Well for me i became a Prince fan last year at age 14.. I saw a segment of When Doves Cry on VH1 and ever since then I have been a Prince fanatic!! What about you guys?...

Well, shortly after I came to Earth, I met him. This was around the time of the Dirty Mind tour, and I gave him some fashion tips. I said "darling... thigh highs and panties... think about it!"

It seemed to work out for him!

Click on Extras, in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Click "your org profile," then "Edit your profile," then "Forum Settings." You want to add an avatar. It has to be a picture from the Web.

I think it would work for you too, Scrumptious. Think about it.

Although I think in your particular case a bra would be advisable, as open trench coats do not provide much support.

i really don't remember since i was so young. it seems like i've always been listening to him. i have a very vague memory of not listening to him but most of my life i've been following him. i would guess, though, that an older sibling or my mom or dad got me into him.

1981

opps i 4got the why bit...

better music than what was about, just caught my ear

or is that too simple 4 u ppl who seem to analize everything...???

Back in 1983, saw the "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" videos -- thought he was REEEALLL cool, and wanted to be like him. (Back then, in my town, people were still like, "Prince who?"). Got the 1999 album for Christmas. Wow! Nothing else like it. Was hooked for good. I was 13.

After watching the Purple Rain videoclip (long version) and the Syracuse show live on german television in the middle of the night.

YEAH, exactly! 03-30-1985 via satellite, those were the magical words: "Hello Syracuse & the world, my name is prince..."
18 years and 137 days later...is now
THANK U PRINCE 4 ALL YOUR GREAT MUSIC

I'm with the Syracuse live transmission. Actually, I DID trip on the When Doves Cry single prior to that, but it wasn't until I saw Prince and the Revolution in action that I became seriously hooked. That show was just electrifying. I thought Wendy was really cool, too. Why, I even liked the preceeding bit with Sheila E. performing The Glamorous Life. It's a pity the warm-up act wasn't included on the VHS release considering that it's all Prince music anyway. I'd love to have the Sheila E. performance on video as well.
One of the things that seemed attractive to the whole Prince thing back then was the whole family aspect to it. Ironic then, to read years later that the happy family was actually dysfunctional...
Oh, well... That was a good time to be a fan. A GOOD Prince album every year, lotsa acts from his label and 12" single releases. Sigh... Here I go again, becoming all sentimental.
Why DID my Prince leave me? But at least the music he did then will last a lifetime. And it was all good. There never was even a single track I did not like - until Emancipation with its Sex In The Summer, La, La, La, Means I Love U etc. - eeew!
