The Org Gets Mentioned By EW http://popwatch.ew.com/po...0008919367
Is Prince the real-life Willy Wonka? He holes up in his mysterious Paisley Park complex, where he mixes up magical and strange confections of funk/rock/R&B. He even dresses like Gene Wilder's purple-jacketed candymaker from the 1971 movie. So it's a no-brainer that he'd try a Wonka-esque promotion for his forthcoming album 3121, due March 21. According to fansite prince.org, he's including seven ''purple tickets'' inside random copies of the CD that entitle the bearer to attend a private concert at Prince's home. Yes, Eminem and other artists have offered similar giveaways, but not even Marshall Mathers is as famously private as Prince. Plus, it looks like Prince is preparing to open up to TV interviewers, including Oprah, Larry King, 60 Minutes (presumably, to young, earring-wearing hipster Ed Bradley), and Ellen DeGeneres. Not sure if an open, friendly Prince will be as intriguing as the Wonka-esque eccentric we've marveled at over the years, but given the fiery preview of his new tracks he offered on Saturday Night Live a week ago, I don't think we need to fear that Prince is losing his musical edge.

I can see it now: Larry: "Zelaria, calling from Florida, what's your question for Prince?" LMAO! Yes, he has done Larry King before, in 1999, it was up at HQ not too long ago... The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Gary Susman | 02.13.06, 11:02 AM BTW, a co-worker of mine knows someone who works for 60 Minutes and my co-worker's friend confirmed that there was/is talk of trying to get Prince to do 60 Minutes w/Ed Bradley, but that the 60 Minutes people are worried Prince will decide at the last minute not to do it (à la Michael Jackson or something). I told her if 60 Minutes needed any ideas of questions to ask to let me know and I'd poll the org.  (Oooh, and maybe I could be a special 'fan' consultant to them!! )The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found.

It seriously went a little like this: Larry: You have a dispute with Warner Bros. that is ongoing. I should mention that Warner Bros. Record's parent company, Time Warner, owns this network. Were you aware of that? Prince: (Looking surprised) Ah, no. ...like he might not have done the interview at all had he known that Time Warner now owned more exclusive video of him.

I can see it now: Larry: "Zelaria, calling from Florida, what's your question for Prince?" He did Larry King, but he was with Larry Graham which was really distracting. I'd rather see Prince by himself, though I think the first part was just Prince. It was during the Rave era and I'm not a fan of that period. | |

Strange but true. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

Looks like he will have to do all those shows because the promotion team has not been up to par yet on Uni's end.

I was surprised that Prince did Larry King in 1999, seeing that it's live and stuff. Prince was saying that he doesn't believe in contracts and Larry asked him "Do you have a contract with the people at "Indemand" and he said "I'm not sure, I can check." That whole "I don't believe in contracts" kind of caught up with him that night. He would get screwed over if there was no contracts in place. I hope he does Oprah and Larry King again...I hope he does all the talk shows. I wish he would have a concert special...like the one we were supposse to have with Musicology. 
* Indemand was the company that put the New Years concert on. "Indemand gave us a large budget to work with." Prince on Larry King 1999 Much Love PRIME Prime aka The Kid

Just to point out yet again, this info was simply part of the leaked Universal WISH list from way back for the promotion of 3121. Things they would ideally like to talk Prince into doing.
I don't think it has ever been confirmed that this ticket thing is actually happening. Perhaps some of the interviews will come to pass, but none of that list is set in stone. This wish list material is being recycled as fact when in fact it may not be. http://www.prince.org/msg...g-Campaign | |

Would it just be the seven winners at the party? That's not much of a party...not that I wouldn't go, just sayin'...
And "seven" winners? Hmm..."one day all seven will DIE!" Maybe the "Egg" behind Paisley is actually a mausoleum (sp), and Prince has been planning all along to permanently enshrine seven of us poor fuckers...perhaps so that when his "fam" base dwindles again in the future, he'll always have at least seven of us around!

And, wait a minute, how the fuck am I gonna party with Prince anyway? I can't even entertain myself; what the hell would I talk to him about?
"Hi. I'm Prince. This here's my band. We've toured around the world blah blah blah" "Nice to meet you. My name is Chris. I used to live in Minneapolis. You might recognize me as the short, nerdy guy that used to hang out in the corners at Paisley back in the Rave days. No? Okay. Um...I, uh, kind of want to be an econometrician, I guess, or else focus on employment law. Um...I have two cats...uh...I read a lot, lately a lot of books about Nixon...Hey, guys? Um, Prince? Band?!?! Come back! Please..." If I win, and I get to bring a guest, I think I'd like to bring whatever fellow .Orger would volunteer to come with me while I dressed like Tora Tora, only whispering into your ear so you can relay my comments to everyone else. Let's hope I don't win. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"
