PrintableI went to the website, and looked around a bit. I looked at the description of the music exhibit, and Prince got a very short mention. It said that they had a tambourine from the Purple Rain tour on display. Is that all there is? I would think he'd get a little more recognition than that.  Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

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?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.You have a point there, I've been to MN in June, and it's very beautiful (but hot as hell) | |

Tessa said: Handclapsfingasnapz 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. they are now, because we've become shallow and vapid and have allowed our entertainment to replace our culture. Umm...so since when is art not culture? It's pretty important in most people's eyes. Unless, of course, you're of the Jessie Ventura is culture crowd. | |

It's pretty important in most people's eyes. Unless, of course, you're of the Jessie Ventura is culture crowd. art is part of culture. but this is supposed to be a vote for historical figures, not pop culture ones. but so far, no one, including people from Minnesota, has come up with anyone actually important to the history of the world or the country (or Minnesota for that matter), so I guess Prince'll just have to do until somebody from Minnesota does something meaningful to the world besides write some songs  "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |
