Is Prince upset with things right now?

he had sound problems with the shows in L.A.

he did not hit number one (missed it by that much!)

his videos are not on tv

his songs are not on the radio (unless you count Minneapolis)

the opening of the website was a bust so the membership is probably not very high and the reviews have been less than favorable

then on Tavis he mentioned he was "coming home soon" when talking to Larry and Tina, etc.

makes me wonder if he is just going to lay low for a while and forget about everything - including the website - which leaves us out in the cold (but i do not think he cares anymore)

I think it just shows that he has more important priorities.

Well... thats a way to point out all the negative things. but really, he has alot to be thankful for and as he said in his interview, hes very happy in his life right now. maybe the non-chalant attitude you are sensing is coming from a place of peace and contentment rather than a place of bitterness and dully accepted disappointment from all that you mentioned.

after all, its not like this is his first time dealing with small disappointments like that. its only one of many things that hes had to deal with and im sure by now hes figured that part out.

about him not being played on the radio or t.v. i always wondered what the deal was but i see its because he is running the show. although i respect his talk about being "free", its kind of working against him instead of in his favor. I mean, i dont know why hes not being pushed on the radio and places like mtv, (not that i can even stand mtv) but what a difference it would make in his sales if people (not just us 'undergrounders') knew about his album. theres alot of people who dont even know hes 'back out' and as soon as they found out they wanted to go buy his album. prince, what gives???

I think he's going back home to Minneapolis with Bria, settles down and gets the family he wanted for so long. It's going to be his best years ever, when he can do whatever he wants to, and when he wants to do it. I think it's going to be quiet around here, though...neutral

he was just saying hello to Larry and then he said "i'll be home soon.....having fun here" etc. maybe he is just going to escape the summer heat of l.a.

and i am not trying to point out the negative things really....just looking for reasons prince may not care about the website any longer

So Larry is still very much in the picture. I knew it! I don't think he cared about the website at all. IMHO, I personally think, it was just a quick way to raise funds for his faith which is exactly why I won't join. shrug

I think this is just part of being an artist that has been around for such a long time.

Things change, you just don't get the airplay you used to.

Hopefully it won't affect him too much and he'll keep his pecker up.

He's not short of fans who appreciate the music, so I think that makes things better.

Answer: Sh!t happens.

he did not hit number one (missed it by that much!)

Answer: Very little promotion, small distribution deal, no major label and Prince is not relevant to Pop consumers which is not a bad thing. He's number #1 at the bank and thats what matters.

his videos are not on tv

Answer: He said he actually gave them to MTV for them to play. Does any channel actually play videos anymore? I mean, other than at 11pm-5am.....

his songs are not on the radio (unless you count Minneapolis)

Answer: Again, no promotion, no singles, no major label backing him (which he also said). Who cares, they won't play him anyways.

the opening of the website was a bust so the membership is probably not very high and the reviews have been less than favorable

Answer: He doesn't like to spend money and he's a minimalist when it comes to releasing anything. The bare minimum will entice the fans! Well some of them fell into it...again he's number #1 at the bank. that's all that matters.

then on Tavis he mentioned he was "coming home soon" when talking to Larry and Tina, etc.

Answer: He's got his divorce settlement/alimony money so he's #1 at the bank! Prince is doing fine, he's making music, he's financially well off. He has the support of friends and family. I'm sure he's happy, of course he probably does have times where he's made at situations, but he's old enough to just go with the flow and not let things get to him...not for too long. You shouldn't bother worrying about him. He's better off that you are!

Yeah, but he owns his masters... and can put out whatever music he feels like, when he feels like and how he feels like.. worth it in my opinion.

I think that what matters to me the most is the music and his performances. For me, I don't think there could ever be a repeat or matching of the NPGMC site/days, just because Prince's music meant something different to me back then. As much as the old philosophy articles that Prince published were leaning towards his (then) new spiritual bent, just like now, I liked them so much, not because he was speaking THE truth, but because he was speaking HIS truth.

Then again, like Prince says, "rather than reminisce I'm tellin' ya it's time for a brand new scene.

Thank you. Why does it even matter? Prince isn't done promoting this thing cause if there's nothing else, there Jay Leno again on May 28th. If he's upset, we more than likely won't know, nor should it be any of our concern.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

*I think he's going back home to Minneapolis with Bria,


I think that would be a mistake. She called this album elevator music ... it's her very first album ...Prince put together for her. It's a beautiful body of work. But she calls it elevator music. That's not a just dumb joke. Somethings wrong.

there seems to be some other weirdness going on to. something not right there with that. Sure she has a beautiful face and a nice voice. She can carry a tune
as they say, but who is this Raul person? And why are they're org notes flying around ..whose actually stating/pretending to be P...saying that P bought her a mercedes, and Raul hid it from her etc etc etc. ? Maybe its somebody clowning around and unrelated, or maybe it's a preview of whats shes really all about.
it wasn't so much as what what said...but the way it was done. very deceptive, very spiteful, and very confusing. Strange. What was the purpose of all that?

*settles down and gets the family he wanted for so long.

Yes, agreed. I've always said that "he has a right to have a family of his own", from way back even. From when he first got married.

*It's going to be his best years ever, when he can do whatever he wants to, *and when he wants to do it. I think it's going to be quiet around here, *though...neutral

Jesus fucking Horatio Christ. There are some snippy responses up in here. I swear, some folks on this site would toss Prince's salad in a heartbeat if they thought that would satisfy the Paisley Messiah.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
