To clarify: I think skywalker is right: many Prince fans have too high expectations. Sometimes unreasonably high, sometimes not. If one lets go off those expectations, I think one won't be dissapointed, because everything that will then come is extra. One didn't expected it ...


So therefore I say, to myself and anyone listening:


There will be NO:


Purple rain anniversary.

Remasters of Purple Rain, 1999, ATWIAD, SOTT, etc.

Release of the infamous Vault

Return to former form

Music Club that is about MUSIC

Worldtour with reasonable ticket prices

Reunion with the Revolution

New slamming CD or downloads

Banishment of FAMS

Stoppin with the religious and political frontin'.

BUT perhabs there will.. just don't expect it.

(OF COURSE: this all just what I think.)

YOU MUST SURRENDER YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND BE A HAPPY POSITIVE FAM, NEVER COMPLAINING, NEVER DISSATISFIED, NEVER PISSED OFF, BUT ALWAYS PRAISING PRINCE AND THE NPGMC.

Anything at this point is just speculation.

So, why not sit it out and see what happens, you never know do you.

Well I don't think there should be a Purple Rain anniversary. After watching Prince being interviewed when he came to Australia, it was clear how much he's sick of his "classic material" and is really looking to the future.

even if he was sick of it it shouldn't be areason not to elebrate or do something special, should it?

That's true, you never know. But, this is being said for years already. I am not going to sit anything out, i am just going to surrender my expectations and expect nothing anymore.

BTW

ALSO FORGET ABOUT:

Prince not being a "dick" or an "idiot" anymore.

Why not? It's something that occurred to me the last couple of days. People are expetcing this and that from prince, but almost every time they don't get it. For me the time has come to realise that it is better to expect nothing than to keep on hoping, hence this thread!

I believe he does still have it in him, but I am not so sure about the remasters. why are you?

Also:

Forget about Prince playing Africa.

He could be right. Maybe I'm still not believing it really, there is still just too much possible to totally forget about it.

I went back to clarify my intentions.
