HAVE U EVER DENIED U R A PRINCE FAN?

i must admit there have been times when someone has asked me what music do i like and i have not admitted i like prince. sometimes u just dont want a negative reaction or it depends what sort of company i am in if i will admit prince is by far my favourite music artist.
i tend to find the more the person knows about music...maybe a musician myself or has a wide knowledge of music....the more they can understand why i like him so much so the next time you bump into a westlife fan, just keep your mouth shut lol
anyone else had this experience?

I've never denied I'm a Prince fan. It's not my fault if they laugh or react otherwise.

I don't bring prince's name up in conversation much. There's a few albums of his that I like, and I just leave it at that.

Nice avatar, I'm a big Argento fan...
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

I don't think I've ever denied it, but there was a time I was travelling on a V-line (regional Victoria, Australia) train when some blokes asked my friend was listening to and he said without hesitation that he was listening to Prince. Considering the place and people he probably should have said 'stuff'. 'who, that skinny muthafucker with the high voice??'
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

I don't get it. Why deny it? I don't go walking around telling everyone within earshot what my musical tastes are, but if I'm in conversation with someone and they ask I give my opinions.

I've never denied that I'm a fan. But anyone who really knows me, already knows that I'm a fan, so it's not like it's something that I would need to discuss with anyone either.

But that being said, Prince built a name for himself by being "weird". And because of that, a lot of non-fans have a "weird" understanding of him. But I've long since outgrown the need to try to explain to people why I like his music or the need to try to convince others to see him in a different light.

So in the rare cases where I have been asked if I'm a fan, I simply say "yes" and leave it at that.

despite the new artists out there today, prince is so far ahead of his time. His music is very creative, and that's why i'm a proud fan.

People are entitled to their own opinions. For instance, my best friend like jennifer love hewitts music ill
and she complains all the time how i'm a prince fan..

if prince motivates you, or inspires you... then kudos to you

you should never deny your muses or inspirations... would u deny your believes?

No.

I find most people respect him as a musician anyway but are put off him by his looks and his dress sense, but that's strictly their problem, not mine.

Yes, three times before he was handed over to the Romans. The third time, a rooster crowed.

lol


Honestly, it ain't that deep. He's one musician among many whom I admire.
