Strange...NEWS has been available for a while, and I've made no attempt to buy it.

I didn't even consider buying the new DVD, EVEN BEFORE I KNEW HOW SHITTY THE QUALITY WAS!

I've never cared about the NPGMC.

I've stopped hoping that he'll play at the Park, so my wife can see him.

It's been ages since I've listened to a Prince CD (I recently went on a road trip to the Black Hills, and didn't pack a single Prince CD out of like 50-some discs!).

His old stuff doesn't move me like it used to.

I rarely visit the .Org anymore.

I have NO idea what's even going in the Prince world. He could be touring right now, and I couldn't tell you.

I don't defend him any longer when people criticize him.

And so on.



I think I just don't like Prince anymore. Maybe it will last forever? After all, there was a time when I thought that Black Sabbath ruled the universe...but then I grew up. Maybe I've grown out of Prince?

Was it the religious tilt?

The boring instrumentals?

The jenky NPGMC?

The lack of Paisley gigs?

What happened?

And will I come back? What could make that happen? Remasters? A vault box set? Prince saying he was just kidding about "all that shit these last 8 years or so," and getting nasty again?

I'm sure some psycho 'fams' will have some terrific "If you don't want to lick his purple man-fur, then just leave!" responses. But I'm interested in hearing from real, thinking humans.

Because I typed that long message when I could've just said, "Prince sucks the sweaty juice from a dead ape's anal column these days, doesn't he?"

I'm sad because I once got so much enjoyment from his music, and had a lot of passion for it. That "spark" (barf) is missing now, and I've only recently fully realized it.

And yet, you bother to come here...isn't that ironic!!

I haven't bought it either. That doesn't mean anything

Me neither

I've stopped hoping that he'll play at the Park, so my wife can see him.

whatver about the quality of his music, he's still the greatest live act in the world

It's been ages since I've listened to a Prince CD (I recently went on a road trip to the Black Hills, and didn't pack a single Prince CD out of like 50-some discs!).

this i can't understand. maybe you overdosed on him

His old stuff doesn't move me like it used to.

take a break from it

I rarely visit the .Org anymore.

there's not much going on at the moment

I have NO idea what's even going in the Prince world. He could be touring right now, and I couldn't tell you.

not a lot

I don't defend him any longer when people criticize him.

it's pointless

And so on.

i think you'll get back into him. you're hardly going to re-evaluate the musical genius of sabbath 20 years later

Was it the religious tilt?

possibly

The boring instrumentals?
probably

The jenky NPGMC?
Definitely

The lack of Paisley gigs?

What happened?

And will I come back? What could make that happen? Remasters? A vault box set? Prince saying he was just kidding about "all that shit these last 8 years or so," and getting nasty again?
hahahhaha

it's understandable enough. prince is just not the same artist. you will get back into the old stuff for sentimental reasons, and 4 it's artistic value. you will always have a vague interest in what your old friend is doing - it's not your fault if he's doing nothin!

I can really relate, it is pretty much the same for me (and for some of my friends who are/were Prince fans as well)! It's always kinda sad when you have to say good-bye to something that has had a real impact in your life or to realize that you may already have said good-bye without even realizing it. It shows us that time is passing by and that we loose interests, friends whatever on the journey of our life. There was a time when Prince's music added something to the sountrack of your life, but you have moved to a different direction or the directions he has taken just don't match with yours. So every now and then you might have your moments of nostalgia and maybe some day you will get something out of his music again, but only time will tell if that will happen or not.

What do people get out of coming to a Prince fan site and writing a dissertation on why and how much they dont like Prince? I dont understand why someone would do that. I dont like Justin Timberlake or most hip hop artists so it never dawns on me to go to their site repeatedly and express my contempt.

Even if I used to like Prince, I would simply take my old Prince material and move on to other srtists. That seems much more meaningful and productive

And yet, you bother to come here...isn't that ironic!!

Bohhoohhooohooo poor you. Poor little boy. Snifff boohoohoohooo.

You don't even realize how pathetic it is to come here to say you are fed up with Prince. Why do you take the time to come here on Prince.org uh ?!!!

Anyone who spends too much time on an artist must be fed up at some stage. It makes sense.

I've got my Bowie periods. It lasts for several months. I cannot listen to something else. And then I 'm so fed up with him that I move on to new artist. It works like a cycle.

Move on. Find out what is good out there in terms of creativity, musicianship (hehe good luck !!!).

I think King Sausage also had a point with "maybe it's just the anal audiophile in me..." line, cos I am kind of the same when it comes to listening to the old 80's mastered CDs. Is very hard to listen to them if you are a person who invests a lot of money into top end hi-fi equipment. Have to dig that vinyl out everytime!

There is a changing point in all our lives, embrace it and find what inspires you in your current days. Chris, I have actually realized a bit from myself, I just took a trip to Cali and I did not once play Prince, the shock the horror. Right now, I am in a position of transition and tend to listen to music that holds some personal meaning, personal views I see in my life. For me, Prince music will always add that special ingredient... if not his current stuff, definitely the good ol' days back when. I haven't even bought NEWS either, although any visual of Prince (musically) is a must... no matter what type of music he creates/demonstrates.

Beautiful Day

So Lamont why do you come to this Prince site when nobody here respects your opinions or thinks you having anything intelligent, relevant, or meaningful to say?

And will I come back? What could make that happen? Remasters? A vault box set? Prince saying he was just kidding about "all that shit these last 8 years or so," and getting nasty again?

He's definitely faded for me...but I think in my youth I elevated him to Jesus-like status, and in my adulthood I simply couldn't continue along that line of thinking.

I do, however, expect great things from him yet.
