Funny. It's Gay Pride DC this weekend. Last year the parade lasted four hours. The downtown area will be crowded. Headed to the area? Have a plan for parking!

George wrote it. Prince co-wrote The Big Pump on the album.

Not according to the credits. He had limited input on George's Paisley Park albums.

Well I hope the secret service doesn't allow any maniacs to run into the WH while Princey is there.

I also hope the Prez doesn't try to dance again.... disbelief

I wonder if Cornel West will be invited? evillol

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Well at least he doesn't just run into the WH all willy-nilly without being invited.

Let's just hope he makes no comments other than thank you and keeps his thoughts about burkas and such to himself. lol

PBS usually airs these performances the following week. Last year Jesse Johnson was there. I sure hope they show this one.

I'm guessing it was the first lady's idea. I think she's the Prince fan in the family. biggrin

Trying (and failing) to score tickets to Prince’s two “surprise” shows at the Warner Theatre on Sunday? We’ve got good news: the Purple One is rumored to be adding another secret set to his Washington tour stop. Oh and some bad news: You probably won’t get into that performance either.

Whispers have been swirling since Thursday morning that Prince will be performing at the White House on Saturday as part of 1600 Penn.’s African-American Music Appreciation Month celebration. The White House has remained tight-lipped about the covert concert, most likely happening in the East Room where Stevie Wonder, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, John Legend and Justin Timberlake have all performed in the past.

The VVIP invite list is super tight, we’ve been told, but expect to spy Obama besties, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone, in the packed house. Other bigwigs forcing their assistants to hit refresh on the Live Nation Web site all day will most likely be disappointed when word gets around that the list for Prince’s White House performance has long since been vetted and closed.

“The last thing they want is for folks to start stalking about [for] invitations,” said one person who wasn’t “important enough” to get a golden ticket.

My wish came TRUE! This was an HISTORIC event!!!!

To Whom It May Concern:President Barack Obama is a lowkey, undercover prince fan, he was dancing and rocking to prince when I attended The Naacp Awards back in 2005.

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

LOL, I had a feeling that Rev. was gonna be there. He's a regular at the WH and he mentioned having a long convo w/ P when he was in NY for Welcome2America.

Dear Brother West must be seething right about now... evillol


Wonderful year for Princey! I sure hope they broadcast this on PBS.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.
