If u have only a few moments to convince a friend of how 'Super Bad' Prince is what do you show him?

For me it's usually that bit during HouseQuake, in the 'Sign O The Times' movie. Little man drops the mic', throws his leg over it, and does the splits.
That was kinda badly explained, but you all know what i'm talkin about!

PEACE,
BE WILD!

Play them the bass solo on "La La La He He Hee"

Well, this approach takes more than a few minutes, but here's how I was convinced. In 1987, I headed off to college. The resident assistant on my floor asked me if I was a Prince fan. I told him that I was...kind of. I owned Purple Rain and 1999. That was it. Well, that afternoon, I went to my room and he had left a pile of Prince records, tapes, CDs on my bed. There was a not telling me to listen to all of them from beginning to end. Only then would he consider being nice to me. If I chose not to listen, he was going to make my life hell. So, I listened and got hooked.

If you only have a few minutes, however, I would say to play the video excerpt of "It's Gonna B A Beautiful Night" From SOT Movie. I love when he gets on the drums. That video always does it for me. Better yet, just force someone to watch the whole damn movie!

I took my date back in '87 to the SOTT movie when it came out. She ACTUALLY fell asleep. I couldn't care less. I was so into the movie, i only realized she fell asleep at the very end. That nite i banged her and dumped her a week later...nice poonanny, but kind of a dead fish in bed.

Oh yeah, how to convince someone P is BAD. First you need to know if they were ever into Prince at all. If they somehow missed the PRain album, 1999 album, Kiss, etc, they were either shipwrecked on a deserted island(that's ok) OR...there's something wrong with their brain to start with and you have no hope of any kind of conversion.
If they were once into P's music in the 80's or 90's, start with Rave 2000 DVD, go to Purple Rain(a refresher course if you will), move to D&P(newer hits), go to TMBGITWorld, go to 1999, then go to the b-side hits: Erotic City, HCUDCMA, SAIMHair, 17 Days, Escape, etc.

At this point they're putty in your hands...patiently remove shirt, pants, bra, stroke panties, then remove panties, you're in like Flynn.
Wait, that's the "How to Hook Up to Prince" Guide, oops

I would maybe show them the bass he plays on Alphabet St.
Especially the part when Cat raps.

They'll run and tell their mommas 'bout that!

And when they come back, I show them the horn arrangement at the end of Billy Jack Bitch!

They'll run and tell their papas 'bout that!

Sometimes you can't convince some people. I think those who do know, and who do notice that he is that great, got some good sense, and some good taste to go with that also!

Dude, I don't even care that you did this,
but the fact that you'd say it on a message board is just tacky as all fuck! :O

I'd play "Kiss" from the Arsenio Hall show - if that doesn't get 'em hooked, cut them out of your life...

Here's how:

U take m 2 Ur crib & then U tie m 2 a chair.
Then U make funny faces till they get real scared
Then U turn up the speakers n U play m some Prince.



That should work. And after U've been arrested U can request some Prince songs on 'jailbirdz fm' and groove 2 m with Ur hairy -but lovely- inmates.
