Twitter Sunday: Fav. Tweets @PRINCE_OFFICIAL


Twitter Sunday: Favorites Tweets @PRINCE_OFFICIAL

 

For this new Twitter Sunday rendezvous, we will share with you the tweets from a great singer. His name is Prince Rogers Nelson, a.k.a Prince. We were very happy to follow him when he started to tweet a few days ago but the pleasure didn’t last very long… Instead of interesting tweets about his work or even his daily life, we got hundreds of tweets and retweets polluting our Twitter page,  messing with all the others tweets we were following…

 

The reason? Prince was so happy to tweet, he asked everyone to tweet and retweet: ‘#Prince is now on twitter spread the word!! @PRINCE_OFFICIAL rt’. You can read on his twitter page dozens and dozens of messages such as (originally in caps lock…):

 

First 10 fans that send me a message with #prince in it i will rt thank u

Do my fans have anything to say? i will rt the first 10 fans with comments thank u

When i get 6000 followers i will follow 5 more fans thank u support!!! #prince is now on twitter spread the word!! @prince_official rt

Im going to follow the first five fans who rt follow @prince_official

Support!!! #prince is now on twitter spread the word!! @prince_official rt

I need my fans support!!! #prince is now on twitter spread the word!! rt follow @prince_official rt thank u

………..

 

Now you understand why the tweet frenzy (he already sent near 400 tweets!) and the retweet craziness surrounding his arriving on Twitter… We were quite exasperated about it and we even thought about stop following him for a while. Among all these self-promotion tweets, we eventually found out some more interesting tweets, inspired and a little bit ‘philosophical’ about what music means to Prince, and we are sharing them with you.

 

Here they are, selected tweets posted during the last 24 hours:

 

There are times when silence has the loudest voice

Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world,

then it can only happen through music
about 20 hours ago

 

Music expresses that which cannot be said and

on which it is impossible to be silent

If you want to make beautiful music, you must play

the black and the white notes together
about 21 hours ago

 

If you look deep enough you will see music;

the heart of nature being everywhere music

Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an idea of love

To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself,

incredible and inconceivable.
3:15 PM Feb 5th

 

We hope Prince will keep tweeting in a more interesting way, and share more about his work, music and projects than just promoting his Twitter page. We grew up with Purple Rain, Sign o’ the Times, Diamonds and Pearls… But please, stop the tweet spam!

 

You can follow him @PRINCE_OFFICIAL.
