Forgive me but who, on Gods green earth is CJ


CJ is a writer for the Minneapolis newspaper (I forget the name) who is always writing snide, snarky remarks and stories about Prince. Most of the stuff she writes is smug and not all that nice. Listen to the song Billy Jack Bitch...it's about her, Prince even name checks her in it.

(Borrowed from Squirrel Grease's avatar. I'm 99% that is CJ.)
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

i always try NOT to get too up for these things ... no offence Prince ... i dont really wanna hear "lets go crazy" and "purple rain " snippets ... smile

Get over it. Do you listen to Howard? Do you know what the show is about and what the personalities are like?

Keep in mind, if you hadn't heard a new, GREAT Prince song in some time, wouldn't you have a similar reaction? I have to admit that I had a similar reaction - instead of giving Howard a smokin new song, he gives this cover medley?!? While I LIKE it, I think I'd prefer to hear something brand new and just smokin. I really hope he doesn't play this @ the Super Bowl (I have a feeling he won't). Just seems like a strange choice of song to give to Howard since its obvious his camp is trying to make a splash of sorts...

Prince's vocals are the most interesting in these songs.

Robin will be drippin all over her seat if Prince ever shows up there, so don't misread her intentions.

I don't quite know how we got from the announcement of a new download to a new album called 'Guitar' so fast! There's no evidence for that. There's a track called Guitar with new lyrics. Then you have Prince sending this stadium-rock mashup of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower (starting at the 2nd verse it would appear) and the Foo Fighter's Best Of You to foul-mouthed Howerd Stern. Why? The mind boggles. Assuming he is intending to surprise people with these songs at the Superbowl, why ruin the surprise by giving advanced notice? Though it would still be a shock for many Prince doing covers at the Superbowl and new songs... we'll just have to wait and see. A guitar driven rock album from Prince would be the greatest gift you could give me right now, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, Prince rarely follows the obvious, logical route.


imho, here's why he would send this to Stern. The average Joe, beer drinking, football (therefore Superbowl) watching guy is not a Prince fan. Can't tell you how many times while gambling in Vegas, I had some guy asking me "why?" is Prince playing the Superbowl. However, that is the bulk of Howard's audience. Cover of Foo Foo Fighters- a song a lot of guys like, I know my non-Prince fan boyfriend sure does. Get something on Stern the monday b4 Superbowl that the guys like, maybe they'll actually watch the half-time show, or at least not make fun of it. (Friend's husband (who also listens to Howard) is actually going to the Superbowl and has joked with me that he'll be sure to miss the half-time show...)
As far as covers at the Superbowl, I've already predicted he'll do two- "Crazy" with Shelby and "Play That Funky Music White Boy" both of which he is doing in Vegas on a regular basis. That being said, you never know with Prince!
[Edited 1/29/07 8:43am]



this is so inaccurate. You think the people that listen to sterns show are football fans. You think football fans don't know who Prince is? eek Look there are some people who don't get him and never have...but the NFL didn't hire Prince to do the halftime show because they didn't think he was a draw. Shannon Sharpe a former player for the Denver Broncos and baltimore Ravens and currently is a analyst on CBSs pregame show...said and I quote. The only reason I'm going to the SB is because Prince is doing the haltime show" P might not sell records but black folks and a ton of other people know that when P gets up on that stage...he is no joke

You sell Price way to short on this post...and I don't care what some cornball in Vegas said to you.

Dear god... I have seriously done nothing today but sit at the computer, with the new songs on repeat, frantically checking the org and housequake for more updates...


So funny - I did the same thing!

And I really hope he plays this stuff at the superbowl!

I agree. I think Prince is one of the guys on Howard/Robin's wish list of people to someday interview. He has to be in the top 5.

Of course the NFL thinks he's a draw and he is...I never said anything remotely otherwise. I was only talking about Stern fans, period. The original ? was why give this song to Stern. And I never made the jump to say all Stern fans are football fans or vice versa, I was merely referring to Stern's demographics. There's this thing you know, called advertising- commercials turn up in the "right" places. You generally don't see Tampax commercials during a hockey game, or "call 1-800-xxgirls" during a children's program. Why Prince on Stern? Esp. considering the way it was treated- Howard was "bored"? Robin could "care less"?

so what's your theory on why this was sent to Stern instead of one of any other 100 places it could have gone to? Also, I really didn't mean to sound as if I was selling him short, but that others were and do. It wasn't some cornball, it was multiple cornballs every day for 5 days. And believe me, I agree with you on that title for them.

"nothing more nothing less" ? that's it huh? you just know that's THE ONLY reason. confused
sure that's probably a main reason but if you're unwilling to accept there might possibly be any other "sports" connection to a "rock based" audience then there's no point in talking with you about it anymore ...now is there?

its funny where this conversation went ...

i personally was always a fan of Howards ... i did NOT follow him when he went on the "pay for view" Sirius thingy ... but ... i do miss HIM ...

i think it is so COOL that Prince did that ... Howards audience is huge ... and very CLASSIC ROCK oriented .... so while some would scoff ... i think it is cool that he is still open to HOWIE (and his crass humor , etc) wink

Maybe it was on Howard Stern because Sirius "owns" Howard Stern's station and they also launched NFL radio in August 2004. Same parent company.

I think Prince must have taken notice of Howard's very public battle with the FCC and his rejection of mainstream media in the name of his artistic freedom.
