How many of you come here because of the music Prince is playing NOW.

In other words; make a choice.

THEN or NOW?

NOW

Cuz I know the THEN from memory.

Then and "then" for me being old prince-till 2000(i liked some of the high stuff)

Then, way back then.

StCloud said:

Well, just to be sarcastic - the music he's been playing now on tour is just rehashed sanitised music from THEN. Give me then, pretend TRC never happened and bring on the NEXT.

I like the majority of his stuff from Dirty Mind through to The Truth. He's been pretty lame ever since, imo.

Co-signed.You're not sarcastic, just realistic.

the NOW

4 me I can't make a choice. Its Then and Now. I love them both and accepts them both. He wouldn't be where he is today without the Then.

nitab said:

Correct. I like your answer. Indeed THEN is the road to NOW.

And about NEXT, who knows?

A litle bit then, A little bit of now, every now and then

Has to be THEN and the THEN being pre Batman

hmmm...now and then !

if you were there then you should be here NOW !!!

Without THEN there is no NOW.

But I would not be still here if I didn't like NOW as well as THEN.

.

then.

Well both really cuz Im an all round Prince fan. Not literally of cause!

The frightening thing was when I clicked on this thread I had 2 double take. I thought U wrote 'How many of U come here becuz of the song 'NOW'?

And if then is now the past would irrevocably be present.
And if the past is present and then is now, then the past is future and the future past.
And we all exist in the everlasting now.
Which is neither pastor present for it has no then and now.
Peace. Eat your greens.

If it were not for the path that we took THEN,
we would not be where we are NOW.

BorisFishpaw said:

Damn those crossroads.

I like now and then every now and then.

Maybe Prince should record a new track called "Then".
Then 'THEN' would be NOW, whereas 'NOW' was of
course recorded THEN.

Maybe.

I feel the decent of a padlock, the tightening of resolve, the click of steel on steel.
Do yo thing, Handclaps.

Yes but eventually "Then" would become then too and then we'd have no now. Now, what would we do then?

Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like it when I'm angry.

THEN must be everything before NEWS, which is NOW. If thats the case, THEN wins hands down!

Anyone here because NEWS is the greatest yet?

PEACE,
I'm here 4 NOW because I feel like he's doing some of his best work in years. Of coarse I love THEN as well, but we're all living in the NOW. We'll never get '84 back so get on with the NEW experience.

Yeah, exactly how old is 'THEN' and how new is 'NOW'.
I suspect it's an unfair fight!
