I've never seen this before, gread read. Thank you!

What a cool article, thanks for posting! I LOVE the song 'Reflection' - although I think it's 'fishnets' and not 'fishing nets' I used to be a dancer and that line always makes me feel really emotional - no not THAT kind of dancer

It must have been such a great time..... excuse my ignorance but is Sonny Thompson the same as Sonny T who played with Prince later?!?

I think sometimes Prince really would like to re-create that kind of atmosphere he had back then, and tries during aftershows etc. not to do the 'I'm a star' thing, but just jam and get everyone involved in the 'party'.

That article was awesome! Nice find, thanks.

That whole mid-70's era was the blacklights and disco thing, A time every body knows as the...chic, good times kinda thing...I was happy to be a young part of that.

Great article, thanks for posting! After reading, I went surfing & found this article....

Brings back such great memories of this past July! Sure wish he would get out & tour here in the states! I'm already in Prince withdrawal & it's only been 4 months! And yup, I was one of those crazy people standing in scorching heat to see him play at First Ave! It was definitely worth it!

Btw, the 4th paragraph in the Target Center review is totally I could so see this happening

Thanks for that. Cool read.

holy crap my mom went to schools some members of the time and the family. Hell i know she went to school tyka nelson but damn this is some news.

This is also a cool read. I read the School of Funk article awhile ago and was inspired to write Prince a letter last year. I was also present for 7/7/07 and I trust Prince about as far as he can throw himself into a crowd. I really don't think he'll play the States, let alone First Avenue any time soon.
