That's where he excels, and where he should focus his musical creativity.

Thats where he USED to excel. For me though, Microsoft Excel is more excelling than his current, bland output.

Lets face it. His creativity is all washed up. Nothing more in the well. He now focusses his energy in a cult belief system. He is as mad as ever, only now his nuttiness has a different direction.

I still like his music, and I think he's still does a good enough job at it. But I do agree that it lacks the liveliness and joyfulness of the past. Indeed, the cult he has adopted has syphoned it all out.

However, concentrating on distractions like launching perfumes is such a waste. He is ignorant of many issues involved in the manufacturing of a perfume's fragance. Starting with the development of the scent. He's not knowledgeable of what a quality scent smells like. I was so disappointed when I read how he relied on trying it on himself to determine what shape the scent was going to take. neutral
Also, he says he intended it to be a unisex scent, but only asks for the input of women fans. disbelief

NEW YORK (AP) — A perfume company is claiming that Prince and his music publisher failed to honor a contract to help market a fragrance named for the album "3121."

The breach-of-contract lawsuit was filed by Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics Inc. in New York. The company says it licensed Prince's name, likeness and the album title "3121" to market its fragrance.

Revelations says it put $2.5 million into the project and agreed to pay Universal half of net profits from sales of the perfume.

But the lawsuit claims that since the launch of the fragrance in July 2007, Universal and Prince have failed to participate in various promotions for it.

Universal did not immediately return a call for comment. Prince's music studio in Chanhassen, Minn., did not answer several calls.

I feel that just by having prince put his ok on the fragrance was enough
most people that know his persona bought the fragrance for this reason
at least that was why i got it how ever if there were agreements made that were
not followed upon then thats what the lawyers are for but i hope it works out
because i know its hard to live a calm life style when you know some one on your life is unhappy good luck and happy holidays to all.

Translation: The perfume company wanted him to appear in those cheese-ball ads for Macy's with Puffy, Usher, Jessica Simpson, Martha Stewart, and others and Prince said no. falloff

like billy said in purple rain ..ur rambling only makes sense 2 u

and when someone says "loyal" hah! prince don't know u. so what if u didn't buy the product because the manufacture is suing prince. that makes u look foolish cause u don't understand that there was a contract and prince failed 2 live up 2 it. get it through ur head, prince makes TERRIBLE business decisions and hardly follows through with plans 4 his projects.

Strange... I received one of these little ad cards for the perfume in my MIT survival pack just a couple of months ago [in Sept.] So he still has been promoting it recently it seems.

I should sue Revelations! They took my money long ago, and never sent me any 3121 perfume...
I could never get my money back after contacting them several times.
Had to buy some off of Ebay!
