just because there is no evidence for an album release doesn't mean there is nothing to be coming sOOn.
I saw blurry satellite pics of Paisley Park that show a mobile recording device parked in the backyard.
They could be used to record anywhere, anytime w/o the UN or HQ even having a clue. It's also said Prince is in pssession of funk which could be used to enrich his product to be a means of mass entertainment.

So let's discuss the neo-cons and pros of these probabilities

When the album drops everyone can make up their own mind. Speculation ceases and the music begins

Lyrics to "Planet Earth" are now on 3121...

Imagine holding Planet Earth in the palm of your hand
With no regard for your place of birth or claim to any land
The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand
50 years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?
There are only 2 kinds of folk and the difference that they make
The ones that give and the ones that take
Just like the countless bodies that revolve around the sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one that caused it all to be
Then we'll see kingdom come, so shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Imagine you could rid the Earth of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most and which ones would you lose?
Do you want to judge another lest we be judged too?
Careful now... the next one might be you
Imagine sending your first born off to fight a war with no good reason
How it started and what they are fighting for
And if they're blessed to make it home will they still be poor?
Pray for peace right now and forever more
Imagine

Awww. That's so touching... I loved his speech at the NAACP awards and it's great seeing the rest. I wonder how he's going to put it to music...

Based on lyrics alone, it looks like it'll be "Money Don't Matter 2night" redux.

kind of reminds me of "imagine" from the beatles - and haven't been there this beatles-discussion, that he is gonna make a beatles-cover-cd - so seems, that this rumors might be right. on the other hand it also reminds me on "money don't matter tonight" which i love ...

Imagine wasn't by the beatles.

I don't think prince has got the balls to write a song as solid as imagine.

My thoughts when I first read it were that we were going to get another 'Purple Rian', 'Gold' or 'Last December' type epic choon. Lots of strings, choirs and guitar.

It'll probably turn out to be a slice of minimalist funk, sang by Camille though.

Haystack said:

somehow, I don't see that.

Then again... I do see the similarities between PR & Gold... but I don't acknowledge them very often because Gold has personally affected me, PR hasn't as of yet.
I came up with that little analysis because "Money" spoke of similar issues, or so it seems.

Jakeasaurus said:

am I missing something? I don't see the lyrics posted on 3121.com , were they up for just a short time before the new interviews/edition posted?

paisley16 said:

I couldn't find the lyrics either. I had to read through some awful interviews instead.

thedribbler said:

No you're right, he has the balls to right better songs like Purple Rain (much stronger tune than Imagine).

SO- does anyone really think he might actually do Live Earth, since his own website is referring to the rumor now?
I, for one, sure hope so- just got my tickets this morning! anyone else from the NJ/NY area going?

Prince needs to shut the fuck up!!!!!.....per my 11 year old son

myfavorite said:

Well prince is good to listen to, and to look at.

But he's more spacecake than mother natures son

His "earth speech" was dumb!

There must be better candidates than this fella'!

Can somebody please flush it y'all! on the 1!

sarkozyiszeman said:

No way.
Although I will give you that you had some balls to make that statement

chewymusic said:

No confirmation as yet for Prince to play at either the US Live Earth or the UK one

Freudian slip

drscoggin said:

Where did you hear this and how? Info please! Desperate aussie fan here

drscoggin said:

He was listed on the aussie live earth website as an unconfirmed artist. I think the website is several posts up listed by someone else. I went and verified that this was true. He was listed with the other artists listed to perform on the aussie concert. I wondered to myself why austrailia and not new york and then realized his twin twitchers were from there so that might be why the aussies thought they could get him. I haven't visited the website in a while his name was definitely there a couple of weeks ago as a yet to be confirmed artist.
