Printable see Prince is a genius, not only musically but business wise. This site is such a creative step forward. Three albums for a reasonable price and a website that has so much to offer running with a membership fee that's affordable and worth it. To Sir, with Love | |

"Jack headed bird" could be a b side about an ex girlfriend with a face like a puncture repair kit? If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

The first 2 album covers are awesome. Bria kind of looks like Manuela i think. | |

Me too and I have the money to go but there's a lot happening at home and I'm needed here so it's all about prioritizing for me. I'll enjoy hearing about it from my friends out there and hearing about it here. I hear you purp, and I agree, it will be fun reading the reports from those that attend any of the 3 non-leno shows, plus the leno shows. | |

77 bucks is not a big deal. Im liking the press reports as of late, all three album covers look like they will be a fold out CD package with all the color graphics being similar, and Bria is definately a beauty with a booty. WOW | |

Personally I love the "cheesiness" to MPLSOUND and the duck cracks me up...dont worry Anx I couldnt get past the freaky clown on ATWIAD! It will somehow grow on you and yes lets hope there is a song reference.
$77 - is it too steep? Yes but will I pay it...you betcha by golly wow!
I agree that it should be lower around $20 but if, and this is a big if, he piulls it off this site will be groundbreaking for a major artist to provide this kinda visually stimulating portal into anything and everything Purple! However, as many have said...it is Prince. So...we will see Personally...I think its gonna be the shit! The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

DevotedPuppy said: pplrain said: I would pay $77 just to support my favorite artist, I am sure there is much more that he will give us for the $77 though. If that's the case, then why not just write a check payable to Prince for $77 (write 'unrestricted donation' in the memo line) and mail it off to Paisley Park? That way every cent will directly support Prince.  I will spend my money the way I want to... thank-you very much... | |

I understand people's excitement. I just can't, with good conscience, do this again.
I'll be interested in what the site has to offer for $77 of course, but at this stage... nah, seems like the same old Purple Strategery. We are not being told that there will be included downloads, early ticket access, or any other thing with a perceived value. It seems we may be getting access to a website. Only. Subscription based websites have proven time and again to be a failed business model. Prince will be "number one at the bank" again for the short term. Fans will again be alienated for the long term. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

serpan99 said: There are other new details, as well. Prince will perform "multiple times," in different locations around Los Angeles, on March 24, though those performances will not be streamed or recorded for the site...
I wonder if that means he'll do a hit'n'run tour of various Target stores in the LA area on the 24th??

onecrush said: "Crimson and Clover," Prince's cover of the Tommy James and the Shondells classic (with a little bit of Hendrix's "Wild Thing" thrown in for good measure) is the first single from "LOtUSFLOW3R."
Has anyone else spotted the mistake here, "Wild Thing" may have been covered by Jimi Hendrix but it was originally recorded by an English band called The Troggs back in the 60's Actually, "Wild thing" was originally recorded and released by a group called the Wild Ones in 1965. | |

Whelp...seems like this cherry is ripe for the picking and will be paying seventy seven dollars. "All seven and then watch them fall."  &  | |

I seem to remember paying $25 for a 'lifetime' membership to npgmusicclub.com at one point. That didn't last anywhere near a lifetime. Hope $77 makes it for a whole year. Look at me, Baby! What can I say? Ain't no other fish in the sea! | |
