You guys should ease up on the old kool-aid. You don't know what you're talking about, and please do not presume to make any judgements about my upbringing. If you had been there, which you clearly were not, you would know exactly why I, and many others, told him to fuck off.
If either of you started preaching at me or tried to make me feel like a second class citizen for not joining your club when I've paid you to entertain me, then I'd tell you to fuck off too. Nothing disdanful about it, no lack of home training either. It's just that when I pay someone to entertain me I don't expect them to try sell their god or their club to me, I expect them to do what they're paid for.

Having said all that, were talking about a very minor detraction from what was otherwise an utterly brilliant concert. The only reason I brought it up is because the question was asked. I wish I hadn't. I certainly didn't expect presumptions about my behaviour or upbringing to be made.

I threw up two middle fingers and booed a few times after Prince made us wait an extra few hours before taking the stage, played only 2 or 3 of his own songs, preached about how Larry changed his life, and gave Larry full control of the stage. I wasn't the only pissed of one there, but the rest stayed quiet as Prince-ass-lickers cheered and danced the night away.

but isn't that precisely why one goes to a concert? why would they be prince ass-lickers just for enjoying the concert for which they paid to see. perhaps you should have tried that instead of pretending you were shocked at prince's lateness. come on now...we all know that fool is not showing up on time. when i go to parties i'll tell friends i'll be there but they know i may be prince late, michael jackson late or whitney houston late. that's just how it is. no sense in getting upset over it.

know what, ewm?

instead of bein so quick to shoot stuff down and continually sayin "i don't like this/that/whatever's clever", why don't ya just...i dunno, be thankful that p's still around? that's the least you can do. i myself don't care too much for what p puts out nowadays either--i'll be the first to admit it, i ain't ashamed--but i'm glad that he's still out there and doin his thing, regardless. nevermind the b.s. that pops up at times and that pisses us fans/friends/freex/geex/fams/whoever off... [b]for one solitary moment, just be thankful that prince is still in the biz, as opposed to just sayin he's crap. and before you say anything else about my statement, i'ma stop ya:

that ain't kissin ass.

that ain't bein super-duper-fam-o-licious.

that ain't bein a sheep.

that's merely a way to pay homage, a way to loosen up, and a way to stop bein s'damned miserable and pissy about everylittlesinglething p does now. it works for me. doesn't hurt a bit.


mine.

"It's more hard to love than it is to hate".... Let's call those who had fun human beings instead of ass -lickers. You're the one to think that dissing is cool!!

I think expressing my opinion is cool.

Exactly this is your humble opinion which I respect I just have a problem when- in soe posts of yours- you try to turn it as a general consensus.

Yes!

At the ONA show in Dublin when he asked "Do you love God" I shouted back "No. Play some music".
I don't think he heard me.

And when he said "Join the Club" I shouted "Fuck Off!". I heard a few other people around me shouting the same thing. I don't he heard that either, because of all the loopers up the front, making a racket.

He works his ass off to give you albums like SOTT and 1999, and you show your appreciation for his musical gifts by shouting petty insults at him. Ridiculous.[/color]
