Ok. 6 and 7. Did you want to hear about that one? Well...when I was 17 I didn't know that in England they had the symbol sixes and sevens meaning confusion and chaos. No. How would I have known? All I knew was that 6 was the day man was created, as said in the Bible....and I'm not certain today if that even is true. And on the seventh day God rested. And again I'm not sure that either is true. As, I have read a lot since I was 17. And that was in 1983...the day music died.

Nevertheless...I named myself 6 for the fact that I was human. And I named that spirit I was communicating with, 7. That spirit kept on pushing Prince music in my face. Even my boyfriend at the time, Mark, thought it was weird...because it was like the radio in his vehicle was communicating to me.

So I wrote to him about it. Prince that is. He didn't know anything about that Sprit who I called Seven. Because I didn't tell him about it. I called him Seven because I told that Spirit to use his body so I could meet him in physical form. Nor did I tell him about the color orange. But haha I wrote a lot about it when I had that weird dream about Seven. I won't tell you either. I will tell you though that I used to say, orange you happy, etc and things like that. Because I thought it was funny.

But Seven is not something Prince himself invented. I decided to write him about it because he had a poster up on his wall. And I wanted to know if in fact he knew anything about those things. But nada. He didn't know a thing. That is why I didn't meet him. Even though he came to my parents house and stared into my window to see that I was eating and watching Dynasty on T.V. But I couldn't answer the door because his surprise caught me off gaurd. I had a towel over my head, since I was dying my hair. Oh the vanity. I know. But that's not why I refused to come to the door. It was because I saw that seven foot tall spirit standing in him, over him, with points of colors like a black shadow with diamonds all over the silhouette. Weird. I was freaked out by Seven. Not Prince. But then again. Maybe I was freaked out by Prince being there, because I had asked Seven two weeks prior to bring him to me. And haha, oh my goodness...there he was. It was a bad joke that Seven played on me. I was angry. He should have had better timing.

How. Incredibly. Lame.

I use MySpace, mind you. But I have to say it is the most ill designed Web site I have ever encountered. It's cluttered. It stalls. It crashes. We were designing better Web sites in the mid-90s on Notepad, for god's sake.

I understand that MySpace is a great forum for up and coming musicians, and a place to connect. I think musicians should leverage that. I personally wish more musicians were using it.

But why any musician with an actual budget to spend would make MySpace the entirety of their official Web strategy is beyond me. Oh wait, this is the man that thought "My Computer" was a hip song. "You've got mail!" Never mind . . .

Snarkily,
Katrina

This has probably been asked about a thousand times now but I haven't seen it. Does this suggest that perhaps Prince is no longer associated with the JWs any longer?

"3121 (2006) and many more online-only releases."

I noticed that quote in the paragraph where he listed all of his albums.

So I wondered is he going back to selling his albums via online again starting from his next album and in the future and no longer be doing distribution deals with record companies? And he might going to use Myspace to its advantage?

I think that something ugly went down between him and Universal indeed.

Now Sheila E. on the other hand--her page will only allow requests from people she really knows. sad You have to enter her last name or email (and I tried Escovedo--it didn't work. smile )

It might be nice if Prince's myspace page really did function as a surrogate NPGMC but I don't think that's the case. There haven't been any new updates/blogs since NPGMC went on "hiatus" even though it says the last log in was today.

IMO, it would be very common for Prince to jump on the myspace bandwagon after winning a webby for innovative use of the internet to market his music.


Sheila has a myspace account? does anyone know the e-mail address

Not to burst any bubbles or anything, but this myspace was mentioned on the NPGMC and a PP person answered that the Prince My Space is run by universal and has no connection to Prince or the NPGMC. Well since the NPGMC is no more, I guess we could say it has no connection to Prince now.

unless I get a personal email from the former NPGMC "paisley park moderators" or someone official, I will respect the wishes of Prince and his MySpace web site as official.

But for now his MySpace.com page is not official. That would be weird if he decides to upload and stream 20-30 some new songs or put up Crystal Ball to stream or the One Nite Alone tour box set. I mean, he would be losing out on the profit. He would not be able to do any merchandising and the like, the way we did with the NPGMC shop.

As well, NPGMC.com does not forward to his MySpace account, at least I don't think it does. As well, Love4OneAnother.Com and Emale.com don't forward to NPGMC.com.

Well if I knew her email address, I'd be able to request her friendship, wouldn't I? wink So no, I don't know it.

But if I did know it, I wouldn't post it on the internet for everyone to see--she probably wouldn't appreciate that.

Ah, there is one interesting feature of Prince's space.

Look at the column of album covers on the left of the screen and scroll down to SOTT/Lovesexy. There's a strange cover I have never seen before, identifying itself as "The Black Album". Could this have been the cover to the album at some point?

Guys, this might be the real thing. I say this because, a few weeks ago I signed up to Alicia Key's webpage and she accepted me as a friend. It turned out to be a site that was put up by her label. I was just on prince's page and he has A Keys as one of his friends. I clicked on her photo and up came a totally different site. It shows that the last time she was on was in April. The one that was created by her record company, has her logging in this morning.The fact that he has taken long to make people a "friend" could mean that he is real busy. If it were a site created by the record company, they would have responded alot sooner.

Just a thought.

Yeah, that is something I haven't seen before. I'm guessing it's a bootleg, but it's not one I've seen, and the picture of Prince in the background isn't one I recognize. Cool, but probably a boot, which only lends credence to this being managed by a low-level record company employee, rather than someone who actually knows what's going on in Prince-world.

Why do some people let Prince off the hook for the way the club was closed? He/his operation has a track record for whimsically taking fans' money and not delivering smoothly, consistently.

How are the pressures of being a rock star to blame? Other rock stars are known for better consistency and for being cooperative with fans.

Look, I'm a bit slow, as some of you may have noticed, but what is the point of being a myspace "friend"....so you can run around the streets waving a print out shouting "Look! I'm Prince's friend!" ? Or is it just a matter of getting newsletters/updates sent to your email account?


As for all the God talk....ehh...never been a big fan myself, sure some of his early work was good...saturn...that was nice...with the rings and stuff...he did well on the small furry cute things too...who doesn't love a hamster?....but then we had all the plagues and pestulence...I mean really, was that necessary?...though, even then he still managed a bit of sea-parting and healing of the sick etc.....they say some guy even came back from the dead!...but lately what do we get?...the virgin Mary appearing on a peice of burnt toast? What the f..? the guy has run out of ideas, man!

Yep, It's a boot-cover ( I own it). Always has been my favorite. It's a black -on - black pic of the Under The Cherry Moon pic of Prince.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

btw, i doubt the NPGMC myspace has much to do with Universal. i would think "NPGMC" is wholly owned by Prince and would remain a completely seperate entity from whatever label he's associating with at any given moment.


there's a specific NPGMC myspace page? i just thought there was the "official" prince myspace page, and the "about me" profile starts a little something like this:



ah, i had inferred from the previous posts that it was an "NPGMC" myspace page and not a Prince one. having not checked it out, and absolutely HATING to go to the page loading hell / web design mess that is myspace, i spoke before i'd seen it.
