'he told me 1 day when i was in the studio with him afterhours that he would give it all up 2 go follow god..."

i was 1 of the 4tunate ppl in some respects. ive almost kinda lived the princefan dream. i got in2 his music in 85/85 whilst at school, and skipped school 2 buy sott on the day of release. listening 2 that album i wanted 2 meet the man, go 2 his studio and c his life. i always thought it would b impossible, so many much bigger fans than me all over the world.

a few years later his fanbase declined and i was front row at all his shows, invited 2 his tv appearances, invited onstage with him, invited 2 sing with him, 2 dance with him, i got 2 visit the studio, i got 2 sit in the very room where so many songs were recorded, sit there with prince and his wife and his producers and the time, sit at the soundesk where everything was mixed, sit on the very chair he sits on when he records all his vocals. i was invited 2 watch him rehearse at his studio. it got 2 the stage where he and his staff knew me. a far cry from listening 2 purple rain on my walkman after school. i got 2 play on the drum machine he used 2 record all these tracks, checkout his guitars and instruments. and it happened again and again. i got in with his top ranking staff so high.

but the thing is, he is just like u n me and every1 else. just a person. he is like the next guy u meet on the street. an individual. a person. only he made a bit more of his life. but he aint a god or anything like that and he knows it. he told me 1 day when i was in the studio with him afterhours that he would give it all up 2 go follow god. a bold statement, especially coming from a rich man who used 2 talk about dance music sex romance.

Funniest thing...Prince always followed God...he just always reflected the deepest parts of the human spirit...love...sex...sadness..and pain...there was never anything wrong with him...until someone told him something was wrong with him...and he believed them disbelief

Oh yeah

Anji...where the hell do U find these little letters of yours? lol

I was just thinkin that

you know though, this could've been written by ANYONE who's a NPMCG member, been to a celebration and taken through the studio...it just has a spin to make it seem personal...

cause really, all NPGMC members were "invited' to concerts and the Tonite Show appearances. Every show these days people are 'invited' on-stage etc...

Not to say it hasn't been awesome to experience these things, but DAMN this person makes it sounds like they're best friends or something

fams frighten me

and as for the comment p supposedly made about givin up the biz to follow god one day...this is prince. the brotha's notorious for changin his mind at the drop of a dime. what he sez he's gonna do at any given time could be invalid within moments.

Prince is a human man like many of us. And like most male humans he has a dick. This chick is claiming to have all access to Prince the human male so it makes sense to ask that question. The writer is eager to present Prince as being no different from the rest of us. Well most males will say anything to get laid.

Does anyone really need to know who wrote it? The message is the point. It's genuine. If you're too cynical to see it, that's your loss.

ummm, so then why hasn't he?

"given it all up to follow god" I mean

if it's such a genuine statement, why hasn't he done just that?

Sorry. What I meant to say was that the note above is genuine. As for Prince's convictions, my guess is as good as yours.

I SMELL A RAT.











WHY ALL THE MYSTERY.













IT COULD BE MADE UP FOR ALL I KNOW.









IT NEEDS TO BE SUBSTANTIATED SOMEHOW.









OTHERWISE PEOPLE MIGHT THINK YOU JUST WROTE THIS AND IT'S ALL MADE UP?

Nothing needs to be substantiated. It doesn't bother me if you, or anyone else for that matter, can't believe the note.

Ah thank you, CocoSweet. I'm glad you can see this note for what it is. Actually, the person who wrote it (a friend of Dansa's, no less) was concerned about me when he sent it. Regardless, I was hoping for a discussion on the contents of the note, rather than its validity. I guess under the current climate, many fans aren't buying into Prince anymore. I think that's a shame.

Oh lawd...that's so beyond ridiculous I can't even stand it.

If I post on here that Prince told me he'd give it all up just to get fucked in the ass by my big Italian cock, don't you think I would need to substantiate that in order for anyone to care?

And he DID say that, just the other week!
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Blue, I think you are being unreasonable. There are reasons for confidentiality that I can't go into. Anyway, I didn't mean to offend anyone by posting this. If you'd rather not enjoy the note for what it is, a genuine personal experience, then I can't help you with names etc.

If you wanted the note discussed for its content then you might have included a note of your own. Instead you present a note with no explanation at all & then act surprised that the reaction is not what you wanted. All you needed was to explain how you got the note & a little background & throw in your own feelings & thoughts.
But as we've seen before thats not your style.
