Printable IstenSzek said: Rorywan said: As somebody said earlier, this information from Prince shouldn't be coming through a fan, whoever that may be. It should be posted on his official website for all to see. An official statement, This isn't some album release date been delayed, this is the best part of 100$ being taken out of his fans bank accounts illegally (for the most part it seems). Of course he suddenly wants to talk to us under the medias radar. He will be crucified for this bad press if it gets into the general press.
I for one hope it does.  the only way out of real bad press is if he offers an olive branch of some actual worth, like a bunch of songs. that way, even if the news hits big media outlets, they will also make sure to report that yes, he cocked up, but he was also a big man and made it right by offering people something worthwhile. in the end  He'll issue PFUNK 2.0 Instead of the "F" for fans, the "f" will be for fams! 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: Nikademus said: Exactly! Prince is a "brand" as much as he's a person these days. He has a responsibility to look out for his brand to make sure people keep wanting it. One of the ways is to make sure shit like this does not happen. No none wants to spend their money on your brand if all it's gonna get them is ripped off. Let's put it this way. He was so concerned about his branding that he sued a baby on youtube but then will totally neglect his very own pay music site. Fams need to let go of their excuses forever that Prince has people working for him. Mess up after mess up going back 15 years and he still has no clue that he needs to be more involved. oh well, let him sink. but that baby may grow up to be something more powerful than prince could possible imagine | |

If what you say is true, then the UK is unique. I'm really not interested in arguing about it, believe what you like. it's got nothing to do with believing, that's the way it is. if you want to take the word of a call centre bank operative over mine, then that's your problem. just remember who's staff fucked the world into this recession, and prince doesn't get the blame for that | |

I'm gonna go out in left field on this response, stupid ass chick got caught up using you-tube and involved her lovely baby in it. I do agree that that was trivial on PRN's part to try to sue em. What $ do they have to be sued for? Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

The rest of it - as I previously said, could well be crap. Perhaps my tone was unecessarily hostile, and you're right - it's not a matter of belief. Let's just say it surprises me that the UK system is like that. In Ireland (that's the "whatever country you come from" that I come from) both AIB and Bank of Ireland process direct debits on credit card accounts. That's fact. I'm not going to go into how I know that it's fact, but it's something that I'm sure you can verify easily enough, should you wish to. With regard to fucking the world into this recession, if you're suggesting that the banks are a bunch of cunts who are quite literally robbing us, then we at least have something we can agree on. Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

I still think she was a dumb-ass for it. & no I am not blaming "the victim" but I know better from playing some Prince music and having say ... my son dress up like Prince with the cloud guitar and post it on you-tube. Am I to think I would not have the video removed or have NPG Records or whoever come after me? I know better, that's all I'm sayin' ... Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

1nonly said: you do realize that gavin voluntarily shut down housequake to avoid dealing with the demands that prince and his representatives were asking. In his words, i believe, "It stopped being fun anymore." You're wrong. Gavin didn't shut down Housequake. Gavin was a moderator. The "owner's" name was Aaron; it was his choice to shut it down. (Sorry I posted before seeing that Gav has already clarified this.) . [Edited 3/25/10 16:20pm] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Why anyone joined in the first place is what mystified me.
I had $77 lying around but I waited to see if anything good ever came out of the club - if it had then I would have joined. Why didn't everyone do that ? Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |
