New Rolling Stone article on Rave

The RollingStone.com news item entitled "Superstar
Shopping Spree" contains a mention of Rave. The full
article is available at:

The prince mention is as follows:



The season's biggest question mark hangs over Rave Un2
the Joy Fantastic, by the Artist, who in past years
retreated from the mainstream, releasing modestly
successful albums online and in select retail outlets.
Now, after entering into a new licensing agreement
with Clive Davis' Arista Records, the Artist has
returned - but some retailers wonder whether the
reclusive singer is committed to selling the release.
"Every single time, we're told he's going to tour,
make great videos, release singles," says Joe Kvidera,
manager of a Tower Records store in Chicago. "Then he
[only] sells 80,000 copies his first week, he cancels
his tours and goes back to Minneapolis to pout. So
I'll believe it when I see it." Believe it, insists
Rick Wilcoxen, vice president of national sales at
BMG, which distributes Arista. "He's out performing,
he's working on the video," Wilcoxen says. "He's done
everything he's been asked to do. He's in this for real."
