Is it so bloody hard to POST A DIRECT LINK? http://www.drfunkenberry....enorisity/ And yet in the other thread someone claims the Target ad is always on TV. And didn't Prince just do three gigs on Leno's show? The reason radio ain't playing him is because he ain't relevant. And the reason for that is because he ain't making good music anymore. Too see Tavis pimping Prince's new disc just because Prince gave him $225,000 : pathetic. How much did Prince make from the recent LA gigs? Wasn't that $5 million? So Prince gave Tavis 5% of what he made from ONE NIGHT. And in addition, later this month Prince is scheduled to be a guest on my
television show on PBS to discuss his CD and the challenges facing independent music artists pursuing their right to self-determination. Hey Tavis, I hope you'll also talk to Margie Cox about that subject. Or the members of The Family. Or the members of The Time. But I bet you won't because that would upset your "friend". omg... ur mother never kissed u did she? We are all so full of  here | |

Me and my friends were there at the Conga Room that night and it was worth every penny!!! Prince was generous for a good cause but I had no idea he matched the proceeds! Tavis is cool for making that statement. This interview will be a good one. I cant wait to hear Prince talk on TV again! | |

I remember waiting in line at the Vegas 3121 aftershow. Staff at the Jazz Cuisine was setting the restaurant up for the show. They were all about to take our $50. Next thing I see Tavis next to me. I acknowledge his presence and all he says to me is "where is the aftershow?" so I told him. Seemed like a man on a mission.
After another hour of waiting in line, we were all told that Prince cancelled the aftershow so he could have a private party back at his apartment with friends. Thanks Tavis!! You lucky MF! They are good friends I believe. | |

that's true. but then again, it could be because nothing has been sent to radio stations to play  | |

And without the benefit of the teeny, apartheid, dumbed-down radio system. Tavis knows a revolutionary when he sees it. | |

Yeah, cuz Margie Cox, the members of the Family & the Time have no ability to form their own bands under their own names and write their own music and put it out independently or with a major music label... That makes a lot of sense. Bart you stun me again with your brilliance. How do you do it?  Margie Cox WAS NOT ALLOWED to release ANYTHING because Prince was holding her hostage. © Bart Van Hemelen

PEJ said: you're funny Bart. You give Prince too much credit.
the article says they raised $225,000 not Prince donated at least that is what I read. Read again. I know that's hard for a lot of fams, but it clearly states that Prince matched the $225,000 they raaised. PEJ said: And how did Prince make 5 million at the last 3 LA shows when tickets were $77 dollars and between the three shows approximately less than 10,000 people attended. If Prince sold 10,000 tickets at $77.00 that = $770,000 not 5 million unless of course Target payed him that then they would be the idiots not Prince or Tavis.
It wasn't 5, it was 3. That was the number Prince mentioned during one of the gigs. And yes, it still makes Tavis an idiot, because he's pimping Prince's disc in exchange for a fraction of what Prince made on one evening. © Bart Van Hemelen

I like to watch P on Tavis. I think he tries his best to be honest with Tavis and knows that Tavis will not disrespect him by trying to create a spectacle in a tabloid fashion.
