1. I hadn't seen that; thanks so much! nt

[Redstone]

2. More I see him, the more I like him. He purely can PLAY him some guitar.

7. Redstone I saw him in concert in San Antonio when "Purple Rain"

came out....I am telling you he had some Jimmi Hendrix spirits in that guitar....He is one hell of a showman. He is an amazing artist.

[Redstone]

10. That he is. I had not heard any of his music before last night, though I had heard that

he is kind of a Hendrix acolyte.

Maybe the hype, and the purple clothes, and the chicas, and the retinues, all that stuff had thrown me off...besides the fact that I do not listen to commercial radio stations.

But I've heard him now, and I like what I hear.

14. I have listened to his old albums very creative and some very

racey lyrics. I loved it then and I love it now, and this is a guy who was way ahead of his time in the 80's.

Some of the albums you have to really listen to the lyrics because you may think you hear one thing but when you really listen....yowza, yowza, yowza....

[Redstone]

15. I'll take your advice then, and give his early stuff a listen. Sounds like I've

been missing out on some good stuff.

16. There's a video of While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Petty, Lynne, Prince)

that *was* on youtube(curse you Viacom!!!) that could literally make the hair stand up on the back of my neck...it's that good. I think it was a VH1 tribute to George Harrison. Well worth looking for.

20. I saw that one. He took the other folks to school, he did.

(Amazing guitar solo starts at about the 3:25 mark)

[Redstone]

22. I've seen it. But thanks for the link anyway, Spidey.

Redstone

[Spider Jerusalem]

26. Ah. Okay...

here's one you probably haven't seen (Prince on Saturday Night Live, performing a song off his most recent album--Quicktime video): http://popmuse.typepad.com/my_weblog/files/PrinceSNL246.mov

[Redstone]

27. Outstanding. Thanks for the link.

13. I wonder how they arranged to have a rainstorm while he was playing Purple Rain last night

Awesome!

[Redstone]

23. And nobody got electrocuted, either!

25. I just wish he'd come out with some new music for us old fans.

As a long time fan, I'm a bit tired of his 80's stuff. But, he certainly carved out a genre all for himself. That said, he is an amazing guitarist and I wish he'd focus more on that skill.

My husband (who plays guitar - recreationally) never liked Prince until we rented the "SIGN O THE TIMES" concert. He had to admit, he's very talented.

Check it out on netflix if you subscribe:

28. Prince released "3121" last year....

The first new Prince CD I've bought in many years, and I'm enjoying it.

Here's a sample:

3. I like it. A lot of people don't like the guy.....

He is different and not afraid to take his music in different directions. I like his rock, funk, r&b, styles the best and just about anything he does that has and features big horn sections.
P.S. He does a song called "Sexy MF'er" That one has funk and horns and is a good song.

[Redstone]

11. I had not heard ONE of his songs before yesterday. Now I wish I had.

24. I saw him live a couple of years ago

It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

[Hotler]

4. Oh! And one more thing

he gets all the hot chicks too. How about those Tina Turner bookends had with him?????

[thepurpose]

5. They are called the sexy twins or some crazy crap. At any rate he without a doubt

has the finest looking and talented girls join his bands. Even its for very short stints.

[Bucky]

6. Truly he is the mackinest daddy among all the Jehovah's Witnesses

None of my business, natch, but do you think he can still nail groupies now that he's found Jesus?

[Hotler]

8. Think he goes door to door on the weekends passing .....

out the Watch Tower????

[Bucky]

9. It's the way he KNOCKS on the door that impresses me

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Isn't he married now?

[wicket]

21. They split up a few months ago

n/t

[mzmolly]

19. Hell, Prince thinks Jesus gets him laid.

;) He's always been "spiritual." He simply thinks sex is an uhm, religious experience. He must be doing something right? :P

[wicket]

18. I saw him in concert a couple of summers ago

He puts on one HELL of a show!!!

[AspenRose]

29. What I want to know is:

If Heather Wilson saw Prince's 'shadow' last night (and I think you know what I mean by 'shadow'), does that mean we're in for six more weeks of feigned outrage?
