Oh come on Prime, haven't they drummed it into your head yet, Prince is a BAD, BAD, TERRIBLE person!! And, people with a heart and a bit of common sense are soon laughed at, ridiculed and made to feel like lunatics on this site!

You're damn right he didn't need Morris and Jerome doing The Bird at Coachella, I'm not putting them down, but what would that add to his credibility at the present time, and you can bet your life hardly anyone there (apart from Prince fans) knew who they were. P gave them a vehicle to make money for the rest of their lives with The Time, and even if he does feel he has done them some disservice in the past (which I don't personally feel he has), he seems to try to make up for it time and time again!

That's for sure, and goes for ALL of us! It seems whatever may have gone on in the past, has been buried, forgiven and forgotten a long time ago - or they wouldn't be on the same stage together!

im not claiming prince is a bad person...i just find it weird that one would walk away from these performance thinking, 'wow...prince is a good person.".

it's an odd thing to say.

Ok Ok .... does this make it better.... It was pretty nice of Prince to bring back some old friends to perform with him. Even though he didn't have to, it was nice of him (for a change) to put some money in Morris', Sheila's and a few other pocket year after year. JMO Sorry about that I expressed my feelings about Prince's character the wrong way....he's not a good guy but he is nice.

Peace & B Wild

Because he thought the same thing I did, it was good of him to share the Coachella stage with Morris and Jerome, he didn't have to do that - I don't think it was for his benefit, that's all....

Cheers erupt as Prince takes Coachella stage

When Prince stepped onto the stage, everyone in the packed audience at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival knew they were witnessing Coachella history, and the crowd erupted into applause and cheers accordingly.

The stage was filled with fog as he took it, about 25 minutes late, dressed in a flowing white suit.

Festival promoter Paul Tollett said he has been wanting to get Prince to play the festival for years.

At one point, Sheila E joined Prince on stage and sang her hit, "Glamourous Life."

After 20 minutes of a Morris Day and Sheila E. reunion with Prince on the guitar, he launched into 1999.

INDIO, Calif. (AP) — "Coachella, I am here." Prince hit the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with that announcement, heralding his arrival as the much-anticipated headliner of the summer festival.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, Prince strutted onto the stage wearing white pants and a white shirt with glittery fringe. His performance, the centerpiece of the three-day festival, was announced only two weeks ago, immediately making an already very hip festival of 125-plus bands significantly more in-demand. And Prince knew it.

"You are the coolest place on earth right now!" Prince declared to a sea of tens of thousands.

Prince, who had been sought out to perform at Coachella since the festival was founded nine years ago, told the crowd that when he agreed to perform, he informed the organizers that he would not only play, but party too. True to his word, Prince then launched his band — complete with a horn section and background singers — into "Jungle Love." Morris Day came out to sing his song, while Prince strolled around the stage with his guitar.

For the beginning of the show, Prince preferred to let his guitar do the talking. He also welcomed the singer and drummer Sheila E, who took the lead for a song and then joined Prince in an extended jam. Finally, Prince satisfied the crowd with a celebratory performance of "1999." His classic "Little Red Corvette" soon followed.

One of the big surprises of Prince's concert was his cover of Radiohead's "Creep," which was sure to be one of Coachella's most talked-about performances. With some lyrics adjusted, a ripping guitar solo and extended falsetto crooning for a finale, Prince's "Creep" had the crowd slack-jawed. To close the set, he gave another unique take on a song not his own: the Beatles' "Come Together." He urged the audience — whom he called his "choir" — to sing "Come together, yeah" over and over.

And just as trepidation was beginning to take hold in the crowd that Prince might actually leave without playing "Purple Rain," he returned to confirm that even in the desert, it could rain purple. Even after the encore, though, he came back for more. "They're telling me that we got to go, but I can't leave!" Prince shouted. He then flew through a torrid version of "Let's Go Crazy."

Prince had widely been considered the one act most all concertgoers — a diverse 60,000 of indie rockers, electronica dancers and pop fans — were certain to see. And by the end of "Let's Go Crazy," Prince had seemed to put his stamp on Coachella lore. "From now on, this is Prince's house," he shouted before triumphantly strutting off stage and tossing his guitar 30 feet behind him.

Eevn though Prince is looking good, when I actually study this picture it's ALL KINDS OF WRONG!

The comment has propaganda written all over it. Who spilled the purple cool aid?

Morris, Sheila, Jerome, and everyone else who has been with Prince should never, ever, ever say anything bad about him. Do you know how much money he has placed into their pockets?

Prince is a good man....

In October 1998, Seacer (along with Tony M.) filed a lawsuit against Prince, claiming that Prince hadn't shared royalties that Levi and Tony were owed for songs they had co-written for Prince's NPG Publishing, including "Sexy M.F." and "My Name Is Prince". In the end Mosely and Seacer settled for approximately $40,000 each (apparently, not even enough to pay their legal expenses), having sued Prince for $800,000.

Thanks for picking this one out for me, else I had to do the searching.
Tempting pose for flies.


This Prince pic, reminds me of weekly emotions...

I bet he doesn't want to eat his vegetables. Is that what's happening, Carmen?

No, he likes vegies, if you would give your hand he would probably eat that too
This was around 19.00 so he was tired, I think I might have been a little teasing and he doesn't like that.

Sounds good, but Morris Day & Shelia E. @ Coachella??? People seemed to enjoy themselves, though!!!

Maybe not everyone is sick of "the same old, tired hits" afterall!!!

Ooooh AaaAAAH, Princey still loves his guitar like in the good old days.

Because he thought the same thing I did, it was good of him to share the Coachella stage with Morris and Jerome, he didn't have to do that - I don't think it was for his benefit, that's all....
