Prince Performing Benefit For Tavis Smiley's State of the Black Union 2009 (Updated) As mentioned in a New Yorker profile last year, media personality Tavis Smiley's State of the Black Union seminar will be hitting the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 28 and none other than PRINCE will be appearing as a special musical guest.
More details as they become available, but for more information on the State of the Black Union event, check out Tavis Smiley's web site: http://www.tavistalks.com...lack-union UPDATE: Prince's performance will be a benefit *FOR* Smiley's event, not *AT* the event... and...according to DrFunkenberry.com, the show will be at the Conga Room In L.A. at the Nokia Center. The show is scheduled to start at 8 P.M. Tix will be $300 (seated) and $150 (standing room general admission) and there is a 4 ticket limit.... | |

the last tavis/prince rendezvous was excellent!  To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |

These were the details I last heard:
PRINCE CONCERT The FORUM 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90305 TIME: 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P. M. Tickets: $TBD Not surprising that Prince will support his friend Tavis... but interesting since the State of the Black Union events usually focus on politics and public policy, neither of which line up with Prince's recent apolitical stances. [Edited 2/24/09 19:32pm] "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

He knows what's up.
I might go to the SOBU, I just told my dad, and he's considering it. I didn't mention P, though. 
I need to figure out the details on that, first. I'd be happy just to go to Tavis' forum, though. I wonder whose gonna be there? Cornell West, please. God, Please. [Edited 2/24/09 21:05pm] | |

Is there anyone on this site, in this forum, that lives near Orange County, CA? My Prince partner moved away and I would hate to go alone to these concerts that are so nearby. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks. | |

[Edited 2/24/09 19:32pm] Don't know much about SOBU but as I understand it, as a jw he's against voting not necessarily politics. On the contrary he seems to have stronger than ever views on political issues (still confused views, but strongly confused), especially on race etc. you're absolutely correct he does have apolitical stances which may clash with him performing on this show...should prove to be interesting "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

Princemay not vote but I dont see him as apolitical. The rainbow children is full of race and other issues. Not voting for Prince is a belief that a party cannot resolve those issues-that man is being placed before God. Don't agree with it but I feel that is where Prince is coming from | |

This is Prince at his most hypocritical best!!!!! He doesnt vote due 2 his JW beleifs, yet hes performing at a political, and even racial, event!!!! In my mind, if hes doing something like this, then he might just as well go all out and vote!!!!
It just makes me wonder, just how much he is being paid for this event, cos after all, the only REAL God in his life is the Almighty Dollar!!!! Hey Prince!!! Would Jesus do something like this??? I doubt it!!!!! | |
