shanti0608 said: My husband seems to think I am an obsessed fan. Every time I get some new Prince thing (music, video...) I listen to it or watch it a million times. It drives him crazy (not a Prince fan). Anyways, sometimes I think he is right. I just got Musicology last week for my b-day (june 8th), he bought it for me before my B-day to shut me up. I listened to it as soon as we got out of the store, in the truck all of the way home. Once we got home I put my CD headset on and jammed out to my favorite songs on the CD over & over. I love his voice and listening on your headset you can hear every detail. It is like he is whispering in your ear!!! Anyways, I take the CD everywhere I go and play it every moment possible. When I am not listening to it, I am singing it in my head. Am I obessed? I know this will pass as soon as I have heard every detail of the songs. Every guitar sound, every sound that comes from his mouth... I cannot explain it. Can anyone else relate?
Shanti Yep, sounds 100% familiar. With one minor difference. My husband thinks my obsession is "cute" and has kidnapped Musicology for his car, so that's the only time I get to listen to it when he drives me somewhere. Which is OK, so I don't overload all at one - like rationing. | |

This guy opposite was listening to his walkman and when the train stopped I could make out the bass line of "I Would Die For You". I was grinning at him like a maniac as you so rarely hear people listening to old-school P on their headphones.
I'm not sure he got me though as he got off at the next station looking slightly scared. That guy was probably me... . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

Is obsession healthy?
Does it interfere with your relationships? I see a lot of justifications and rationalizations of obsession on this post. Interestinag article HERE | |

I was watching Saturday Night Live at about midnight yesterday, and I heard something. I knew it, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was or were it was coming from. A minute later I figured out it was 'Money don't matter 2nite' coming from the apartment below mine. I dived headfirst off the bed (hurting my shoulder) and put my ear against the floor until it was over. That's when you should start worrying. I think you just have good taste in music, nothing wrong with that, enjoy it. Read your post upon awakening early this Sunday morning - and you've got me laughing ! Yes - I remember once hearing a Prince Song in Home Hardware or something - unusual for a little town in Canada - and I was sooooo stoked - I felt like shaking everyone in there by the shoulders - LISTEN - IT'S PRINCE - ITS PRINCE !! In Home Hardware - - - but they all obviously went about their business . . . | |

and even then, it was bought for her? I say NO...you've got a LONG WAY to go! That does not mean that I had not found other ways to hear the songs on the CD. I am currently out of work so I had to let my husband buy it for me. Trust me, if I had the $ I would have bought it the day it came out. I have almost every other album, CD and single of his. My obsession is not with buying things, it is with listening, dreaming, lusting,worshiping, taping, watching, drooling... over the man! I cannot stop but I guess he has that spell over others too. Gotta go listen! " didn't have the heart to say I'm sorry, now haven't got a heart at all." Shanti Be careful now, u said "worshiping", thats a little too far isnt it? | |

The question is is it better 2 b with someone who is or isn`t a fan??.I put Prince on hold as it did get between me and my partner and now i regret it...I`m happy 2 say i`m back to where i was 3 years ago,everything purple again.But i now question if a "fan" can really b with a non fan??
How would it b 2 lay with someone to the sounds of "call my name " , Adore or even Feel u up ??? Only in my wildest dreams ??? ""And if i never c u again....it`s alright "" | |
