Dr. Funkenberry: Prince Is Everywhere

Prince has been all over recently. For good and bad. The bad first. From being heavily misquoted in the New Yorker to a lawsuit from Revelations, the perfume maker of the 3121 fragrance, which Universal Music has already said the lawsuit is without merit.

Also, he has been all over in good ways. A cartoon Prince was made on The Simpsons 2 weeks ago, A Family Guy Prince aired last sunday, countless mentions of Prince on the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert, and to top it all off, a Prince tribute band, “Purple Reign” performed on The Late Show With David Letterman last Monday. Can you say Pop Icon?

Prince has been all over L.A. recently. Well, not exactly Prince but these poster’s are popping up all over L.A. as his book 21 Nights is getting a 2nd promotional push.

The book, which covers his 21 nights in London from last year’s o2 Arena show’s also has a CD on the inside of various after show’s and is entitled Indigo Nights. The book has sold well so far and has made the New York Times Best Seller List.

I don’t know about you, but I am diggin the orange font and design for the 21 Nights writing in this poster. I don’t know why. wink

We hope the people so gracious enough to provide us with the photo will hopefully provide us with some posters for giveaway.

Also, as we told you here before, Prince invited Big Boy & The Power 106 crew over to his house for dinner and to listen to some new songs that Prince was working on. It appears Big Boy & Crew are tight-lipped but we were able to find out some info we will share when we have more details. It was easier when Big Boy was really a big boy, because all you would have to do is buy him a steak and he would talk. Needless to say, Big Boy n crew did not talk but we still got the info for ya. (BTW, Big Boy, you know I am joking.)

Hopefully, we will have more information as it becomes available about that. Until then, back to the limo pookie!-Dr.FB

SNL just did a very, short stint tonight on their show as well regarding Prince. They showed a pic of Prince on the left side of the screen, with the phrase "Spread the Word" on it, and one of the SNL staff doing the usual reporting segment.mentioned something about Prince becoming a JW and showing up at residents doors to spread the word about the faith. Then the SNL character doing the reporting at SNL made a comment referencing "Prince is coming" meaning he may show up at your door to spread the word. It was a funny, but short segment.

Or someone being fed the info under the pretense of convincing the masses, "If you kiss Prince's ass and do exactly what he wants without question, maybe you too can be in the know!"

disbelief It's sad really.

All in all, pretty meaningless.

I think should Prince should just go back 2 suddenly unleashing whatever album he wants 2, without warning, and without concern 4 public perception.

The only possible clue of anything here, is the mention of the new fonts...




I don’t know about you, but I am diggin the orange font and design for the 21 Nights writing in this poster. I don’t know why. wink


This sounds like a hint that this font and colour may be used on a new album, or other product.

Well, he also says:

P.S. The reason I am not posting the info we got is because the person is someone I have not delt with before. I rather wait and be right then post asap and be wrong. Until I have more concrete info, it will be kept under the covers.

That makes sense to me. It was a cool analysis of what's been going on with Prince lately and I'm happy to hear something with Prince.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Despite the internet being 'a vast wasteland full of porn and predators' or whatever it was Prince said about it, he obviously has someone on his team that feeds information to 'Funkenberry' knowing it will at least get to the fan sites.

Unfortunately it seems to be the same sort of non-information and hints at things that never transpire that the official Prince sites always gave.

Basically, I don't care about any of this fluff. I just want new music. I'm a musician, and I respect that Prince stays musically refreshed, but these Dr. Frankenberry reports all mean nothing without hearing the MUSIC. Yeah, I said "Dr Frankenberry",'cause this is about as fruity as the cereal... not that i liked that one. BooBerry was far better... not 2 mention Count Chocula.

Peace.
