I love Prince, but he done lost his damn mind.

So what?

The so what is you won't have to rejoin, Miss Einstein. It'll be A U T O-matic. The continued fleecing of of you.

I'm not complaining because I knew better than to join, so I didn't. I'm just pointing out the big ass elephant in the room that some of y'all refuse to acknowledge is there, when you're busy cheerleading how he's honored the agreement.

As for begging for content, that's for people without friends. Not a problem that I have.

But, you still take the content WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT, which makes you a low-life common thief. It cracks me up how you 'haters' get all uppity thinking you're so clever/smart by not joining, but still stealing the material.

As for me being "Miss Einstein", it's real hard to figure out that when/if it comes time to renew, that all we'll have to do is change the account info on LF. I'll be happy to rejoin if there's new stuff, but I kind of doubt that it will go past this first year.

I haven't taken anything from the LF website without paying for it. Most of the stuff on LF is stuff I already had and already paid for. The remaining stuff is nothing I want and what I want most definitely ain't on the LF site. If it makes me "uppity" for choosing not to pay for something that I've already paid for, so be it.

I've been crystal clear since March that if something worthwhile was added, I'd jump at joining. Yet, here we are in December and I haven't been moved into joining.

Do I think that makes me so clever and smart? Ya damn skippy!

I'm not trying to gloat but you keep trying to make it personal by attempting to attack my character, when it's not my character you need to be addressing. I'm not the one with the dysfunctional website and already enabled access to your banking information.

I've noticed those on the bowieart site. For a couple of hundred dollars you can get a numbered, limited edition print signed by Bowie himself.

I'm a collector of limited edition rock art prints but the Prince ones seem to be a very poor investment.

My girlfriend is a fan of Placebo and they are selling a fully signed print for £35 at the moment whilst a few years ago I bought a limited edition signed Brian Wilson print from his website for 40 bucks. I have also heard that on the current Paul Weller tour they are selling signed prints of his 22 Dreams artwork for £75... it all makes the prices for these prints of Prince seem very excessive.

I'm also a collector. I purchased some prints from bowienet, Awesome deal. High quality stuff. One year they sold calendars signed by Bowie and Mick Rock, I believe for like $35, I know it wasn't much and was very happy with the deal.

I've also bought some prints from Santana that were signed ($75 - and about the size of the GBridge prints). He is a legend now and gone..I got some signed photos from Johnny Cash for I believe $90 each? I may purchase the Placebo poster. I'm not a huge fan but like some of the albums. The Paul Weller prints sound awesome.

I would like to get some signed prints from Graham Coxon (Blur), I believe they are a little pricey but I love the artwork.

If the Prince prints drop to around $500 I may think about it.

I forgot to mention...www.newburycomics.com - I've purchased some big names - signed cd covers from them. They are also reputable. One of the best record stores on the east coast. I watch them every few days. When they have big releases signed they sell out in a couple days usually..

^^ Yes, there were fans watching the show live. Wow, that was a great live feed on the DrFunkenberry site. Did anyone else watch it? There was close to 60 on the chat while the show was live.

Lucky for Anthony Malzone who works for Prince, and got to share some of his stories on how he and Prince collaborated with the artwork. He said the 7 doves in the MPLSound cd was Prince's idea as well as the jellyfish. I like how Anthony stated that Anthony said Prince went right into the studio after he saw how the jellyfish looked on the draft of the artwork for the site, and wrote Disco Jellyfish the same night. It was nice to hear that he is working with Prince. Anthony's mom is so cool, and was so elated that she got to meet Prince. She said he was very charming and gracious.

I have to hand it to DrFunkenberry.com for putting that together and thanks to Sara the host. She did a good job.

You can still go to the Drfunkenberry.com site and watch the recorded version.

Oh yeah, artwork for the DVD was mentioned too. That's possibly good news.

i am going to be there tomorrow, just for the fun of it, if any other orgers are going to be there, let's meet up.

He has enough leeway, that's why he takes advantage of his fans, many of whom have a limited income.

Ok, agree Lotusflow3r doesn't spoil us as we are used to. But cause things are slow, doesn't make me think we will not get more in future. Prince will always produce music. Maybe we are too greedy, and he decides to give "no more candy" (quote of this song): Too much haters on the internet !!!

But did all artists above produce about 40 albums since 1978. Look at your CD and VHS/DVD collection, we've got lot of exclusives.

Crystal Ball; Chocolate invasion, C-Note, Xpectation, The slaughterhouse, 11 1-hour audioshows, loads of weekly video's en downloads during npgmc; we've got frontrow-tickets, we've got acces to soundchecks and aftershows. CD's for free at concerts, concerts on TV, exclusive vinyl releases.

Maybe if we back off a little the man will step forward again. I hope and trust on that

((((IF YOU'LL BE PATIENT THERE MAYBE MORE ON THE WAY))))!!!!! ::After you unlock the combo the website states, {{That combo will unlock the ability to subscribe to LotusFlow3r.com, get his new albums, see loads of photos and videos, and have access to pre-sale concert tix, all for a annual fee of $77.}}

i watched the art opening streaming live...and it was awesome! thank you dr funk...and sara for doing a killer job on the interview <3

anthony seems cool...and if he and p make some $ cool....but yeah...im not feeling the pricetags quality on these at all original painting? maybe i would consider 1k..and even then it would be tough for most anyone to swing...but at least would be considerable..

i dunno...there was high energy in that gallery...i think the work is being received well..and its clear theres a certain synergy happening between the 2 artists...

Just watched the opening.
Anthony seems like a cool dude. The lady interviewing folk did a good job.
