Remember this clip from the USA Today article?

"...says Prince, who's exploring a TV channel start-up to unleash his massive video archives."

Hmmmmm...

Here is the link 2 the article:

I would be living on the site if he did that. It's possible, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Imagine he unleashed some of the videos from the vault on such a thing?

Getting onto the site would be an achievement!

I would need new undies, for sure!

Oh my God, I would lose every part of my mind if that happened.

All this speculation. We are either in for a real treat or a serious letdown. I hope its the former.

I'd love to watch the Second Coming. Prince, loose them drawers!

well considering that he edits the cursing and explicit talk out
of his songs these days [remember the edited npgahdio tracks!?],
i think 80% of his 80s video's might be too hot for that channel



i would settle for live footage and some rare videos that hardly
ever get shown these days.

prolly why he was such an asshole about the youtube thing.

Today's Prince is a grumpy, old, and modest man.

Gee you think so !!! If you were planning to show your own videos from your private collection would you not be mad that some other site was letting people put them up.

I think a lot of you guys are going to feel really stupid if this website takes off.

He may be a crazy li'l bugger...but there's usually a method to his madness.

Good point, and besides, YouTube is terrible... usually crappy quality.

...and don't forget this (from the USA Today article):

'Cyberspace "is a black hole to me," he says. "YouTube is the hippest network, and they abuse copyright right and left. You see a song like Purple Rain turned into Pure Cocaine; what should my response be? I chase the money to find out who's behind it. It's a matter of principle. I don't want my music bastardized."'

oh good lawd
I swear some ah y'all are walkin sexual hormones

What's the lyric?

If she don't have the new Prince jam, gonna be a scene. I can't stand anyone cursing at me when I'm clean.

Anyone really think we'll hear the Vault tracks we're looking for?

31/01/2009 is my BET

I ain't make no plans and it's a Saturday. Yipee Yipee Yahoo

In Time ..... just another great Sly Stone song ....

Now let's hope the clips will geton the site, and maybe some dvd's will be released as well.... (wishfull thing mood)

IT AIN'T OVER

That would be a great idea. On the various music on demand video channels on cable, they don't play a lot of music videos of artists from back in the day. I remember we had AOL music on demand, and I've seen some Prince videos on there back in 2006, but it was only about two, and they also played Sheila E's glamorous life. Now on the music on demand channel where they just play music, they often play a lot of his classics.

In 2007 I remember BETJ playing some of Prince's videos from the late 80s/90s and they often played the "fury" video as well back in 2007. Not sure if that program is still on their schedule. I'll have to check.

To subject the future with an infusion of love, light and victory in all actions in your life by broadcasting yourself to the world is; in fact, commendable and at the same time a great expecation in a challenge.

In actuality - it would be plausible to notate a divine intervention and guidance in doing so - if the objective is to share the message of true love, then so be it and peace fullfills the world, like a flower in bloom.

Our actions are tv's to others; so it makes sense to share the actions outward globally with all brothers and sisters of the world.

Final note:
It will be highly interesting... and just imagine, if you were tested to become stratocastor (ahem) I mean telecastor on LotusFlow3r Interwebnational TV digital frequency.

That would be fun; even for me simply to observe and enjoy.

"Take it easy and thank you for allowing me to share some thoughts"...over and out QuietSeven (SingMia)

ON AIR...

I'm SURE I've been saying he had a plan, and there was a bigger picture regarding the Youtube thing since the day I joined this site...!! But would anyone listen to me, No!

You have a point there, the boombox was popular in the 80s and the movie purple rain came out in the 80s, so I guess that tells us right there we will be seeing some of his classics from that era, like music, videos and airing of the Purple Rain movie, also, probably music/videos/concerts from other artists associated with him from back then too. Okay, that's all I got.
