Prince Rocks!

[Teresa]

hey old farts: isn't it amazing to have watched a musician like Prince become a legend? reading this thread, and remembering all of his hits makes me realize that we've grown up with this guy, and watched all this. I guess I was in my mid-late twenties when I was really rocking to his music.

I agree Tootsie..I remember when 1999 was a huge hit. It was my favorite Prince song at the time...and I used to think...man 1999 is a long way away!!! Boy, did that time fly by!!!!

oh my gosh, i remember thinking 1999 - why would he pick a date so far in the future ?? well the future is now past, isn't it ?

You are ageless in SoWal land!!! :clap_1:

I have found that many younger people reach way back in music and find genres they like. I am always amazed at the artists my children are listening to.

I thought Prince was terrific. I was smiling and shaking it the entire time. I love that song about the beret(?) raspberry(?)....wished he'd played that. It is he!! losing one's mind.

next time we're all drinking and smoking and dancing - wherever we may be - we must remember to shake it to Prince...

Lol, I don't mean everyone else is old. I just mean, to really enjoy Prince, you probably had to be around during his peak. You have to relate it to something nostalgic (the concerts, high school, etc...), kwim? I might have been in Kindergarten during his peak.

I think the year with U2 was great. I wouldn't mind seeing a legend brought in with someone new like The Fray to mix it up a bit and attempt to appeal to a larger age range.

I knew you did not mean it to be mean.... I just thought wow, I am getting old but I still think i am young...

I'm just afraid they're not going to do younger acts anymore because of what happened with the last one (J Timberlake/J Jackson). Since then it's been three in a row of acts that IMO really focus on a much more mature crowd.

Notice the change in production. Now that they've ditched MTV out of fear and probably Disney for the same reason, if they stick with this new producer, we'll be seeing Hair Bands next!

hey, hair bands!!!:clap_1: I loved those as well.....

oh yeah, highschool and we thought 1999 was ages away....now it has come and is long gone...:shock:
