I'm just asking...Sometimes it seems to me that Prince has always had a "geeky" quality...

Ever since he started wearing high heels maybe?

DaFunkFreak said:

No man that was the cool shit!

Abrazo said:

its the bucked teeth...and the coy look in his eye...

That's it!!! I love this thread! (Does that make me a nerd?)

Abrazo said:

Like when he writes a song about 'My Computer', or 'Emale'

and the SOTT glasses...

DaFunkFreak said:

Yes and that tie Prince is wearing in your avatar.

I'm sure it's leather.

Sly said:

And 'Computer Blue' and 'Something in the water does not compute'. Prince is really a computernerd!

DaFunkFreak said:

a leather tie, even worse!

I love this thread too.

Abrazo said:

lol! can't believe i forgot those!

Sly said:

that's becasue those are actually cool songs.

In all seriousness though i have always thought of him as being alittle geeky (uncool).
Despite the fact that he can also be the coolest man on the planet at times.

Hear me out!

Cool-
The music
The attitude
The way he says fuck
His clothes
His screaming
Never conforming

Uncool;
Going around suing everybody
His current refusal to swear.
Appearing to be uncomfortable on shows like Letterman etc when he must clearly know that he has more talent than these idiots will ever have.
This current bible bashing shit. Whatever your opinon, you can't deny that religion and rock&roll don't mix .

Abrazo said:

True.

I think it's as soon as he started recording songs about email, computers, and internet lovers - that's when he became a geek. That's really sad, and I make a point of not listening to those songs, they make me feel ill.

Look at the lyrics of my computer:

"I scan my computer, looking 4 a site"

Nope, he's not the new nerd. he's just lost in life, and tries to find whatever we are all looking for i guess..
But i don't believe in believing. it doesn't help you the fuck further in life. On the contrary, it leaves you behind. Look at Prince.. he's stuck somewhere there with all his talents and his great skills.

Oh damn, this is starting to get me depressed.
DorothyPark, don't you have any jokes about buck teeth or something?

Spookymuffin said:

I'd also be ashamed to play them to my friends - these songs make me feel really ill and angry when I hear them, they're like naf bg music that nerds listen to while playing Counter-Strike, or even music used in that film with Meg Ryan and Mel Gibson about two computer lovers.

y'damn right he is.

lol,Prince singing songs about spending a lot of time on the internet being criticised by people who presumably spend just as much time on the internet ,lol

don't forget cybersingle. bleughhh!!!
