why do we care? isnt that for his friends and family to worry about?

I seem to recall a post saying he apologised to waiting fans when he had a sore throat and couldn't perform an aftershow and the indigo during 21 nights.

JesusFreak said:

this statement is a contradiction

If he believes in Jesus, then the 'could care less' is a issue, and if he believes in Jesus... Jesus spoke much about offending others, making things right, 'how can you love God whom uv never seen and hate your brother who u see ...if u think your brother has an issue against u... love thy neighbor as thyself, if anyone offends the least of these it would be better to hang a milestone around your neck and be cast in the sea, be not deceived God is not mocked whatever a man sows that shall he also reap and it goes on and on and on...

In This Bed I Scream, dedicated 2 Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman was a kind of an apology

So no more Pronce paintings/drawings or dining room shrines?

JesusFreak said:

Spectacularly inane comment. Also, I've never understood why people say "could care less." You mean, he's not quite as unappreciative as he could be? Surely you mean "couldn't care less."

WTF are you going on about the UTCM interview for? What accent are you hearing?
Was it a good interview hell no but you must have serious hearing problem if your hearing a weird accent.

Anyway he did apologize for the "slave comments" Saying he did not mean to offend any past slaves or future slaves.

I think you meant an '85 interview. He had been asked about sexism in purple rain and he did say "if that was the case, then I'm sorry, it was not the intention."

"it was a good interview"


Well, one can't reason with insanity so I'll just say :

I don't think, and can't imagine Prince apoligising for anything, here or elsewhere, never!! pfff, he's just too "egocentric" person!!

hey wake up everybody, at last P is in this empty room..where are U? cause and effect..oups

PurpleDiamond2009 said:

This is the only time I can think of as well.

I heard a paisley park boot where he apologized for the air conditioning not working, in performance I think i can recall him apologizing to God on the purple rain tour during a piano medley, and at the end of temptation, he apologized for bitch slapping Appolonia and for "lying" on the back of an album cover, I think.

he never meant 2 cause us NY sorrow

Well good for New York but what about the rest of us!?

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say Prince was very excited about the entire LotusFlow3r project (website, albums, appearances). I can picture him realistically expecting 100,000+ fans joining the site at $77 each, and then he'd release a lot of material on us because he'd feel it was being paid for (at the level he expected to be paid). At $7.7 Million, you could almost guarantee that he'd feel monetarily justified in releasing lots of music to us.

HOWEVER - if only 10,000 people signed up (which seems more likely), that's $770,000 -- not bad, but nowhere near enough for him to release exclusive music to us . . . music that would most likely hit the torrents the very same day. Prince knows to get his money UP FRONT for any venture - funding his projects at once and also offsetting any monetary loss from pirating.

To put it simply, the amount of memberships did not offset the perceived value of what he was planning to offer. So, the fans who did sign up (including me) lost out. It seems the actual amount of memberships did not even warrant ONE exclusive album. It also did not cover the cost of a live broadcast concert from Prince's home. Again, this is only a theory but after what Clay said it makes sense.

I'm sure not hitting #1 with the LotusFlow3r set also contributed to him losing interest.

don't cast U'r negative NRG upon me!!

TheVoid said:

Not in words, but by his actions.

To make a long story short; On April 22, 1995, I was at Paisley Park and invaded Prince's space to ask him a question. His bodyguard twisted my arm behind my back. I threatened the guard before turning towards Prince and said, "If it weren't for people like me, you would be a one hit "Soft and Wet" wonder. And I know your momma taught you to answer a person when you are asked a question."

Prince ran up the stairs at Paisley. His bodyguard and brother Duane apologied to me in words. Prince continued to see me at his Paisley Park gigs during the Summer of '95. I would smirk at him and he would smirk at me. On October 28-30, 1995, Prince cast me in a video, One video the world has seen, the other is in his vault.

Putting me in a video was Prince's way of saying, "I apologize for not responding to your question six months ago." I accepted his apology with open arms. Which I felt was more of a gift, than an apology. Many people don't use words. They use actions. Prince is a man of action.

What the hell does he have to apologize for? He's a musician, he doesn't owe anyone anything.

I astonishes me that people think just because they buy a couple of CD's and go to a couple of shows that they're entitled to something!!!

Then they always bring out the "If it wasn't for the fans, where would you be" line. As if that person wouldn't be where they are if it wasn't for this one single person that listens to their music!

That's the problem with fans, they think they know the person their following. Within the past week or two, there's been people here pretending to be Prince's accountant, his lawyer, his Dr, his psychiatrist, and his parent.

None of us know him, so why should he apologize to people he's doesn't known?

It ain't that serious, man. It's just music. Save you tears for something that's actually important.

Paris9748430 said:

I agree for the most part, though the web site seemed like a bit of a ripoff

Paris9748430 said:

Honey, I only cry over important things. I've been laughing my ass off over the whole debacle and am playing PFUNK while holding a mirror to Paisley Park

vitriol said:

I think Prince is answering to greater beings than most of us can imagine. If he's sorry, he's got to be REALLY sorry. Like for being ambitious, dishonest, materialistic, and ignorant. Things his soul will have to answer to. He should apologise for changing his name back to Prince. He should have stuck with the symbol, if he only knew how close he was to the truth by changing his name to an un-pronouncable symbol, much closer than by becoming a Jehovah's witness!!!
