The 20 year anniversary of Purple Rain is approaching. I think Prince is going to attempt a big push back into the mainstream... | |

well, the video clearly says, at least for me, that the something big that's coming is the 2003 edition of the NPGMC.
Also, the music is the beginning of xenophobia, but the beginning of xenophobia seems to me to be straight from the Jaws theme, so I guess both descriptions are right (kind of like "george of the jungle" is in the everlasting now). | |

Maybe Mani's pictures of the whales will be all over the next album - she could be the next Linda McCartney (please no...) | |

um...MAYBE the something big is
THE 2003 NPGMC!! duh... It apperant that they used the footage of the whale and added the Jaws theme quickly as a teaser. They are advertising it as something big, so I'm sure it will include the Celebration. They've had 5 months to figure out what they need to do. IN THE END they were somewhat receptive to criticism, and they should understand by now that short changing the fans is not the way to run a business. I'm eagerly awaiting their next product. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |

One of two possible things...
either he is going to do his impression of a sperm whale, or he is just spouting out of his blow hole again. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

Jazz said: OK I'm a huge fan and have never been a hater but from a professional and technical point of view I was starting to wonder if this was some sorta site hack.
The lack of any cohesiveness point, the 3D zoom, model texture and effect would have been old and outdated when the Interactive CD was released and I could have done it years ago with cheap software and a tutorial. Again, not trying to hate but the sky is grey when there's clouds and blue when it's not and I'll call the color like I see it. What I'm saying is NPGMC is a professional corporate venture not some twinkboy fansite. I hope the club itself runs with a higher level of creativity and professionalism than this. I mean why a movie? This could have been streamed into Flash with the greatest of ease. Sorry for the negativity but I've been waiting to ehar something for a while and I'm a bit underwhelmed. Peace and Hope Lawd. Lighten up kid. P is effin with anticipation. All these years and I don't understand how people miss his quirky sense of humor and sarcasm. Sheesh. Loosen the belt a notch.

Alright...just two questions I have (and these are rhetorical):
•Just how big is this "something" going to be? (i.e., will the ripple effect be heard in the mainstream?) •How much of the Jehovah's Witness stuff are we going to have to swallow to get to the goods?? ...and please, everyone...if what he gives us is not "big"...don't report it to the BBB because it wasn't as boig as you thought it was promised to be. | |

purplekat said: utopia7 said: I will wait and see see folks Prince Missed us or is he just telling us about his Baby maybe not
This is my theory: No one says this movie has to be recent. Just because Mani doesn't look pregnant, doesn't mean she's not! This could have been filmed during their trip to Hawaii to get married! This could just be symbolic of the fact that every pregnant woman feels a bit like a whale when she's 9 months pregnant! Seems to me that the proud father is dropping us a hint that maybe he will soon have something big to celebrate in his life, and we all know how that sort of thing usually inspires him to create some great music! I think that is what the NPGMC can expect from him this year! I, for one, am very happy for them both, either way! aaahhh but that would not be big would it? Cos - a. It would be a baby and they are usually small by comparison and b. It would be Princes baby and he is small in comparison Perhaps he has had constipation for a week or so and wants to share the fact that he feels as if he is about to birth a whale? | |

MUSIC should be what is BIG.. on cd's. They should have various packages: Music Package - $50 (4 cds/dvds all shipped at one time. That's $10 a cd plus $10 shipping) Concert Package - $100 (CDs/DVDs + concert benefits, aftershow and sound check access) Celebration Package - $300 (CDs/DVDs + concert benefits + 1 Celebration ticket 7day pass and a chance to purchase another for $100) Coming right out and offering things like this would avoid all the confusion and distrust. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

oh come now, y'all. the meaning of this message is so OBVIOUS i'm just amazed you don't get it. 'mani' represents the music club, which was out of sight for a while and IS now making an unexpected reappearance. the 'whale' is a new release from the club. it's still partly submerged, as in not quite finished, but you can tell it's making it's way to the surface. the guy in the background are us, the NPGMC members, waiting breathlessly for the 'music club' to feature the 'whale'. we'll probably be getting another clip showing 'mani' EATING the entire whale, as in, members consuming a new product.
just my 2c | |

Oh please. I can't believe everyone is making such a big deal about it all. Something BIG is coming BIG = WHALE.
Yes, so it's Mani filming. . no emphasis put on who she is or anything - so it could be anybody. Then the words kind of give it away . . . NPGMC 2003. Looks as if Prince wanted us to know NPGMC isn't dead and something is in the pipeline . . so he pulled this our from his home video collection and threw one or two ideas around. | |

I've come to the conclusion that this year is not about the music with his fans..because the last 6months or more no matter what Prince has done..says or will do ...it always gets on the subject about him having a baby. Is it that
we as 'fans' don't want the "Music" this time but want to use these words in the same sentence with Prince --Daddy, father,baby, diapers , bottle, car seat ect...it will be nice but we just have to wait, for now it's about the music as always with Prince. My opinion on the beginning of the NPG site with the whale and showing a sideview of Mani I feel it really has nothing to do with the site but to answer the pregnancy rumor. So sit down and enjoy the ride A Child Desiigner "Panda" LES TWINS x YAK FILMS | Laurent ft Skitzo & Boom Squad Inglewood (part 1)

THANKS PRINCE & the NPGMC 4 some words of positivity & anticipation for all the fams who have been in the deepest "FUNK" of late, thinking the well deserved vacation of yours of ONLY 4 months meant no more music etc. etc. etc. just in case u HAVENT been keeping up 2 date with the org? the mood was "deep blue funk". now, if this good news from the NPGMC comes 2 B, some of the ppl here will go from "making up their own news, (rumours, that is) back to being whiny about the club etc. etc. etc...(nice change of pace...) anywho, ppl were getting a bit worried, and understandably so, IMO. VERY GLAD 2 have heard SOMETHING from the "MOTHER CLUB". looking 4ward 2 a great year ahead AS ALWAYS. WELCOME BACK! May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. | |

I bet since npgmc is down rite now, that "something big" refers to a new design for the website and/or a new membership format...
a new CD as well would B the icing on the cake... | |
