i misread u. i thought u were thinking poor prince is going 2 be snookered by this hustler. i also think andy is very ambitious. she raised her own money 2 produce her first album at age 20 which was the same age prince was when he produced his first album. i think he sees some of himself in her. i am impressed with her songwriting. i think she has a punchers chance in a brutal industry. | |

i think he means well but he also has his ways. i was in awe of what he did 4 tamar davis. in 2006, he went on a mini tour with her & the show was advertised tamar featuring prince. essentially 1 of the greatest live performers in history became the lead guitarist 4 an unknown that he believed in. it was tricky because every1 was coming 2 see him but he humbled himself 2 give her a chance at stardom. although tamar got glowing reviews on the tour, her album was never released & she didnt blow up. but i applaud prince for how hard he tried. i was privileged 2 see the show when it came 2 a small venue in atlanta called the tabernacle. | |

exactly. he must have had about 50 different people in his bands over the years & while its sad 2 see some go, it gives some1 else a chance for some time in the spotlight. & 4 those who have 2 leave, it looks quite nice on ur resume 2 say u played with prince. also he has produced 100s of songs for proteges & other artist. his generosity is 2 good 2 be true. | |

Yes, especially someone of his caliber! I would be beside myself to even have a minute of his time!!! That man is just simply THE MAN! | |

You know I thought about this and you're right. For those who have left it's freak'n awesome for them so say "You know Prince let me go but at least I was good enough to play for him" Prince is an awesome musican with an awesome band and you have to be awesome enough to back him up. You know if Ida or John or Andy ever leaves (which i hope they don't) they're going to have a job on the spot because playing with Prince is like playing with the king. | |

miles davis, one of prince's huge influences was famous 4 constantly changing bands. when u have a genius musical mind, the nuances of new players opens up ur creativity and that is what prince is all about. obviously, the successes of a band doesn't play into his decision making-if that were the case the revolution would still be 2gether. the secret 2 why prince has been able 2 do 30 albums in 30 years is that new members refresh him. prince isnt about holding any1 back. ida,john & andy have all done solo albums. in a perfect world they would blow up on their own. prince would be delighted 4 them & they could still collaborate from time 2 time. | |

Is Andy good? I've heard people say that she's not that good...that she just basically stands there looking pretty, while pretending to play guitar. I hope that's not the case :/ | |

I think I would do the same, keeps things interesting | |

i think andy's greatest talent is her songwriting , next is her musical vision and then her vocal prowess. she is adequate & improving on the guitar. not everyone can have all of prince's gifts as they are such that may never be duplicated. think about it: he could captivate an audience if all he did was sing, he could captivate an audience sitting at the piano the entire show,he could captivate just playing the guitar only, he could captivate only playing the bass, he could captivate being a bandleader: only singing some of the time,dancing & being a comedic foil. if u could captivate any of those 5 ways,u can have a long career. when u can do all 5 brilliantly,u get 2 be prince. sade is 1 of my favorite artist ever. she isnt close 2 a virtuoso on guitar but i would never tell her not 2 play because she isnt-i applaud her 4 using the guitar 2 express herself sometimes. | |

Shoot, Prince can captivate just by standing there looking at the audience I would pay just to see the man just stand there lol
Hey, well at least Andy has a great teacher! If I was her I would soak up anything Prince would teach me. | |

at a few shows this summer, with the anxious crowd expecting 2 see prince,he let her open the show with him joining the band at the end of the song or on song #2 or #3. on the 1 hand ur happy 2 do it but on the other hand how would u like 2 be out there when some people had waited a decade or more 2 c prince & ur performance was making them wait a little longer. that is baptism by fire. | |

yeah what's it worth if most don't appreciate you being there and just came to see prince. I think that's the case with a lot of his proteges and dancers. "they're distracting me from Prince" is what I hear a lot. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
with prince,the distractions r part of the deal. u will be 1 frustrated girl or boy if u have no love 4 his band members. prince in concert is like magic johnson or larry bird on the basketball court:they could be virtuoso scorers but they insist on finding creative ways 2 assist their teammates. the resulting synergy wins championships/makes a band tight. in a game/concert u don't know how or who will rock u, just that u will be rocked. | |

I wouldn't mind hearing the band members do their thing, but more Prince the better! | |

even while prince is allowing members their space, there is never any doubt who the supernova is on the stage. typically,the more numbers his singers do, the longer the show is so that u always get ur 2 hour just prince fix. | |

DID &Y TRIP UP AT THE TD GARDEN-11-14-11(A FUTURISTIC FANTASY)
i tried to tell &y if u want 2 keep ur man, dont let them 2 (nikka costa & ruthcass) be any closer than hollerin distance from prince. yet at the td garden on a purple manic monday in november, when it was time 2 bring an audience member on stage 2 dance with prince , &y made a bee line 4 ruth & handed her 2 prince seemingly shooting herself in the foot. people have been known 2 feel the electricity when prince touches them as sheryl crow has confessed. but in a twist of fate,it was prince who felt the electricity run through his body when ruth & he were dancing close & slow.(ruth was no kim kardashian) prince became undone by the shocking encounter & all he could think about was who is she ,whats her story & when can i see her again. like the poet said "u can't fight passion when passion is hot". he had resolved 2 find her, enter her sugar walls, take her 2 erotic city & contemplate the procreation of purple babies with her. but thats easier said then done in a crowd of 18000. he might have never seen ruth again but fortuitously, while she was working him over inside the boston garden, her friends were working their magic on facebook & twitter to find out where the elusive afterparty would be. ruth received the happy details about the after party via twitter from her friends precisley at the strike of midnight(11-15-11). in the intimate gathering @ the aftershow, u never saw a more relieved man than prince when he saw ruth's face. he composed himself & looked knowingly at her as if 2 say: it will only be a matter of time but u will be with me. ruth laughed 2 herself because she had already been his for years. this was no dalliance-prince had found his purple princess & from that day on he & ruth were never parted. in case u r worried about &y-let's rewind: &y was secretly a mj fanatic & she drank but was never intoxicated by the purple kool-aid. while eternally grateful 2 prince 4 his uncommon kindness, she couldnt betray mj's memory & place paisley park over neverland. so &y was deliberately trying 2 find some1 4 prince so he could fall in love & break up with her 1st. my warning her 2 keep prince away from ruth was the reason 4 her to proceed. given the shot of a lifetime on stage with prince, ruth drained it from half court-nothing but net. (with the nba lockout, that may be the last shot in the garden 4 2011). so &y didnt trip up at the garden -what happened she wanted 2. she just needed 2 find 1 2 fit the silver slippers. it was a happy & satisfying conclusion 4 everyone.(esp. the birthday girl-ruth)
p.s. & ruthcass true 2 her word kept her promise 2 pfan1978 & invited him 2 the purple palace.(its amazing what can happen when we scorpios execute a plan ) [Edited 10/14/11 18:29pm] [Edited 10/14/11 18:41pm] | |
