Prince has gone bonkers.

WTF?!

How completely bizarre!

I hope Prince is happy with his representatives. Those mods are beginning to make me despise him.

WTF is that gobbledygook supposed to mean? I reread it at least 5 times and still don't understand what thought or idea it's attempting to communicate. I must not be enlightened enough to comprehend their true meaning I guess because I'm so wicked and EEEVIL.

Those NPGMC mods must get into the holy wine when Prince isn't looking and then go post these incomprehensible messages.

The NPGMC 'music club' is turning into more of a joke every day. I'm waiting for the post announcing that Prince and the NPGMC are looking for a group of "true believers" (FAMS) to all move into a commune together where they will live in harmony and LOVE4ONEANOTHER, and the sad thing is there will be a bunch of em that would do it.

Dayum. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt, i.e., everyone has something of substance to say every once in a while, but this is truly disturbing. In other words, TRC is beyond criticism, and to do so is to give yourself up to a life of hell in the years to come, cause you didn't hear what someone else did. And to speculate on Prince's past mindset or future endeavors is folly, for which they provide the definitions. And they did this why? Are they saying that speculating on Prince's past of future makes one evil, wicked, lewd or foolish? Good Lawd. At this point, I don't even visit the NPGMC site anymore, and have never visited the chat rooms or boards, cause I predicted how it would be handled. Rejection of criticism period is a bit frightening. All I need to know is when something new is released, I buy it, and decide if it's good to my ears or not. Otherwise, ye be warned...if offered a pill or kool-aid at the next PP gathering, pass on it and get the fuck out.

This was their repsonse to a Dylan/Prince career comparison I made. Guess they only like the "I really like Princes new hair style" subjects.

Maybe someone should fire this Email off to the MN branch of the B.B.B. again. I mean come on; how is someone supposed to understand this purple-mumbo-jumbo??? This is the garbage that they sendout. SOMEONE PLEASE KIDNAP PRINCE FROM LARRY GRAHAM AND THE JW`s!!!

Now, see if *I* said skip the kool-aid all HELL would break loose, lol!! I feel really sad reading this cuz I JUST listened to the Gold Experience and thought "What happened to us, P, we used to be like this (V'd fingers between eyes)"

It is sad that he is so cocooned that the idea of feedback is is shunned. Ah well, he can't take my memories so neener neener neener to the Digital FishBowl or whatever it is...

Meanwhile on the other side of the world...


Has anyone heard the Foo Fighters version of Darling Nikki? The drums effin RIP!!!

Glad to be back, even if it was only to lament,

This wasn't an email..it was a added reply to a post.

Im just baffled that they took the original post as being negative etc.

da utter, bald-faced horror.

adorepfunk said:

aw man...s'pretty much like i figured: seems more and more like the club's only there for vanity purposes than for a place for p's fans/friends/freex/fams/whoever to go and support/pay homage to/give feedback to the cat.

mmm-mmm-mmm...lhmj...

Good thing there is the org. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to shut this down.

The word 'fan' is acceptable once more???

either that or the mod who typed that up didn't bother with the purple spell-checker before posting.

isnt he just saying here that TRC has helped people understand god more, im sure fans do go up to prince and say that sort of stuff. plus alot of people do need faith and without it may find the world a very hard place to dwell in!


Speculating on Prince's past mindset OR future endeavors has proved 2 b
folly 1 : lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight

ok!i dont really get this, is this about prince though, that was my first thought. its not good speculating about princes old mind because of a lack of good sense or foresight! however, even as i type this i shake my head at the thought of something like this on the npgmc!


2 a : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct b : obsolete : EVIL, WICKEDNESS; especially : lewd behavior

i thought this was about prince though, obsolete, ie prince of old is nothing to do mentally with prince of new, especially his lewd behaviour!

3 : a foolish act or idea ...4 the best of writers. Dylan, Prince or Mr. Greenjeans:

dont know about this, can you post your original quote on though? who is mr greenjeans?


ps dont think im an obsessive nut who defends everything he does, those were literally my first thoughts when reading it!

softandwet said:

He was a character on the old children's TV program, Captain Kangaroo. Mr. Greenjeans was Capt. Kangaroo's neighbor who would stop by to visit and bring over animals and things to show Capt. Kangaroo.

They called him Mr. Greenjeans because he always wore green farmer overalls.

I hope that at the next "fams" meeting with P someone will have the ball to open his/ her mouth

softandwet said:

sheesh...it ain't the bible

"the world in the comming years"??? hmm...maybe they're friends with Cleo

anyways, it's the NPMC, what do you expect? It's like the britney spears board, except it's grown folks postin', which makes it all the more pathetic
I am now certain that Prince has absoltely no idea what these moderators post, sure, he may not be the most logical/sane person on earth, but naw, that wouldn't come from him
He'd post one of those cryptic "can't we all just get along?" posts, not a "prince is god, "The Rainbow Children" is the bible" post, like those loonies would.
My guess is that these moderators are the ones who mailed their bootleggs to him, probably haven't had a significent other in ages, and spend every waking moment of their lives doing something related to prince. Ignore ignorence.
So don't hate prince because of this, because I truly believe he has no idea what's going on there.

wowza!

It's not Prince who's crazy, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's these crazy fans he has!

lovebizzare said:

I've often wondered what those PP mods' deal is but I think your assessment is spot on.

From the handful of times I've visted the chatroom and read comments they made, I concluded they are a bunch of young (like early 20s) people who for whatever reason, got hooked up with Prince's organization and now revel in being in their idol's inner circle and the reflected glory it gives them. I mean look at how some people over there are sooo kissassy to the mods whenever the moderators enter the chat!

They speak in Princebonix and never say anything that doesn't completely mirror Prince's thoughts and opinions and ideas. They are either automotons, obsessive fanatics themselves, or real good actors (and there have been those cuz I've heard of people working for Prince that give him lip service when they have to and then go and do whatever they want on their off-time, whehter Prince would approve of it or not)

Prince says he doesn't want to be idolized or worshipped, yet he hires these people that act as though he's their personal Lord and Savior.

I hope these current folks are enjoying their time in the spotlight because if Prince holds to his previous ways, they'll all be gone within 2 years at the most.

does anyone still go to that site ?

That discussion board is only for the hardcore.. I mean true hardcore..

stay away from that place.. its about as bad as listening to fans mimick Prince and The Time at soundchecks.. not to mention dress up like him..

I dont think prince has any idea how umm..."enthusiastic" these people are. I know people that know him, I've met and talked with him a few times myself, he isn't that stuck on himself, and he isn't that crazy.
He probably has no idea what goes on there. He probably has the naive assumption that everything is just flowers and candy there; everyone gets along, the moderators are spreading his idea of Love4oneanother.
those words would not come out of his mouth, trust me.

I may have overreacted or acted a fool in even posting this thread, but Im like damn...Ive rarely posted anything negative about the club here but this is not the first time this has happened. And that response was a trip. Nu already pointed out that TRC was advertised as "the controversial new album" etc. I know I act the nut role etc over there but its all in fun..and seems like some of them dont have a sense of humor..but when I write about Prince it is from the heart and no disrespect is ever intended and I would think folks would know that by now...why can't one have a sense of humor and be serious about the music? Im no one trick pony..instead it seems liek there is some deep seated grudge or whatever and it just turns me off that prince or the powers that be let some of these peopple and their remarks be repereseantative of him. It's just discouraging is all. The repsonse sounds like "get get a job and quit commenting on prince" which maybe has some truth..one thing for sure, I'll never get a namecheck lol.
