Prince & The AEG group, do they control him?

This is just a hypothesis and opinion, but I believe there is a much larger influence behind Prince and his actions of late, one that " REALLY " puts the butter on his muffin. I am talking about The AEG worldwide Group, the money behind all of his concerts since The Musicology Tour. The man who is the " A " in AEG is Philip Anschutz, a very wealthy billionaire whose company owns The Staples Center in LA and The O2 where he just finished his run. Here's a link about him.

and one about AEG

If you add his JW's beliefs to this man's power and influence, I wouldn't be surprised that Prince is letting him direct his business more than anything else. I am not implying that P doesn't make up his own mind and decisions, or that he's easily manipulated, but its real strange that Prince's attitude towards fanclubs has become so strong. This is just a theory of mine, I'd love to be proven wrong. What do you think?

I think P is in some sort of partnership with AEG. No bad people to hook up with.

Prince owes AEG a small fortune - he does what they tell him to do.

Mr Anschutz sounds like the perfect rolemodel for Prince...

Check out, for example, Fortune magazine's new list of America's 25 Greediest Executives
http://www.christianityto...-22.0.html

"But Philip Anschutz has been criticised for his support of right-wing organisations in the United States. Most controversially, he has donated large sums to Colorado for Family Values, an overtly anti-gay organisation"

I was just pointing out the fact that the man Phil Anschutz owns and runs The AEG company, which funds and supports Prince when he tours. At least here on earth, PA is the one with all the money and control, Prince in a contractual way works for him, unless you expect Prince to fund his whole tour schedule with his OWN money.

P was funding his own tours during the Emancipation period.

JWs don't take part in politics. We don't financially support "family values" organizations or the like.

I think youall don't quite understand JWs yet.

no no no!
