ItemWorld: Prince to feature oldies but goodies
THANKS 4 THE MEMORIES

Either Princeis feeling nostalgic as he turns 43, or he's giving in to fans' demands: Via e-mail earlier this week, he promised that such hits as "Controversy," "Housequake" and "When U Were Mine" will be back on his set lists (after a four-year absence) when he performs June 15-16 at Xcel Energy Center. "Many of the people who come 2 c me now were 2 young 2 attend concerts when eye first started playing," Prince wrote. But while older material will be the primary focus, he'll also preview his forthcoming CD "The Rainbow Children," and ask for on-the-spot feedback from concertgoers. He's priming the pump with a week of Paisley Park events, starting Monday. Highlights include performances by Erykah Badu Wednesday, rapper Common Thursday and Nikka Costa June 17. The birthday boy suggests joining his npgmusicclub.com for updates. (K.T.)
