any comments on this?

during his 'turn off the teevee' bit of 'come together'. he specifically said 'turn off sky news'

hehe. i'm no fan of sky...but i'm not sure why he'd do that immediately after cutting some deal with them?

well he could have been being funny, he could have been making a slightly political gesture... the murdoch companies aren't exactly known for being fair and balanced..

also - Am i in the minority that thinks prince giving away his album thru the mail on sunday... was a piece of genius? Not for business motives but because he got a right wing newspaper to put out an album whose title track is an anti war/pro ecology song.. and THEY paid him to do it...


I think a similar thing might have gone on here.

I don't think Prince likes doing this publicity stuff for TV, but think he also wanted to prove something, even though I'm sure he does'nt feel the need to, deep down. He can out perform anyone, and is a talented genius. The Sky thing was something that could show the whole world what he's capable of. But 3121, Indigo was for real fans, Prince in the raw, get rid of the cameras, this is what we've come here for. He can also say what he likes after the deal's been done,the footage has gone out, end of story.

it was probably to remind people that they are only streaming for two songs, just in case anyone dare try to copy anything more than that.
2 songs was the deal.

Just a cheeky reference I'm sure.....he does have a sense of humour, as we know

haleno1 said:

we called our son during that and he said they only played 1 so maybe he knew that theyd gone back on the deal!!!

syble said:

No, he did two songs Feel for U and Controversy

syble said:

yep definately 2 songs

how's your nan, garrybaldy?

Do we really care? Why are you trying to start something?

???

syble said:

they showed i feel 4 u and controversy

he talked a bout a lot of stuff in 'come together'

as the crowd sang the 'come together ...yeeeaaaaa' he sang bits inbetween, eg Prince:'we need our families to...'
Crowd:'come together ...yeaaa' etc

i don't think it's that controversial to say tv/the fools lantern/sky are responsible for alot of the ills in the world!

'Don't let your children watch television, until they know how to read, or else all they'll now how to do is cuss and fight and breed!

'whospapers and skagazines' etc

slightly off topic but i was listening to the main show on the radio as i drove to the 02 to go to the aftershow someone had but the microphone to the TV very naughty but was great to hear it though someone though controversy was i would die 4 u

Maybe he really is just a hypocrite or maybe he was just trying to be funny.

hehe, just seemed silly and unneccesarily provocative. but whilst we're on the subject, is there an official list of things we can't mention?
