I always thought that JW's were anti-Earth.

The thing is that Gore and Harvey Goldsmith are trying to use him to make money for themselves. They know he has recently become more popular again and they want to capitalize on that.

have you ever noticed that all his cd covers since TRC have been made of paper? i believe he even said that in an interview once about how the environment was a real concern for him.
Prince is a paronoid human being. i'm pretty sure he's a greeny.

One Nite Alone was a big waiste of paper and CD jewel cases

Rumor has it that the Purple One keeps his private joy green by using only biodegradable condoms.

Prince must be interested if he convinced the Rio to move from Las Vegas to LA just so the event organizer could see the show.

ok whatever...one album wasn't. but you get it. or maybe you dont. hmm...

'One Nite Alone' involved no jewel cases.

'One Nite Alone ... Live!' did.

.

oh my god- I hope Prince does not get involved in this project. he might do it b/c he might be desperate for PR, but I have faith that he has the sense not to.

tznekbsbfrvr said:

i really dont think Prince would do it for the PR

I'm curious...how many of you who think this is/would be a bad idea thought the same thing about him performing on any/all of the following?

--Saturday Night Live

--American Idol

--Good Morning America

--Super Bowl

--Las Vegas


If you are against this Live Earth thing, but not bothered by any of the above, please say why.

After that acceptance speech at the NAACP awards (where he talked about having the Earth in your hand etc. etc.), it seems that he would be a shoe-in for that event.

Time for Prince to put his fame to good use.

I have a feeling though that acceptance speech was just about the music biz, not about the "planet".

so it was bad for him not to do We Are the World and now its bad for him to do Live Earth. What's the difference. both are supposedly for a good cause. please explain?

Milty said:

Yeah...because...you know...paper milling is so much more environmentally friendly than petroleum refining.

If you believe that, I have some Kimberly-Clark PCB sludge from the Fox River I'd love to send you.

Apples and oranges.

Genesia said:

Why?

jone70 said:

Because the list you provided is comprised of commercial ventures that aren't pretending to be anything but.

Live Earth (just the name makes me want to barf) is a commercial and political venture parading as altruism.

I really, truly hope Prince is smart enough to recognize the distinction and say "no."

Who said it was bad for him not to do We Are the World?

Genesia you are so wise!

I don't know about all that. But I do recognize hype, self-promotion, and profiteering when I see them.

Milty said:

Greeny people often tear down perfectly good houses and think of the resources to gut rental houses for 6 months until he is sued and forced to change it back wasting more resources. Greeny people often fly back and forth weekly to record at home instead of finding a recording studio in Vegas. Greeny people take limo's everywhere because of the great gas milage. I mean I could go on and on. Some people want Prince to fit in with their beliefs even when he clearly doesn't.

It saddens me to no end that some people actually think the shit in the newspaper (let alone the NeoCon, G-Dubya-lovin' Washington Motherfucking Times, for Chrissakes!!!!).

Check out http://www.3121.com

Looks like he is gonna do it!

I'd have no problem with him doing a few cuts for a worthy cause.

I am actually shocked about the arguments in this thread..

How can anybody; republicans or democrats or JW or whatever think that it is a bad idea to do something for the earth.

I think it is arrogant.

I guess all you "anti-global-warming" guys are americans.
I always been scared by the political system i US - but this scares me even more.

America has the most to lose in accepting human impact on the earth and adjusting their habits. So the rhetoric isn't surprising really.

Anyway Prince does seem a little more concerned than your average patriot:

"Who told me Mr. Man
That Eye got a right 2 moan?
How 'bout this big ol' hole in the ozone?"

SpecialEd;

I think you have a point here.

Very sad tho´ - wake up america !!

Looks like he may be doing Live Earth after all, well judging from the updated pics on www.3121.com anyway, interesting. That picture reminds of his poem when he said something like "Imagine if you could hold the Earth in the palm of your hands."
