I think that it was extremely tacky and in bad taste that Prince did show up for the funeral. One of the great innovators of music has died and he acts like he does n't even care. That is extremely arrogant on his part. What is the man afaird to been seen on TV or in public crying? He let Michael Jackson completely upstage him. Prince is supposed to be up for alot of awards in 2007 and please beleive that I don't think this blunder will go on blind eyes.
I am sorely disappointed in Prince.

It's sad. Prince needs to check himself. mad


I wasn't aware JBs funeral was yet another 'competition' b/t MJ and P... rolleyes

I thought Prince's song The Love We Make from Emancipation was for Jonathan Melvoin. 3121.com very quickly paid their respects.

So! Neither does 98% of every recording artist in history! What the hell has that got to do with him dedicating something to someone else?

This is ridiculous.

U don't have 2 go 2 a funeral 2 pay your respects.

Prince will continue 2 pay his respect 4 JB, as he always has...

In This Bed I Scream was dedicated to Wendy, Lisa and Susannah. shrug

and The Love We Make is dedicated to someone...while Prince doesn't come out and say its Jonathan its rather apparent.

You know; I completely forgot about him not going to his parents' funerals. This is obviously the way Prince deals with death. If, as some people suggest, he shares their opinion and would rather remember the life of someone than their appearance in death, cool. Like I said at the beginning, no judgement, just a comment.

Like a number of people here, I have been 'dragged' to funerals and I have chosen to go to funerals because I wanted to pay my last respects. Each to their own. It was just an idle thought, that's all, that I would have expected to see Prince at James Brown's funeral.

How do y'all know he didnt attend the funeral, contact the family or participate in some way? He posted condolences on his website since last week.. The fact that you dont know what he did is just that.

I just wonder how many stars and famous people would attend such an event, not because they give a damn, but because they're publicist recommended it and it garners publicity and attention- good for the career. In the limelight, seen by the media, pictures taken.
And who made up the rule that just because people are in the same profession they somehow are obligated to attend all their collegues' funerals?
I'm thinkin of a line from Dawn of the Dead where Ving Rhames says:
Better him than me!!!

I'm just glad to see that the org can handle a topic like this without getting all upset because it's "disrespectful" to Prince and lock the thread like they did at Housequake confused
