"Midnight Special," concerts were a lot of fun on tv...
I can see a show called, "Jam sessions." That kind of reality tv would really capture the music lover's. Just a bunch of people getting together and wingin' it.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Having a "hit" these days (in the 'Top 20' sense of the word) is 90% promotion/marketing and 10% craft. You also have to appeal to as broader market as possible - in particular, the 13-25 'young adult' age group. Prince definately has the talent and the craft to do so, but not the, or the hunger for, the other 90% required. Can you really foresee a 50 year old Jehovah's Witness, with no major-label backing, who has a history of 'odd' behaviour*, and who half the population thinks is gay, maintaining consistent and lengthy sales from today's teenagers? Believe me, it would be funking AWESOME if it happened, but it just ain't gonna happen no matter how good the song is. *name change to an unpronounceable symbol, writing 'slave' on his face at high profile events etc. Great post. Change it one more time.. | |

He should do a ballad with Ashley Simpson, but don't drown her voice out in the mix. Something along the lines of an update to Arms of Orion. Error Message:

. . combined with (annoying) success in recent years of people copying his classic style (Justin T, Pharell, etc.)..... . . . combined with the fact that "producers" nowadays are basically just guys who know how to work an MPC sampler . . . . Doesn't it seem like it's time P dusted off the old Linn LM-1 drum machine and SHOW THE WORLD HOW IT'S DONE??? The producers of today are making WEAK beats using MPCs, or samples that pale imitations of the classic Prince beats. So now could be the time for Prince to take out the original machine, and do some innovations with it like he used to..... and make it new and fresh again! (the thing is he didn't just use the Linn, he did stuff with it no one expected, ran it through effects, played it backwards etc.) Think of When Doves Cry. The whole song is basically a complex, intricate Linn pattern with a killer guitar part (and a few spare synth hits). ANd no . . . this doesn't mean it will be an 80's rehash...cuz he make it new and different as he's always done. While he's at it, he could bring out the Oberheims too..... but one thing at a time!!!  You still bothered with "charts"? Actually no. Read post #51  |

That is all Linn drum programming right there. | |
