oh, and so is dancing with the lion, and book of roses
think they ain't?

prince affiliations aside! ("quiet observer", 3 chains of gold video)

hey, i really ain't even some supersoft dude, really, i swear...

but to play him for others as a 'prince-related' artist...yeah, you would definitely have some prince issues there.

If you're in a mall and walking past a jewelry store and you immediately think of "Diamonds & Pearls". I did this yesterday.

Preach on preach on.

When folks you knew from elementary school - when you started being a Prince fan, call you when they here a Prince album or concert is bouts to happen.

When you go the wrekka stow to buy Musicology and see that there is a display of some of his other albums (SOTT, DP, PR etc) with at least three other people browsing these and you get excited!

When you now actually think Under The Cherry Moon ain't such a bad film after all. In fact it's quite funny in places and Prince has got that kinds Marx Bros thing going on, and as for Jerome...there U C (damn and U start using Princebonics and telling everyone HE INVENTED TXT MSGS)

You arrive at work to find recent pictures of Prince plastered around your work site by your coworkers and boss. And since the 'window' at the bank is visible to the public, some people have decided not to have you wait on them anymore. It keeps a little snicker on my face as I card Sheriffs etc. for ID because while doing so, you know that they are viewing Prince all around U.

when you never shop in a certain store but you go in, and stay in there just because they're playing a Prince song.

when you can sing Prince lyrics to anyone's music and make it sound better.

...when you're strollin down hennepin ave and some cars pass you by, one of which was bumpin "If I was the Man if Your Life", and so your princelovian instincts kick in and you start running after the car to see if you can catch it at the light!


what for? what i gonna do? give a big thumbs up?!
maybe i just wanna see who it is...

issues, man, issues outta control.

this happened to me last night.

even in the middle of the most serious deep conversation on religion or politics or whatever, i just might work in a prince quote/ lyric or reference right alongside a quote from Plato, Luther, Nietszche, Chomsky, or Hobbes just like it were a seemless and totally legit reference to make and strengthen my point.

ah, man. maybe they'll never understand my crazy ways,
and my sense of logic will always leave them in a daze.

...your body clock is engrained to always look at your watch at 3:19, and every single time you think it's cool.

Well how about you can't find the remote to the VCR, but "Under the Cherry Moon" is coming on cable at 3AM, so you set your clock and get up to hit the record button. (Don't tell my husband, he thought I was going downstairs for water!)

funny how yet another one of my 'issues' came up 2day: a friend of mine was driving me through an unfamiliar town, and suddenly i see a name for a store that read "MO' BETTA."

now, how could i help NOT IMMEDIATELY thinking of christopher tracy's famous phrase to mary, "MAYBE IF U TOOK OFF YOUR CHASTITY BELT, U COULD BREATHE A LITTLE MO' BETTA!"

how about when you haven't seen someone for like fifteen years and they ask you 'are you still into that prince guy, you know the one with the frilly shirt, what was that movie..... purple somethin'

...When you're birthday cake gots Prince's face on it a la Purple Rain era!!

My 16th birthday was SO cool, and it just so happens my aunt was at the time a cake decorator deluxe!

i hear ya, but what's worse is when you can't bring yourself to get rid of that damn tc ellis record because it'll mess up your collection

...when it snows in April (like it did one morning last week) and you go around all day singing that song like a geek.

When your father tells you that your mother was looking for you in the audience at the Prince Musicology special. I don't live in NYC. Oh, and she called me to remind me about it too.

When you teach your dad how to login to Ticketmaster so he can buy your concert ticket while you are on vacation and away from a computer.

It is understood that a Prince song WILL be played at your friends' wedding reception.
You sign wedding guestbooks with Prince quotes (I wish u heaven, etc.)

You check the prince section at EVERY record store you go to.
You hear a song that 'sounds' like prince and you must determine immediately if he had anything to do with it (eg. listening to Jonny Lang's album.. 'that sounds like prince!')

You are introduced to your friend's friends, and the first words out of their mouth are: "Oh, you're the one who likes Prince and squash" lol

You think standing in line for 16 hours to be front row is 'part of the concert experience'
Your dentist's assistant calls you to tell you she's going to a prince concert.
