just a couple of hours either way.
