That's quite an assumption to make. What's your main prority in life? | |

Well, Hallelujah! I've been saying that for the last couple of years. I'm glad to see it's finally sinking in with the masses! Now as soon as all y'all quite be so quick to throw your money at him, maybe he'll get his damn priorities in order! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

I wonder why you think so ![]() Everyone gets paid for their work, it is only fair Prince gets some money for his art, I can't see anything "wrong" in that.... but maybe we are talking about jealousy from some of you? ![]() "I just don't mind if I one day went broke" Prince said something like this in the MTV interview 1986.... didn't he? ![]() [Edited 4/12/09 6:22am] Prince 4Ever. ![]() | |

Prince's main priority is to have love in his soul....
Giving that God inspired Love away through music is a blessing. Money is a tool, it depends on how it is used. I trust that Prince knows how to spend the minutes of his life. ![]() "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

If he was only interested in money why would he agree to sell the Lotusflow3r set at $12. | |

I'd have enough money to get WIN that Opus Sotheby Auction! ![]() I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

"You can think you have nothing and have everything. You can also think you have everything and have nothing." What's more important than God, health, family, friends and loved ones? Life is an illusion. Prince is a very wise person. Money is not his #1 priority. [Edited 4/12/09 6:32am] | |

For the last several years, he's been acting IMO, extremely hard up for cash! The Vegas shows, the billionaire birthday party performance, American Idol, 21 straight shows in London, the celebrity parties, etc. ![]() ![]() I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

then how do you explain his complete and utter failure to continue selling his non WB back catalogue? 1.)Prince told us back in the 80's he doesnt care to win awards. 2.)Prince told us back in the 90's to screw the record labels 3.)Prince is telling us in the 2000's its all about 'the BANK' Guess..thats about right. Art takes a second seat to BANK $$$$$! Reason I didnt pay $77.00 this time around. GMAN | |

![]() ![]() Do you guys really believe Prince is all about money = greed? Really? ![]() Prince is just ambitious, he (sometimes) wants his records to be successful, if he's doing american idol, then people complains (so it seems), and when he's not promoting his records - then people complains too, he's just (sometimes) ambitious, Prince is all about the music, creating and playing & of course he (sometimes) wants his records to sell, & he wants to get paid for his work, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Noone I know about likes to work for free, ![]() Prince 4Ever. ![]() | |

Do you have any quotes of him actually saying all he cares about is money, or are you just talking out of your ass???
I vote for the latter. He's not just a musician. He's a businessman, and a damn good one. You must want him to die broke like James Brown or Bo Diddley. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

This is one of the most ridiculous topics I have seen in this forum in a long time however I was compelled to comment.
1st. why do people have a problem with Princes success or the way he conducts his biz. It’s no different than any fortune 500 company, Wall Street, or wal-mart. Nobody complains about those executives getting paid millions in relative obscurity but (same people) will complain about princes website, concert, and products as if he should be above profit or is responsible personally for every mishap (get a grip). He doesn't physically handle all these responsibilities; he simple heads the Prince brand (get it). 2nd. If you want to say prince only cares about money you should have picked another artist to hang that on. Anyone, who has created as much music and performed at his level (around the world many times) as Prince has. There dedication to art should/could NEVER be questioned. Do you even know what it takes to record and perform (1) song. Now keep multiplying 3rd. The above entitles (in my book) Prince to take a victory lap or two (which he has been doing) and collect on his time invested (he's already given years of entertainment to the world). The above mentioned Exec's do way, way, less in the course of their work and reap exponential reward. So please quit hattin' (just live yo life besides "its just ink and chlorophyll"-"Money"by:Prince) ![]() | |

you know there is alotta talk around here about Prince milking some cash cow from his fans, I just don't get how you can be fans and ask why does he treat us this way you are an adult and he is offering a piece of his heart those interested if your not interested than fine , let us who enjoy Prince enjoy him with out this idea of greed, Prince is a strong man and I appreciate his talent, and if cost me 11.98 pr 31.21 it's all worth every penny | |
