You all must have guessed by now...

Prince doesn't care about idolisme anymore. I don't mind him just speaking thru his music. That's fine with me.

There's a letter in the Minneapolis Hard Rock that he wrote to a fan.

i've seen that letter, it was like circa pr. guess the question at the header of the thread should be, "why doesn't prince write back to fans anymore?"

I've heard he only answers the grammaticaly correct, coherent ones.

Maybe u should write to Maceo. He is 'The Teacher' after all.

I've thought about writing a letter to Prince for years now! I even started a thread about it here on the Org. Everyone told me it would be a waste of time and effort, because Prince is much too busy to read fanmail. I could (and still can) see their point. Even so, it's an idea that's always lurking in the back of my mind ... I should just DO it, without expecting a reply! wink

Well I plan on giving him a letter and a portrait of himself at the next concert in NY. Hopefully, he will be kind enough to write back since a fan gave it to him personally. Also, since after that show he will have 5 days off and may take a sec to respond. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

He's constantly writing his fans -- it's just that his missives are usually delivered by a courier who says:

"Consider yourself served. Good day."

I remember him saying in an interview that he would write to this one fan and kept in touch for a long time until one day she popped up at his front door. kinda freaked him out so he stopped writing to his fans. anyone remember that?

do any celebs write back to their fans? i mean, i know there are many form letters that get sent out with a stamped signature at the bottom but i don't know of any big star who actually writes back. ideally it woul dbe great if people took the time to remember those who have supported their work throughout the years but i guess we can't all be like joan crawford. lol

anyhow, rather than get upset over a stranger not writing you back, just take pride in the fact that you have better manners than prince does, lol.

I wrote to the fan club address on the "Dirty Mind" album during that era. I few months later I received a post card with a picture of Prince with a close up of his face and a bandana around his neck. It was autographed (stamped, there was no pen indentation on the back) "My all, Prince".

Over the years when we moved to another house it must have got lost in the move.

Didn't Bill Cosby send out thank you cards to everyone who sent him sympathy cards when his son was murdered?

i totally agree that with every song, he is in a way, writing to his fans - and his web site is certainly his product - he may not write every word, but you know the little control freak is overseeing the whole affair. but i also agree that it would be cool if he would get on his site and just post his thoughts and highlights from different shows - life events! make us laugh, like we know he could. that would be cool - but then i'm sure he's apprehensive that it would get copied and misrepresented somehow in papers worldwide . . .

He won't even let people interviewing him use tape recorders or notepads nor will he do an interview via email.....I think its cuz #1 he doesn't want anyone out there to have something in their hands that they can put up for sale on eBay #2 These things can be edited/cut therefore changing what he actually said (as you can easily do with emails and recordings of him speaking).....
