Has the Org ever thought about a campaign to get P a star on the HWF??

ok this may have been discussed here previously, so forgive my redundancy but just wondering if The Org ever thought about helping to start a grassroots campaign among Prince fans to raise the money to get him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? We all know 'lesser talents' have gotten them. I hear that u have to pay for it which is probably why many deserving talents don't have one. I also hear that in many instances fan clubs raise the money. i think btwn the org and HQ a thousand fans might consider paying $10 bucks to get our man a star. we could secure it thru pay pal.

(insert all balks and negative feedback from the "overly critical, ungrateful, P was only relevant and "worth it" in the 80s chorale" here)


even though he doesn't pursue such accolades and he might do or say something possibly a#@-holish, i think it'd be a gr8 way to demonstrate our gratitude. because even with some uneven releases, no other artist peaks my anticipation and gets me to the wrecka stowe like P. (like i'm just getting NPS right, and Wasted Kisses, The One, Until I'm In Ur Arms Again are AMAZING!).

anywho, i'll stop here and pull a "janet" now and say feedback, feedback, LOL

It's been discussed a number of times.

http://prince.org/msg/7/222334

The current cost is $25,000

The nominee has to agree to accept the award in person.

And, of course, it's quite possible that Prince has no interest in this type of award.
