It got a bit of a mention on CNN radio this morning. Hopefully, with the help of great Prince fans like ourselves, it'll get loads of radio airplay.
Normally, I wouldn't be very optimistic about mainstream radio, but it is for a good cause, as well as being a great song, so I'll keep emailing.

Probably because you are coupling a tragic event with a Prince marketing ploy.

If you want to support New orleans, you can donate directly. You don't need Prince to do it.

I thought it would be cool to support new orleans through Prince music...

S.S.T now on ITunes

For those with XM Satellite radio (and even those who dont)

Request the song here. They are good to Prince and still play Call My Name regularly

I would love to download the songs but the last downloads I purchased didn't fully down load (Bataclan). The song Magnificent I have not been able to figure out how to burn to a CD because it did not download as an MP3. I am used to downloading songs as MP3's then converting them to wave files then burning them to a CD. I'm leary of downloading any more songs for fear of encountering the same situation.

Get it from www.itunes.com

SquirrelMeat said:

exactly.

Like i said... i thought it would be cool to support new orleans through Prince music... what's wrong with that??

GoldenGlove said:

like squirrelmeat said, there are several other ways that have been told via the media that people can help those affected by the hurricane...that, and by doing what you're suggesting, it would overshadow the true cause at hand. you're basically asking us to peddle prince's stuff. none of us have to do this.

it is NOT about prince. believe it or don't.

Sigh... i am killing two birds with one stone! Helping the victims of katrina and giving Prince a hit single... obviously the katrina thing is FAR more important, but i thought i'd kill 2 birds with one stone.

Sheesh...
