sosgemini said: SexyBeautifulOne said: Well damn! You act like Prince was out there personally pulling people out of line and letting them in for free. There are lots of ways to get Comp tickets for shows in Vegas, that have nothing at all to do with the act that is performing. That's just how it is in Vegas! Damn, Prince can't win for losing...y'all just look for shit to bitch about and when you can't find anything...you just make it up!  wait a minute...stymie is one of prince's biggest defenders...to the point where she will orgnote us mods with her concerns about the overall "tone" of the prince forum....she always chimes in with positive things about prince...and the one time she has a personal experience that isn't perceived as "fam'ing" out she gets crap for it... real. nice. folks. 
I am so sorry I upset one of Prince's close friends. 
Prince is human. He does fucked up things just like everyone else whether people want to believe that or not. | |

He getting very mellow with his advancing years....
Back in that day...There would have been no SuperBowl Performance.... But a commercial- At least it's orginal(I think), I don't think any other artist has gone to that extreme for their Half-Time Performance.... Imago said: Let me get this straight.
There was a commercial of Prince thanking folks for watching the superbowl? 
Did I just read that? The road you choose to walk in this life, is a road that leads to the next..... | |

SexyBeautifulOne said: thepope2the9s said: Are you people out in left field or what?
The only reason P did a thank you ad is because of all the talk over his guitar looking like a Penis... It is all public relations. I mean, Iam not saying it was a bad thing to do. But if there was not all that talk about the alleged controversey over the guitar shadow..there would have been no thank you commercial. Think about it. He is worrying about his image because he actually cares about his image these days...he does not want to be offensive...which is a far cry from the old and younger Prince who did not give a damn. I love a good theory but come on now! If it was a gesture done for the sake of the so called controversy, I don't think they would have INCLUDED in the commercial the same offending clip that caused it in the first place!  They did not show the same offensive clip. Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

Well...I don't know how big a deal it really is but I thought it was a nice gesture. Kinda took me back to last week standing in the rain. As much as I despise getting wet, it was an incredible night. 
Of course I could push it and ask him to do a big ol' party at Paisley Park this year!  While we were standing in line in Vegas, this lady walks up with a voucher that entitled her to two free tickets for the night if the concert was not sold out by 9 p.m. The fact that I shelled out 1500 bucks to be there to be witness to that kinda pissed me off. Along with other stuff about that night that pissed me off but it's Prince. I guess I should be used to however he wants to treat people by now.Well, it really is a very nicely done commercial, I think people are pleasantly surprised to see Prince make that sort of gesture, that's all.
A voucher for 2 free tickets??? Not one, but two? Since you'd just spent fifteen hundred smackers I could see where that might deflate you a bit. But honestly, If I remember correctly Kidwell posted something about that in the concert forum as a benefit for local residents but I thought it was limited to Wednesday shows. We paid full price for HardRock tickets and couldn't even get a seat in the first 14 rows because of NFL, CBS and casino high rollers so at least you were able to get close at the Rio. What else happened that night to get you po'd??? Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

BTW, I'm curious...did you personally find it offensive? Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

the thank you was like icing on the cake. Whaddup girl? Looks like every Prince peep except me was on the stage crew...I was in the dance cast! Everything about the whole experience was unforgettable but I think the fact that he was so hyped about the whole thing make it even better. You should have seen his face when he was talking to the FAMU band members. He was even a good sport through all the little "oops" moments.
I gotta PM you my number so we can swap stories, LOL. . Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

From what I understand, Prince rents the space that is currently known as 3121; before all of this it was just one of the 4 (?) clubs at the Rio Hotel/Casino.
this isn't **only** Prince's place.... I've also heard that any "free" tickets were earned -- by way of frequent guest status. When you're enrolled in hotel/casino clubs like "Total Rewards" & such, if you're a high enough roller or frequent enough quest, you can score 'free' tickets to shows b/c they (the casinos) appreciate your frequent visits (all the money you shell out when staying with them). I don't know for 100% certain that this was the case this particular time, but it does happen quite regularly ~ Vegas, Atlantic City, etc. Only crappy thing now with many of these clubs.. if you don't go every 6 months to remain on their active list, you can lose what points/perks you've racked up. It's almost not worth joining if you're not a heavy gambler/frequent traveler.  Hag. Muse. Web Goddess. Taurean. Tree Hugger. Poet. Professional Nerd. Geek.

I saw the commerical... and I coulda sworn it was Prince directly speaking to the public... it was all just archive footage of the SuperBowl with text written underneath...
but leave it to Prince to not speak in front of the camera for a commerical... that's why he said nothing in the SuperBowl commerical advertising for the HalfTime show. But with him, his silence speaks as loud as words. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

origmnd said: 2elijah said: I doubt that was the reason. It apparently was a good decision to do a "Thank You" message to show appreciation for all the viewers that showed support, and those in attendance that stood in the rain during the halftime show. In this world of hate and envy, there are vultures and snakes out there that love tearing people down and enjoy bringing negativity into whatever good people try to do, so all this phallic schmallic talk is just the vultures biting away with envy. I mean let's face it...one man's success always leads to another man's jealousy, so what else is new? Kudos to Prince for showing appreciation to his fans. [Edited 2/12/07 11:57am] I think he did this because he's in bed with CBS in some way. Maybe a TV special or concert is comming. The only person that is in bed with Prince - is Prince. It was a commercial - simply to remind people of - HIM - his upcoming tour - his new product - BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME. He ain't stupid. But if y'all wanna believe that he was doing it to really Thank U - OK. | |
