Remember back in the early/mid 80's when Prince was always referred to as 'His Royal Badness'? Nobody uses it anymore & it bums me out because I love that title. Am I in the minority on that one?

All the big stars have a title like that:
Sinatra: Chairman of the Board
Springsteen: The Boss
Elvis: The King
James Brown: The Godfather of Soul
Aretha: The Queen of Soul
Mel Torme: The Velvet Fog (I still have no idea what the hell that means but you get the point.....)

Even if you don't like 'His Royal Badness', you have to admit that it's better than 'The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist' title that he's being stuck with nowadays.

it's called larry graham

They still call him 'The Purple One'.

Yeah, but I'd rather Prince have a title that can't be used for Barney also.

They are starting to call him that again. I have always called him that. That title has never went away for me.

It's "His Royal Goodness" now

And it annoys me the more they use it. I hate reading it, it's sooo unimaginative.

XtrueX, I agree with you; I've always liked "His Royal Badness" more than anything else he's ever been called.

They also call him 'His Royal Purpleness' a lot but 'His Royal Badness' rules!!!

Larry whupped his ass and sat him down to study the good book. Boy done good!

This was Way Back ...It was Because of Prince's Laschivious Image . But He can Still be Called this.. Why Not?

Modern Day Mozart was pretty cool. although it isnt very orig.
His Royal Badness was probably the best.

I still call him His Royal Badness cause that's what he is. If the media doesn't want to do what's right then shame on them.
