If it involves the government, be it state or federal, then I don't think Prince would have wanted anything to do with. I'm sure they had proposed that to him before and he declined. It's the only logical reason as to why he hasn't gotten one yet.

Eek, me too. I'm tired and over a lot of today's singers/musicians. I'm in my 30's and I dont' listen much to music of today. In fact, since Prince left us, I've been listening to more 80's and some early 90's.

Beyoncé is the most overrated,most overexposed artist of all time.I think she even has more Grammys than Prince.This is an outrage!

Why does anyone need a day? It's just for that year, and it's just pomp and circumstance. In Minneapolis, every day was Prince day.

Besides, the ink's not dry on her proclamation, or his death certificate, so maybe the feathers should be ruffled so quickly. Not everything has to happen asap.

dont stress , it's just a PR stunt set up by the record company, prob passing on a few free tickets to the local council office in payment..it means nothing.

Great Minds think alike razz http://prince.org/msg/7/426409 I read that there is already a bit of a backlash http://www.thewrap.com/be...-backlash/

Maybe in the future they can have a special day to celebrate Prince's Legacy every year?

But its not so much about the day. Its the principle. Prince is a Legend and Icon but more specifically Prince pretty much innovated and enhanced the music scene down IN Minnesota and has done a lot for the state. Its downright laughable they would give it to Beyonce OVER PRINCE. I mean c'mon. I laughed so hard when I read that bullshit. Beyonce is very overrated to the point its hilarious now. What groundbreaking thing has she done for Minnesota that would warrant her to be celebrated for a day? Ridiculous

I thought the same thing. I was having a conversation and someone asked the question, "since her name is her brand, wouldn't she have to give permission for the state to give her the day?' I don't know if thats true but it's a good question.
