I'd like to agree with you on this one, but I don't know if I can. I mean, is it really a defining moment of pop culture? It was massive for a year, but is not remembered/revered today like say, Sgt Pepper or Thriller. Not saying it shuldn't be, I just don't think it is ----------------------------------------- | |

Not saying it shuldn't be, I just don't think it is Well we do a 80's and early 90's retro show on friday nights and I feel I could play ANY SONG off that cd,ask even the casual to mild Prince fan and that's probably the one cd they could name more than 2 or 3 tunes from,let's put it this way for it's time it's a defining pop culture moment. Haven't half the acts in (so called) R&B today been coping Prince's shit for years? Is the story line to 8Mile not similar and influnced by PR just with a much better director? | |

Here in Detroit, you'll rarely hear Prince on the radio. It's dominated by Top 40.
They occasionally play Little Red Corvette, I Would Die For You, Erotic City, or Kiss. Tron, back me up here . . . |

Unfortunately, the only Prince tunes that I hear on regular radio are When Doves Cry, Raspberry Beret etc.
The only other times that I hear Prince on the radio is when I play him on my show. I try to play at least 3 or 4 Prince tracks during my 2 hour show, and I try to play unheard album cuts and new stuff constantly. Its a college radio station, so the range isn't that great, but hey, its something.  The Mothership Connection... Funk, Soul, R&B, & Jazz every Monday night @ 8:00 p.m. Listen @ www.wqaq.com (We are off the air 4 the Summer. Returning in early September 2004) | |
