PrintableI carry my keys by hooking the alarm fob in my pants pocket. About a month ago, I was at church with a bunch of family members. My cousin and her husband, who works for probation, were sitting in the pew behind me. He leans over and grabs my keys and asked me, "what is this?" referring to the symbol keychain. I told him and he continued, "this is a weapon, be careful" - dead serious! 
Hmmmm, had never occurred to me. Now, I guess I don't need that little can of mace.  "No, I'm not that mysterious. I'm a pretty open book. People who know my music, I would say know me." - Prince, Today Show 3/15/04 | |

JimmyNothing said: I just remembered an incident I had at a Prince concert. I can't remember if it was March '95 (Ultimate Live Experince) or the Gold Experience in September '95 at Wembley Arena, London.
I had bought a plastic bottle of water to take in with me and I had seats about 300 metres away from the stage. Really crappy seats. They made me take the lid off and refused blank to let me in with the lid on my bottle. I stated arguing the case that A) I was 300 metres back and there was no way I could throw it that far to hit Prince with it B) If I was there to throw stuff at Prince then why would I have paid for a ticket and be all dressed up in Prince clothes? C) The actual bottle would do more damage anyway if I threw it at him D) Why are you being such an asshole? They didn't take any of my pound coins off me, which could cut him up if they hit him. So silly Had the same experience in 1990. After the check I saw that they sold bottle at the shop inside. So ridiculous Ich bin bei der Neue Kraft Bewegung | |

Gee, I feel so much safer knowing all those symbol keychains aren't making it onto planes.
Meanwhile, my husband recently took a flight and realized after he got to his destination that he had forgotten that he was carrying a leatherman tool on his belt. (which contains a 3 inch knife) So who is stupider, the security guard who takes your symbol keychain or the one who lets the actual knife go by? Hmm. Maybe he was really a closet P fan and just WANTED your keychain. | |

So ridiculous Last year I brought my own water bottle to the Prince concert, I got in to the venue fine. Later I got a pass out and when I tried to bring in the water again, the security dude said you could only have water bottles you bought inside the venue in with you so I either had to drink it in front of him or pour it out on the ground. I told him I DID buy it in there before (white lie) and he said OK then. I thought it might be because it might not be water in your bottle. | |

2004 really could be Prince's year.
Imagine the press he'd get if there was another hijacking/terrorist attack where the terrorists were using symbol necklaces! They could tell the airport security they all just got back from the Musicology Tour in Pakistan and..... tada! .... is a weapon!
But then on the bright side, people might buy millions of copies of Musicology! Okay, it's late and I'm tired and talking nonsense. Sorry! | |
