Whoa. Alls I'm saying is sometimes Prince's actions have come across childish, diva-like, and sometimes maybe even spiteful. May or may not be the case here, but I was generalizing. And don't front, cuz' if you were invited you woulda been at that "jinky" party too.

i really wouldnt've gone. celebrity parties ain't my style.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Well on the off chance you get an invite, send it my way, celebrity parties are damn sure my style!!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Same here.

ugh...I HATE it that he's letting jokes like Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, etc.. hang around.

"3121." Could it be the combination to the vault?

Either way, that was a very interesting read. My mouth's watering right now...

Here is excusive pics from people magazine 3121 after grammy party

You would think that PaisleyPark 9 would be a true fan - I guess she works in his NPGMC organisation or something? - but I cannot imagine a true fan would fail to report on important details like what songs were played, how long, band members etc. Hearing about all the celebrities that were there is interesting but not the whole story!

Clearly she is a celebrity-fixated hanger-on. Manolas? Just by mentioning these expensive over-rated celebrity shoes shows what she is like - she obviously does need to watch Sex in the City to have an attitude!

It makes sense why Prince wasn't at the ceremony. This was much more fun. More people were watching "Desperate Housewives" anyway. The Grammys had their lowest rating since 1995.

I love this thread.

PaisleyPark9 didn't post this to the NPGMC, a Club Member by the initials VB sent it to be posted. She has some inside connections (through Mike Scott I think; not sure) and got an invite. Her posts aren't as detailed as they could be, but we're lucky to even get any report about such an exclusive event, I guess.

PaisleyPark9 is also an 'account' that is used by all the moderators at the Club. One day it could be a female and another day, a male. I think Sam Jennings uses that specific account to post more often than the others.

But watching Prince perform new music is mine... If I gotta stand next to Paris Hilton to do so, oh well...lol...

"Unfortunately, the gates to the front door closed before the rest of the guests could get in:
Usher, Goapele, Mos Def, Q-Tip, Beyonce & Jay-Z, Faith Evans, Mekhi Pfieffer, Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, Arsenio Hall, Jaime Foxx, Lawrence Fishburne, Gwen and Gavin, Shakira, John Mayer and Ricky Martin all missed out on "3121 xperience"."

Jestyr said:

Her report was pretty accurate as to what happened, what other details are you looking for? I'm just curious to know.

tinetime said:

I would have liked to see a setlist and more details about this new band Prince has supposedly assembled for one. Two, the complete lyrics to "3121" and a clip.

Jestyr said:

Maceo performed a lot of his songs, sorry I don't the names of them. Prince had a woman come up and the band did a funky rendition of Aretha's "Rock Steady" while Prince played the keyboards. Sorry I can't help you with the lyrics to "3121" but I can say it's a funky song! Hope that helps

He'll get his due...

Geez, are you still upset that Prince didn't show up in person to accept a couple of gold-plated trinkets from an industry that's pretty much ignored him the past 15 years, last year not withstanding.
As far as owing it to the fans, the fans got a phenomonal tour, an excellent CD, an exquisite Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance, a fun Grammy '04 performance, various other TV performances, and basically a whole year of excitement and loads to discuss, praise, criticize, etc.
And if the Grammy voters decide to wait another 15 years or so to acknowledge him again, I don't think Prince will be too bothered about it.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Fuck a celebrity, it ain't about them - it's about Princey! I woulda been all up IN'nat muuufucka

Claps is spoiled. She lives next door to him. If she catches him in the backyard humming she throws rocks @ him, screaming "SAVE IT FOR THE STAGE YA BASTID!!"

And how exactly does this person know who couldn't attend because the gates were closed?

calldapplwondery83 said:

Even more importantly,
Why hasn't anyone noticed that the "reporter" of this story has the initials V.B.?

Very Symbol albumish, don't you think?

CalhounSq said:

Damn, I need to start looking for your posts more often...lol

calldapplwondery83 said:

Good point...

Redayh said:

that's what I've been trying to figure out....it seems to me the writer is more than just a civilian...they are obviously a celeb reporter (IMO) I really don't think it's kirsty alley...but who is it? I can't seem to come up with any celeb reporters with VB....
Valery Bertinelly (sp?) LOL

tinetime said:

Thanks 'time! That was very cool of you. Was the woman named Ashley Ta'Mar and did Frank McComb play any keyboards for her tune?

This all seems so strange to me. P is usually a privite person. Paris Hilton and so on? WTF. Maybe some real musicians, but come on now!
