...when you see in the paper that there's a rerun of Purple Rain coming up on TV later that evening, and you get all excited and wouldn't dream of missing it just cause it's on TV...although you've watched it on VHS and DVD three hundred gazillion times over a time period of 20 years, and can watch it any damn time you like. | |

When your brother who lives a few hundred miles away shows up at your house because he heard a Prince song on the radio that reminded him of something you'd say and made him miss spending time with you. (Of course he forgot the name of the song ("it's a popular ballad"), so now I'm trying to figure out which one sounds like something I'd say). | |

UptownDeb said: Random Prince-related emails from friends. It's so nice when people associate you with something you love. Let's you know that they're thinking about you.
 I agree. My boyfriend called me from New York and left on my message on my cell phone: 'Listen," he says and then proceeds to put the phone next to what I assumed to be a speaker and after much hiss and grumbling I hear the distinct keyboard riff for when doves cry. He then comesback on the line and says that now everytime he listents to Prince he will always think of me...

Yeah, and you JUST HAVE TO KNOW who the person was that played Prince on the jukebox and you scan the room for the person who's bobbing their head and singing along.

Nep2nes said: When everywhere you go you can't help but express yourself through Prince lyrics
On a spring day: You WANT to say: "My, what beautiful green grass!" YOU SAY: "Soda fizzin on the lawn..." When driving by a car dealership: You WANT to say: "Alas! A red sports vehicle!" YOU SAY: "Liiiittle Red Corvette...do-doo-do...." When in an argument with significant other: You WANT to say: "I hate your guts, you bastard" YOU SAY: "I hate you...because I love you...but I can't love you....because I hate you..."  I HATE that!That’s me… 
Though I’d probably go “That is some wonderful gra-asss” And my friend net to me would go “So Wonderful” We’d actually start singing some sort of P song on our way out to clubs…and usually mess with the lyrics as we did so. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

...when you already own every officially released Prince everything, yet you still check under his name at every music and video store you go to. |

When you are able to reference P into practically any conversation.
When on any given week besides those where there is a new release you listen to at least 2 P CD's When you start a thread stating Mani is Ugly When you request on a discussion board that Prince play a song for you at the concert you are attending because you bought your soon to be wife 2 Prince Concert ticketsfor a wedding present (when in actuallity it's you that really wants to go to...yet think that this is a great gift for her) and actually think Prince is going to either A) read your post B) do as you request C) mention a congrats to your marriage in the middle of the concert.

Great Topic!
I knew it was bad, among many, many, many of the things listed above, when I could not bring myself to delete the bookmarks to all the now-dead prince-related websites. I guess I hope they might return one day! 2004-ever Amen, this is just a ball! |

...when you're at the store and you look at the cover of a magazine and it has random words that immediately make you think of prince--f'rinstance, i was at a bookstore about a month or two ago. i was waitin in line to pay for a dvd or somethin that i bought and i was lookin at the magazines they had on display at the front counter. there was this issue of essence magazine that had the words, "7 moves to a sexy dancer's body" or somethin like that. i only remember the "sexy dancer's body" bit. i tried my damndest not to start hummin "sd" or start laughin. Damn, I just stepped on that issue in my junky ass bedroom. You KNOW you have issues when you start taking every Prince "sighting" as an omen (I have that same issue with Elvis) I AM BEATLOAF

When you get a letter from the Post Office in Chanhassen, Minnesota and your first thought is that the letter may have robbed against one of Prince's mail. Yes, it is true, and I did think it.  | |
