....bit presumptious! Fair enought you might feel conned, and there's probably plenty who agree with you, but don't claim to speak for everyone. | |

Echo what has already been said - your opinion but certainly not mine and probably not most of "we the british fans". Keep the faith, I'm still confident he will play! | |

I don't feel conned at all. Was hopeful and that is all. Don't presume that everybody feels the same way. He's aloud to come over and do what he wants, he recorded some stuff and went home. Move on. Next. She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Okay this is getting bitchy, probably best to lock this thread. All thoughts, news and opinions concerning Prince in London should be posted in this thread http://prince.org/msg/12/400590 I got two sides... and they're both friends. | |

I don't feel conned, he never promised us anything. I was hoping he was going to do something, and though it doesn't seem like it now, I'm sure he'll be over sooner or later. Hundalasiliah! |

Definitions
“A racket is an unproductive way of being or acting that includes a complaint that something
shouldn’t be the way it is.” Some notes on rackets: - A human being will trash their life to say “see what you did to me.” Rackets suck the life out of
life.
- In reality the racket has nothing to do with other people specifically (though we often think it
does). That person is simply the latest victim.
- Rackets are often a private conversation in your head.
- Rackets come from a limited view of the world/people – everyone’s view is limited, but, really- With a racket, you setup shop; it is a consistent and recurring experience. Not a one off -
that’s a story. Stories can be equally damaging, even as a single occurrence.
consider, what’s stopping us from being open to an alternative view?
When we run rackets, we do it for a reason (the payoff for ourselves), and with that we also incur costs to a happier, healthier life...see some examples.
Payoffs (Avoiding Responsibility)
Our crack or heroin – it’s an addiction Being right/Someone else being wrong
To dominate/Avoid domination
Self-justify/Invalidate others
I Win/You Lose
Costs (Aliveness)
What we lose and strive for in life
Love/Affinity Self-expression
Vitality/Well-being
Satisfaction/Happiness

£2000 to go from UK to Netherlands and see Prince play? I'm off on a 2 week holiday to Florida soon and it's just about cost me that much. Do you fly first class and stay in 5 star hotels? | |

he didn't con anybody. there was a tweet that simply said something, something London. We as fans of his music of course hope he would do a show, but there was nothing solid to go on...just hope and speculation.

perhaps it was just a tweet test
now they realize they can tweet something about a show or whatever and reach more people than this website does and more than funkenberry does
and if he does play London - people will be a little more ready now so maybe it was just a heads up | |

Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard the commentary about kids these days and how entitled they are right? Well, here's some more proof of that! You are in your teens right?

You paid 2000 quid. And some think I am crazy. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Maybe, he is/was in town to formalise the Small Venues Tour - that has been doing the rounds. | |

To be fair I think that's relative - we don't know his circumstances, if money was not an obstacle would I pay £2000 to see Prince? Hell yeah I would. | |
