    • other than? i disagreepockets
    • Struggled a lot in US for a big part of his career - fact.fadein11
    • Being black and a bit oo-er obviously didn't help. V.different now obviously.fadein11
    • What are you talking about? He was massive here as well. Beloved.sea_sea
    • fadein...your head is a mile up your ass... past your intestines into your stomach up your esophagus and literally somehow magically coming out your mouth againPonyBoy
    • - fact.PonyBoy
    • <3PonyBoy
    • @ponyboy - he never sold as many records in US as Europe for a big part of his career - do the math, do some research... his music wasn't even played on MTV infadein11
    • early days. Look it up.fadein11
    • nah... the guy was a MONSTER here regardless of record sales. Loved beyond loved very much for the other music he wrote (bengals, sinead etc etc)PonyBoy
    • and ffs... you went racist and whatever 'oo-er' means with your reasoning... seriously—your head is up your ass, fade.PonyBoy
    • Racist!!!??? what the fuck - how dare you. your dumbass biggest TV station refused to play black music for a decade! Fuck you.fadein11
    • never accuse me of racism - do some fucking research.fadein11
    • said you went racist, dickwad... didn't call you one. You immediately jumped on race as the reason for Prince's albums not selling over here...PonyBoy
    • ... you have ZERO PROOF of that being the reason... that and your other 'oo-er' reference (whatever the fuck that is).PonyBoy
    • btw—you're neither a dickwad nor a racist. :) I just don't like you saying Prince didn't sell in the States cuz of his skin color—the generation he played to...PonyBoy
    • ... here in the States was passed that—the executives (our Grandparents at the time) perhaps were not—you have a point. BUT—he meant the world to 'our' genrtionPonyBoy
    • (generation)PonyBoy
    • I agree with pony, maybe the numbers weren't there at the beginning of his career, but he sure as hell was loved.sea_sea
    • Okay - don't deny many would have loved him... sensitive subject and easy to get misunderstood on here as ever...fadein11
