WELL i did it! I subscribed to Ebony.. JUST from the "rumors".. I live in Neon White Wisconsin where u just WONT find a copy of Ebony!.. $15 for a year.. I thought WHY NOT.. if i get a CD out of it.. Then price justified... if not.. more reading material in the bathroom, at least there will be SOME kind of Prince content so.... I'm feeling justified.. and its a HELL of a lot cheaper then $77

So my question did anyone else subscribe to Ebony on the pretense of the "rumors"...

I am curious tho.. why is a one year subsciption to Ebony for 11 months? Just wondering!

there isn't a Barnes & Noble or Borders within 50 miles of you?

or just a newstand?

I love rural america, I've been to Hudson Wisconsin and they even have a walmart and target a few miles west by the MN border but maybe you're on the otherside... ;p

Because most likely the July/August or December/January is just one issue.

sovembol said:

So you subscribed to Ebony for a whole year in the hope you get a Prince cd with one of the issues?
You arse!

I would not do that. For one you it may not be process in time to get the june issue. for 2 it is just a rumor. If it is true ebay will have them or get a org friend to get you a copy.

\SO do not do it I am sure you will be able to find a copy.

They don't all carry em. The "demographic" in my area typically does not carry "ethnic" magazines. I did fine the Ebody at my local Barnes & Noble's yesterday. My wife and I did a dry/test run ...

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I live in Wisconsin, too - and there are plenty of places to buy a copy of Ebony.

Edit: Okay, I see you live in Bayfield. That could be tough. So, get your butt on Highway 2 and drive to Duluth. Or put out a call for someone to buy a copy and send it to you. Either of those options would be cheaper than subscribing for a year.

Yes the original poster subscribed to Ebony because of Prince, Get the F_ck over it already. So did I. Why not!?! Does everyone here have an Asshole (Opinion) About it? Bring em on!!!.....

It is just silly. For one the CD thing is a rumor. Are you even sure you will get the July issue if you just subscribed?

Now if there is a CD and if you get that issue then I guess it might be worth the $15. But hay good luck with that. But there is really no need to get all upset.

Honey just cuz i said fuck in my post doesnt mean I'm upset. This place does'nt make me upset. The fact that we (New Orleans/Gulf Coast) have over 200,000 gallons of crude oil leaking into our gulf everyday gets me upset

The post asked if anyone got a subscription to Ebony Beacuse of prince/Album rumor. And i replied. No need for all the other comments about what if, youre crazy, no bookstore/newsstand. This place is getting ridiculous about anything regarding prince.
If there is no Prince cd with the mag, Big deal!! who cares??!!?I plopped out 15.00 for a subscription to ebony and thats what i wanted.
When it stops being about the music, the music dies.

Genesia said:

Ha ha, this thread is too funny! Yes Duluth would probably be my closest route and I'd spend more than $15 to get up there to buy it ,if they had it.. I REALLY dont mind, buying the subscription, It'll be kinda nice to get a magazine in the mail from time to time...
