if we can muster another handful of headlining prince"news" like this no matter how weak we can banish "prince pens fight song" forever

Prince should show up wearing all green and carrying a pot o' gold.

i have mixed feelings about this. on the 1 hand, i wouldn't want for Prince to be "used." on the other hand, i wish he didn't have to go through this legal shit. depending on his state of mind, if he thinks he was wronged, then i can see him standing up for his rights...then again, a part of me wishes he would just pay the cash...he has mo' than enough, so that the fuckers can shut the fuck up and then he can go on with his life and music

I know what you mean. Legal fire fights are never fun. However, there are a quite a few entertainment promotion companies that are not all that honest.

I've closed (as a 3rd impartial party) multi-million dollar deals .. in the 10's of millions. ALWAYS with a signed contract. before any money ever exchanged hands. Now, of course that was pertaining to real estate. a completely different field.

but I did leave Escrow company I worked for and took a job with an entertainment promotion company once. I thought it would fun and interesting and my previous experience could easily transfer over to the new field.

Wrong. turns out that company was very dishonest. I discovered early on...something wasn't right. They were embezzlers and my training and previous work experience in Escrow .. writing contracts and overseeing as a 3rd impartial party the execution of and fulfillment of the meets, terms, bounds, covenants and condtions of those contracts...as a 3rd impartial party...
helped me to catch on quick. So i did not go to work for them.(the concert promotional company)

I'm sure if someone where to check out the background of this particular concert promotion company .. maybe even interview previous employee's for that company ..might be very revealing.

Prince has been screwing everyone for years.Thats why I buy so many BOOTLEGS-so I can SCREW HIM!!!!!

Prince may not have signed a contract with said company, but he did accept the gig as he himself was promoting it. Therefore I would argue that the emails between the two parties can constitute an agreement to perform. I submit items one through 24 as evidence - the emails exchanged.

Also, the insurance company has already made its statement and states that the claim will not be paid as there was no reason for cancellation contained within its terms and conditions. I submit item 25 as evidence, the on-a-whim clause contained within said insurance contract.

This may prove to be something ol' Princey boy may have to face up to. In this case it is the law of the ROI, not the USA. So it may prove harder to defend than he is used to. Especially if he is due to show up as a witness and doesnt show up. He has provided no reason for him not to show up or reschedule so it sounds like he is expected.

But I wonder if it was really Prince writing the emails; or one of his PA's?

MCD will withdraw their lawsuit and go away quietly when Prince threatens to agree to perform at Croke Park and let MCD promote the concert with the understanding that it'll be nothing but 3 solid hours of all the other funereal Minnesota Vikings fight songs he's been keeping in The Vault.

actually HE didn't book any gig, so its not as simple as that...

lezama said:

he canceled. it cost the promoter money.

citrus said:

You didn't read the article very clearly did you...

lezama said:

he (presumably) canceled (something he may or may not have legally agreed to). the promoter lost money. These are two separate facts

citrus said:

Fixed.

lezama said:

an imaginary email was received.

an imaginary amount of money was transferred to an imaginary account.

imaginary tickets were sold.

everyone imagined he canceled the gig without sufficient reason.

imaginary costs were incurred.

tune in to dublin courts for an imaginary four-day court case about an imaginary claim that someone booked a gig prince didn't really cancel at a week's notice
