PrintableWhatever Prince has in store for 2007, I'm sure it will be semi-surprising.
At this point I'll take 4 or 5 albums worth of crappy music in one year, than waiting every two years for a mildly decent album.  | |

In person/on video and on cd in various cities - all of the guys pulled on stage (sounded the same but,) knew every single word of "Play that Funky Music." Did every dude, that got on stage to sing that song at the Tamar concerts, know it word for word? Or did someone mess up in at least one city? Educate me. If not, I just learned something new about my "lighter skinned" brothas. Yeah, I sang "Play That Funky White Music". There was another guy onstage with me, Anthony a/k/a Ant Boogie. From reading internet reports, I knew they'd ask a white guy to sing, so I listened to the song a few times to refresh the lyrics in my mind. And guess what happened when I got onstage? I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE FIRST LINE! And Tamar made it PERFECTLY CLEAR that if I didn't know the lyrics, I was toast! So when Prince started the opening riff, I was about to come unglued. Luckily, Anthony (who's a pro musician) started the song off. As soon as I heard, "I was a boogie singer...." it all came back. WHEW! That was a blast and a half. I rockstarred it by handing the microphone to crowd members during the chorus. Allegedly, Prince thought that was cool, so now I can die a happy man... So you did your homework and anticipated a reward! I like you for that! I prepared myself for the stage before I went to the concert too. If you believe it you can achieve it.
At first I was thinking "Play that Funky Music" was some kind of anthem by the number of dudes who knew it. | |

4. The Death of a Website. Strange, to say the least. "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful" was intriguing, but ditching the website for an ersatz MySpace page can't go down as a shrewd move. My uninformed opinion is that Prince was legally forced to shut it down, which sucks. And what about those of us whose email address changed after the site shut down? I hope someone asks Sam Jennings how to get updated info so we can get back into the email loop.
I wonder if he did this because Manuela was trying to claim future royalties, et al, as part of the divorce settlement, and he figured he'd shut it down rather than let her have it. | |
