you aren't and i'm not but you know there are some people here, right now, with voodoo dolls of prince, talking about how he just ruined their day. okay, okay, maybe not that bad but you know some folks take it all way too much to heart. if not, well, this thread would never have been started.
. [Edited 6/16/06 22:54pm] I have no voodoo doll, but you and all the other so-call Prince fans are pathetic to get so defensive over a guy claiming to perform a "concert" and come out and do 2 songs. You are fucking cheap as shit if you think cause its free, he can play 2 songs or 10 seconds and what the hell, you accept it. This is exactly how the world and art is so fucked up. You pay for shit and you accept it. Lower your standards and you get what you reap. Art is all but gone, and you silly MFs put an underscore on it. Just like one guy said "those were the old days, no one does shit for free" Course, it wasn't exactly said like that, but you can catch my drift. Actually, I don't remember Prince EVER saying it was a concert. That was GMA. AND, it is true, GMA has been doing these "Summer Concert Series" things for years, and they have never really been Concerts. It's just something they call it to say, "HEY WATCH US! WE GOT A LIVE BAND HERE ON SUCH AND SUCH DAY! WE NEED RATINGS!" It was never gonna be a full on concert. Letitgo. _________________________________________

It really is the GMA that is at fault. They promote a "concert" where 2 songs are played, yet I knew nothing of it till the Prince "concert." Therefore, I was just a little disapointed. However, I still stand by my complaint. Prince had an open arena. He had the band. I mean, when you ask Maceo to join you, I would hope it was more than a 15 minute spot where he plays 20 seconds of lead. If you are going to call Maceo out to play, he just like Prince, should be able to have their fix of playing for an hou at least... So they should have told GMA to fuck off P style knowing they have the fundssss and the cahssss to play the bitch outtttt. Nightrain y'all. | |

Aerogram said: thedoorkeeper said: Diana Ross gave a big free concert in Central Park but I don't remember The Beatles giving any free concert. When & where was that?? From Wikipedia : "The Beatles performed "Get Back" (along with other songs from the album) as part of the "Beatles Rooftop Performance" which took place on the roof of Apple Studios in Savile Row, London on January 30, 1969. " Obviously, that was free. I wouldn't call going up on the studio roof & performing a few songs for a documentary without any kind of announcement a concert. That was an impromptu performance for the camera that could be heard from the street. In no way were The Beatles performing for an audience...for their fans. If it weren't for Let It Be it would be a very minor event in Beatle history. | |
