Be Honest

How many of y'all have purple all over your wardrobe or home decor or whatever? How many of you crazy asses have made purple your favorite color because of Prince? How many of you began using 'princebonics' because it made you feel as cool as him. I see a lot of folks whose whole existence is somehow wrapped around Prince...and I'm not judging whether its good or bad...I just want to see just how many are completely enamored with the little guy. There's a lot of fans that think he can do no wrong...and just as many who feel he can do no right. Both groups seem to have one thing in common...they all practically worship Prince. The ones who aren't happy with him seem to be so because they feel personally slighted...the ones who love everything he does seem to feel he his part of their life...but in a crazy not so tightly wrapped kind of way.

Being here has been a very interesting sociology experiment on the phenomena of celebrity. Thanks!

I stay pretty happy with whatever Prince does. However I wish he would do certain things. But thats my Problem I guess. I check prince.org every chance I can. But I wont join the npgmc.
I hope he releases at least one more song that would break through and be so interesting and cool that everyone would comment on it.

Like when "Kiss" came out.

Hey Prince... Waiting on the next album bro~

Purple was my favourite colour way before i'd heard of Prince. I think it was purple Tootie Fruities that did it for me.

Do you fall into any of these categories, PapaS? The man is very powerful. But man is not to be worshipped. Respect his genius. With purple, he is on to something.

Only the Emperor of Rome was allowed to wear purple. Why? Because it is the most regal colour. Why? Because it is a combination of red and blue, which represent mars and venus, which represent man and woman. In other words, purple is man and woman in harmony.

Prince did not invent the meaning of purple. He carried the story of purple. The baton was handed to him from Hendrix. Haze and all that...

At one of the soundchecks Prince mentioned he was "at Kingdon Hall earlier" and a little cheer erupted thru the crowd. I started to wonder how many would join or have joined cause of P? I suppose we are all infuenced by him one way or another, esp. if you have all the music and video.
