"dude, that's a bunch of B.S."

I agree i live in Detroit, and i plan on calling the radio stations around here to request "Black Sweat", e-mailing them and the program directors. Everyone who lives in Detroit let's form a group or coalition and start putting the pressure on the DJ's to give Prince's singles full rotation on their playlists.

I live in Detroit too, so I'd be down with that. I already emailed 95.5 the other day.

I think other stations like 93.1 and WJLB will start playing it and adding it to rotation once their competition starts playing it and fans start requesting it. Also it has a better chance of getting spins on VH1 and BET once the record starts bubbling. But i'm definetly down with starting a group to help the song be a hit.

Damn, if people organized around social issues they way they're willing to organize around airing a prince song on the radio - we'd be in good shape. Rather than call u're radio station; call your congressman - and tell them you're upset about them pandering to the Bush Administration. I guaruntee - if they'd get as many calls as the Radio Station gets to air Black Sweat - we'd be in better shape.

BLS Became a fuckin Joke when Frankie Crocker Died..

Why can't you do both? Art does more for social change than politics. Look at the outrage over the Danish cartoon and the lack of outrage over the Iraqi prison photos.

Jatrig said:

If people want to call their congressman or whatever, then they can do it. We're talking about Black Sweat and in the midst of what's happening all around us, I want to hear this song as much as possible.

I swear i am not going to give you a play by play report of WBLS BUT NOW THEY ARE PLAYING I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER!!!

I Hear you...and agree with you...it's just frustrating sometimes when it seems people generally (not just us prince fans) are more willing to organize around pop culture stuff yet unwilling to do the same politically - but I can totally see why that's the case; we do what we think we can change - it was just an observation.
