i'd be crackin jokes with 'im. folks would end up havin to kick us off the plane, cuz we'd be illin.

I would listen to a 1994/1995 club show on my discman loud enough that he could hear - start bobbing my head and quietly calling out cues - "on the one, everybody solo!", "Eric, shut the duck up" etc. See if I can make him smile.

And: "Man, duck Prince, that's not what's up! That's not what's up!! I said it, clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, come on, clap yo' hands, clap yo' hands, come on..."

Maybe he'd join in, singing P Control...

I've NEVER been on a plane and I KNOW I'd be afraid, because I don't even like rollercoasters much. So that's a funny idea roodboi...

In any case, I would most definetly have my cd walkman with. I take it everyday on my way to work, with like 20 cds cuz I can't decided what to listen to!

I would start off by saying hi and smiling. When someone sits next to you it's the polite thing to do.

Anyway, if I had some of MY music I would somehow get him to listen to it. I'm sure we could just talk about music in general. OH! I would ask him if he heard about the New Funk Order and tell him that I'm VinaBlue! Yeah! That would be cool.

The very thought.

Ok, I would try to not freek out but I know I wouldnt keep quiet either. I wouldnt be able to ignore him and not glance at him...OMG...he would probably smell good and I would be freeking out on the inside......I think I would tell him that Im a NPGMC'er and that Im a huge fan...no wait...that's corny...but I would mention the part about being a NPGMC'er...I would tell him how I thought the ONA afterparty in NYC was off the chain! ...I would talk to him about my guitar ...I would accidently bump knees with him......OMG...I wouldnt know what to say to him!!...would I even say something to him?? I think I would just start crying...or call my mother or something...wait, we'd be on a plane......I think I would die...yes, I would just die if I were sitting next to Prince on a plane...

I would just try to shake his hand and tell him that I appreciate his music. Any other interactions after that I would leave up to him.

R U Gay?

Have U ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much U'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Excuse my savoir faire,
But, baby I'm dying 2 take u everywhere

I'd probably say "hi" at some point if it seemed appropriate, and then leave him alone unless he initiated a conversation. Basically, I'd treat him as I would any other seatmate.

It'd be interesting if it ever happened. I'm a frequent flyer, often with an upgrade to first class, and about 50% of the time I have a connection at Minneapolis/St. Paul.

I recall reading at flyertalk.com that Prince's in-flight beverage of choice is ginger ale, BTW.

I'd get that one dude who took his pic w/o asking him and have him do it again

[b]If I were fortunate enuff to fly in 1st class, I would just enjoy that! Prince sitting next to me would be the icing on top of my cupcake.
In all honesty, I hate to fly and when I do, I usually take a Benadryl and sleep the whole flight with my headphones on. But...with Prince next to me..I would nod Hello, and then pull out my book...THE SEX CHRONICLES by ZANE and start reading like I was all IN TO MY BOOK, just to see the expression on Prince's face if he noticed what I was reading. If he ask me if my book is interesting..I would smile and wink at him.
But...I wouldn't bother him, just have him wondering.

I'll let you in on a frequent-flyer secret: most people in first class don't pay for it. For instance, I'm flying to Seattle later this month in first class. What did I pay? $219.40 for a coach ticket.

Zelaira said:

Oh my.

I'd pretend that I don't recognize him (U know here in Poland his not so popular like elsewhere) and just would start a small talk:
-So what U doin' in Ure life?
-I'm an Artist!
-Oh, really? R U painter?
-No, I'm a real Artist!
-Shit, another selfmade artist
-U talking 2 me?
-Yeap! U skiny mf with a high voice!
-Oh U son of b...
-SLAM!
-SLAM!
....

I'd let him listen to some of his own bootlegs on my i-Pod. MWHAHAHAHA!

FABpolska said:

I can see that. But Prince cursin'?? he knows betta

don't eat a steak next to him, he'll lecture you.

i tried to communicate with a friend before when he was flying in a plane next to mine, but it didn't work out very well. We just couldn't see each other's signs,,,so if Prince were flying in his plane next to mine, oh well, shit happens. Hopefully we'd be heading the same airport.

ufoclub said:

Perfect, there's a great way to get him to start a conversation with you ... if that doesn't work, you could offer him a bite ....

Damn, how close were the planes flying??!! [Mental note to avoid whatever airline Bastian normally uses]

suedehead said:

What is the P video where he's served a box lunch, opens it up, sees a nasty piece of meat there and looks at it like the meat stinks? Was that the "Somebody's Somebody" video?

"Hey Prince, check out this sand dollar...."

Fuck, I know I could never keep my mouth shut if I were lucky enough to end up in a seat next to him!

Seriously, I would try to start a conversation, and hopefully he would be willing to talk to me. But I would start out by saying that if I annoy him, he would only have to say "shut up" and I'd be quite and leave him alone!

Zelaira said:

well hey there, if you ran out of depends maybe you could ask him if he had a spare pair you could borrow. then, when he said no, you could make an 'uh-oh' face then visibly relax after a few moments and then apologize but refuse to say why

I'd act like hes a nobody...well,i mean a normal person ...than I'd ask HIM the time hehehe nobody thought about that one hmmm than I'd be still the whole ride and wait 2 he fell asleep 2 stare at him and to see if his facial hair is really that perfect close up .
well...actually I think I'd be really scared and just breathe heavily the whole ride. im

Worst Case scenario: I would be removed from the plane because I couldn't stop rabbit-humping his leg.

Better Case scenario: I wouldn't be removed from the plane because I couldn't stop rabbit-humping his leg.

Best Case scenario: Prince would take one look at me. Start singing "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" and proceed to rabbit-hump my leg.

Actual Case Scenario: I would be completely mortified and not say anything to him for fear of sounding like a lunatic, and would proceed to giggle to myself and wait for the smell of his cologne to waft my way.

I would probably offer him one of my CD's and say "hey let's switch when ur done with that Janet CD, I've been wantin to check that out" Then I would probably lay my head back and try to smell him LOL LOL...didnt expect that one huh?? Honestly, I would do the CD thing and then just kick back and let him be....it would be enough just to b sittin next to him, sharing the same nasty, re-cycled airplane air!!

Actually, I would assume that Prince sits on the aisle and his bodyguard sits next to him, just so this sort of thing never happens. It is a fun thought though and a great thread.
