After 150 Years, It’s Your Turn to Make Minnesota History
The Minnesota Historical Society is compiling the 150 most influential forces in the state’s history. And we need your help. Nominate the people, places, things and events that make us who we are – from the little known to the famous and infamous, from before Minnesota was a state to just yesterday. You could win a prize and be featured in the MN150, an exhibit at the History Center celebrating the state’s 150th birthday in 2008.

good idea!

I'm sorry, but surely you Minnesotans have someone more historically important from your state than Prince.


I can't think of any off hand, but I'm not from Minnesota. Please tell me you have people more important than Prince from there.

Dylan will probably win I'm sure but let's at least make sure Prince is in the top 10

Tessa said:

whats Ur idea of being more important? for 1 Prince can touch people across the globe. He has inspired multitudes. Guess it depends on what U thinks important

Well, it's not really a competition. It's 150 influencial figure from Minnesota. Frankly, I'll be shcoked if Prince ain't on the list.


Well, what's your idea of important? Politicians? Athletes? Artists? Authors?

ChiveDavis said:

hell yeah. As far as I'm concerned, Prince is the ONLY reason why tourism to Minnesota became popular Why the hell else would you want to vacation in MN?

Who else can anyone think of as being historically significant from Minnesota than Prince besides.....Kirby Pucket?

dseann said:

skywalker said:

people important to actual history. not pop culture history.

HoneymoonXpress said:

well, there's this... 'sides, when the state's not collarbone-deep in snow and freezing to death, minnesota ain't a bad place to visit.

Tessa said:

the way i see it, pop culture history is just as much a part of actual history as you may think. they're more or less intertwined.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

they are now, because we've become shallow and vapid and have allowed our entertainment to replace our culture.

Tessa said:

if you mean crud like amurrican idol and all the other "talent" out there, then you'd be a titch wrong about that. in a decade's time, i think that all that kinda shit will be dead and forgotten so it won't even have so much as a knuckle to be put into actual history. the talent with legit staying power and undeniable talent--like, i dunno, that one prince guy--will be remembered for generations to come.
