did you know this thing about prince

when asked in 2004 rolling stone interview about tom petty prince said:

About Tom Petty: "It was an honor to play with Tom Petty (at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ceremony). "Free Fallin'" is one of my favorite songs. I used to love whenever he would come on MTV, because you knew you were going to get a great tune. MTV isn't like that anymore."

no i'm not ..just stating that tom's cataloge isn't as massive as prince's and prince could have capitalized on the success of 3121 but chose 2 do the same songs he's done on tv 4 over 25 years.yawn at least petty's set made sense and would have been even more woot! if he had done "don't come around here no more"

superbowl was a statement for prince look at the song choices.prince wanted to deliver a messege with those songs and it was smart move and because of all the fact including tehnical difficulties it will remain as the best superbowl performance ever,no way can anybody top that.

maybe first [part until baby im a star wasn'so great but part where he blands all along the watchtower with best of you is part where prince gets in the zone.

Prince really appreciates true talent and musicianship -- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (love them or hate them) represent just that.

John Mayer played Free Fallin' on his last album. Plays a meaner guitar than Prince too.

That's so true...anyone that has had the opportunity to be loved by Prince or near him as he was working for the sake of a song or a concert or a project, must sincerely feel very grateful.
