JasonT: "I'm just a normal guy now." (Muppets Tonight)

I think that the man is a genius and that he has gone through some tough times (in a highly publicised way) and can be forgiven for saying anything daft!
Although, there are some great lyrics to make up for any 'slip-ups': 'I wanna get you underneath the cream and do the Marshmallow' ... Anytime with me darling! - Kerry

Is that a banana in ur pocket or r u glad 2 cee me? - Takaiser

That He said that He felt divorced from PRINCE! - Cyr Family

In the outtake "Movie Star", when he chuckles and rants,
"Check me out, just walk in and don't even find a seat, just threw my coat right on the flo'/
Grab somebody fo' a quick dance/ Boy, girl, it don't matter no more, I'm hot!/ Shit, mix was right"
And he says "mix was right" a few times through the song. What the hell does that mean. - Jovan Fantasic

The most ridiculous thing Prince or if you will The Artist ever said was in Peach,
when he said "she was pure every ounce I was sure when her tittys bounced." - Charles Hilburn

"I will never play any music by Prince again, he is dead" - JimmyClick

He says: " Eye don't curse anymore... there is no need 2 express myself
that way anymore." and he says " we need censorship on all Media"
then he turns around on April of 2000 concert and shows a clip of "PRINCE"
singing Sexy Mother Fucker... duh... is that all about? Please EMALE ME IF U KNOW.
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol - NPGSTYLE

I remember over a decade ago I went to one of his concerts in Dallas and what I witnessed blew my mind. 
He turned his backside to the audience and shook his ass then said "I bet God don't have an ass like mine." 
This upset me so much, but we all make mistakes.  I still love U o(-> !!! - Susan Linex

In his book Purple Reign published 1998, he said his mom gave him Playboys
to look at to teach him about sex. I don't think so, she gave them to him because he is so gay.
She knew he and André were having sex. - Bookert101922

I think that the Artist sounds ridiculous when he uses the words "Larry Graham" in a sentence. 
Unless he says, "Larry Graham is no longer my friend/mentor."
I guess it's time to put slave back on your cheek.  Ditch Larry and feel TRUE FREEDOM! 
- Dorothy Parker 

But you best watch your back if another leader falls.
You can't fight violence with violence, or you'll get your ass kicked.
- Colleen Jennings

My name is Prince, and I am funky! - SVJC115

"I don't celebrate holidays" (so what's that pay per view shit?) - AkinomFunk

The most ridiculous thing i ever heard prince say was the part in "Uptown" when he said...
"said to myself say" before the chorus! What is "said to myself say"?!
"Are you gay, took me by suprise, didnt know what to do,
looked her in the eyes and said no are you... (then the part) "said to myself say"
- Vernon J. Simpson

"Maybe somebody died about the way somebody died"
He needs to read a real bible! - NPGMAD

Anything ever said on l40a.
"I'm monogomous with God."
"#1 at the bank." - Ted Daniell

The complete letter 2 Madonna...
All the promises (of releases) he didn't keep, and never said sorry for...
or any other kind of explenation. - filip crevits

Change his name : Prince it's a cool name - Franck Champion

When he announced his plans to annul his marriage to Mayte, but to then be joined for life in
a "purely symbolic form".
Come on Prince. If you want a divorce from Mayte, just ask her for one.
Don't insult her (or your fans') intelligence with all this symbolic bullshit.
- Aquagoth

"...there will b no editor...LOVE..." - PiePie1976

"We have a song called Baconskin that thumps for over 15 minutes... sick."
"Alabama!!!" at least 100 times in one show. (Hear Millenium Grooves for proof) lol
"Me and Larry Thump Daily"
"Open letter 2 Madonna"
those are the most ridiculous things he's said so far.. but wait until next week
hehe... - Musik (Frej45)

"El Nino takes prisoners of non-believers" was highly insensitive. Send forth Prince the Punisher.
"Naysayers will eat their words on toast." Christmas came and went, Jan 1 came and went... Was never anything but butter on mine. Blockbuster saved the day mid-Feb! - HiRizeBear

"I hated the whole Starous thing"
"I'm #1 at the bank"
"100,000 at $50, you do the math"
I definitely liked him better when he kept his mouth shut. - Rhastus69

"This is my name (holding the symbol charm). It has no pronounciation." 98 CNN Interview.
Anything printed on love 4 one another. - Aqua816

Not necessarily the most ridiculous thing he's ever said, but an
interesting slip up: "Like a dog in heat, I will disappoint" - Bill Johnson

"Dee, I love you." He said that to me in a Prince chat last year when I made him laugh!
I knew he was lying! LOL! - Mr Camille "Dee" Nelson

I like him too much to criticize anything he has said in the past. I am
a little unsure and uncomfortable on this whole divorce thing though. - Scott Brewer

Personally, I feel the artist has NEVER said a ridiculous thing. - Hld007

December 1998:
What would U give the Artist fo' Christmas?

R replies:

JasonT - Michael Jordan.

JasonR - A Spice Rack of Pheromones from the following people:
Hendrix (extracted from a DNA sample taken from a joint he cut his lip on once),
Bill Cliton (very ez 2 obtain), The Pope (harder 2 obtain),
All the Spice Girls (including Geri) & a generous sample from Mayte’s dog Mary.

Ur replies:

i'd give the artist my very own prosthetic limb. - Multil8

I would pose naked and be a centerfold in a nudie magazine
looking just like him then I would get it and send it to his house. - Demetria Vance

Well, considering that he no longer believes in celebrating this holiday,
I guess I'd have to give him a gift certificate for
one month's worth of unbiased media coverage.
Wouldn't he be happy to read an article only about his music
and not the name change stuff?  I know I would.  For the entire month,
reviewers would focus on writing reviews about the material in question,
not how they would have done it, or how some other musician/producer
would have done it, or how it compares to '1999'...just the music,
here and now.   Heck, don't get me started on this media crap...
That's what I'd give The Artist...one month of honest media publicity and critique. - Andre

The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th & 7th album of Prince.
(Maybe he'll remember that this guy had it all.)
A contract with a major label, just 4 commercial purposes.
(Let the internet be just 4 the diehard 'friends', 'cause the world is
forgettin' about him ...) - filip crevits (tandarts)

October 1998:
Who would U cast as the Artist
in a movie about him?

Our choices:

The Artist: Keanu Reeves
or Sandra Bullock

Mayte: Salma Hayek
Tommy B: Ru Paul
Morris E. Day: Robert Downey Jr
Jerome: Cuba Gooding Jr
Carmen Electra: Pamela Anderson
Mary (Mayte's Dog): Babe (The Pig)

Your choices:

I'd cast Georgio:  The MCA artist from the late 80's.
Or I'd cast Mikki Free from Shalamar.
Keenan Ivory Wayans played a funny 'Prince Jones'
in a spoof of 'Cop Rock' called 'Rock Cops'.  I quote, "And you, Prince,
stop wearing your sister's clothes.  I'm tired of seeing the crack of
yo' ass every time you leave my office." - Scott Warner

Chris Tucker. - RayJH

I would [cast] myself as the Artist because I have been doing him for 5 years.
Here's my pic to prove it! - Demetria Vance

I think Halle Berry could portray Prince... with a painted moustache...
§:{o - Alfonso Gomez

Lou Diamond Phillips. He needs a new role! Mad
Tv jus won't make the CUT <actin like lisa lopez>.
-HaSSaSSiN

I'd cast that drag queen from "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"
- have to butch her up, though. It's either her or that guy from that
movie I can't remember right now with Forrest Whittaker and his gf
turned out to be a man. - Cleopatra

Prince- Jasmine Guy, Jada Pickett-Smith or Jamie Foxx
Mayte- Chante Moore
Morris Day- El Debarge
Jerome- Martin Lawrence
Sheila E- Rosie Perez
Cat- MC Lyte
Warner Brothers- the Rugrats

September 1998:
Which track by Prince/the Artist would
U play 2 wierd someone out?

When I first heard Annie Christian on the Controversy album I thought it
was the scariest song I had ever heard, I immediately knew that there was
something not right about this artist, but I couldn't help but listen.
Sister is also another one. - wilkie

A long time ago my friend played Controversy and his mother heard it. "What
that boy doing praying on a record, he's the devil! Take that off! This is my
house, I pay the bills, take that off!"
Sister would also raise some eyebrows. -Dakota4849

Sister would definitley make any female cringe - REDD1219

I would say that definitely without question Bob George is the weirdest
Prince song ever.  People are always freaked when I play that for them.
They can't believe it's him, not only because of the twisted
lowered-voice, but the violence in that eerie song also goes against his
reputation as an orgiastic, hedonistic, lovesexy'd hippy. -Mark Jones

I say Lovesexy. The whole "you want me to walk right down your halls" bit
cracks me up to no end, but it's put some hella terrified looks on some
people's faces. - Revox12

What about God? That growl/scream scares me everytime. - Michael Scott

Tamborine or Do U Lie? -[]Ð [] []V[] []Ð

Had U -PinOy2579

Had U is a good one.... Orgasm isn't quite a song, but it certainly gets your attention... - LHoney17

If we can choose any song it would be There's Others Here With Us, if it
has to be a released song I would choose The War for those wacked out
lyrics. - Tigger

Others Here With Us - RayJH

Definitely There's Others Here With Us, a very prophetic song if you ask me. - Lorne

The War or I Wonder U . . . - Deavah

The War / Animal Kingdom :) -Steen
Yep, I think I agree with these choices - Sonuvfunk

Animal Kingdom & Head. If those two don't leave a non-Prince fan bugging out nothing will. - NT Nabawi

And the Winner is...
No clear winner, but The War, There's Others Here With Us and Sister gott 3 votes each.
2 of those tracks R very recent, the 3rd is old Prince material.
This suggests 2 things.
1: The Artist is wierder than Prince.
2: He's getting wierder.

R replies to this question:
JasonR: Scarlet Pussy. ("Somebody gett this meow-meow off my leg.")
JasonT: P Control. The intro, the chorus, everything. I still remember my reaction
2 first hearing this, and I'm a fan! Imagine its effect on a normal person!

How come nobody voted 4 Jack U Off?

August 1998:
How much did U pay 4 your cheapest commercially
released album by The Artist?

We posed this question on alt.music.prince and ripped off most of the above replies.
Our favourite posting was Revox's response 2 Lorne (of the tracked Lovesexy):
Let's all join in with a loud "FUCK YOU!" to Lorne for what, I
would say, would be the steal of the century.
I've had some deals, but none quite that divinely inspired.
Were you in a car wreck the next day or something
(the karmaboomerang and all).

Ksgemini replied to the question with:
I got the Black album free for mailing in my boot to WB.
How much would that bootleg be worth now?

Deavah gets the last word with:
What can we say, some albums were gems, others weren't.
I like 95% of his stuff, so whatever the cost, I must say I'd pay full price everytime.

Apologies 2 every1 whose words we used wthout asking.
Our responses 2 this Question:
JasonR: Retail Batman album, $10 Aust
JasonT: 2nd hand Black Album, $3 Aust

July 1998:
If The Artist wasn't an entertainer, what would he be doing?
