 It was for the ones who brought up that party in the first place, lol.
And you may be right about the "fam." Some of them will stand by and agree with Prince no matter how poorly he treats them.

Mark my Words my Friends!  I have to disagree with you here, you have to think more positively
If Prince really hated his fans do you think he would have opened up Paisley Park last year after YEARS of the doors being closed to fans and offer tickets at a really low price? I highly doubt Prince made any money from that show with the low ticket prices, cost to SHUTTLE his FANS to his compound and costs to pay his band and team and cost to keep the lights on. That is not the action of an artist who hates his fans. He was willing to play all night and everyone in attendance as well as those who attended in spirit know Prince CARES about his fans. You all have to remember music is a BUSINESS and need to separate the personal relationship you have with Prince in your head thinking something is owed to you with the actual business that needs to happen for Prince to put food on his and his peoples plates. Everyone makes mistakes and at times make poor decisions whatever they maybe and we ALL learn and grown from them. Many artists do absolutely nothing for their fans, appreciate what you get, when you get it. | |

Prince fucks up a lot of business endevours because he is a control freak. the very same qualities that have allowed him to create and carry on a 30 year music career on his own terms are the same that cause what ever his latest debacle is. Surely u folks realize that they are flipsides of the same coin. I would hate for Prince to bring himself to u guys level by speaking personnally to u. I know what would happen. Every word would be parsed and he would be desrespected with name-calling and such. Just it would be more directly to his face. So far the so-called fans have called him a dick, has-been, idiot, thief, loser, everything short of a murderer or anti-christ. Its all not that serious. And if it is serious for u need to go to the doctor and get some xanax because some of u people whole existence seem to revolve around the latest twist in his existence. While the internet has given everyone a voice and access, it has also revealed how ego-centric, greedy and down right mean a lot of folk are. Its the id run amok. So yes I hope this latest debacle makes a lot of u go somewhere where u can vent happy thoughts instead of venom. But what I think will happen is those of u who love to degrade will just intensify the hate becuse it the hate that fuels your life. 
Well put tricky  I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

No disrespect or nothin', but I'm not delusional nor in denial of anything. MJ has never once screwed his fans with a damn website. MJ.com has been pretty thorough in maintaining a happy fandom, as I can attest to (although after his untimely passing  , Sony really fucks around with us a lot. They're worse than the fucking FCC). I honestly don't know why Prince mistreats his fans so...but leave MJ out of this, please. He has done nothing to merit this kind of attack.
Yeah, I love Prince. I think he's an amazing artist. But as far as him opening a website goes...I'm not joining or investing my money in it. The org is probably one of the best P fanbases I've come across, so I'm sticking with it.  
Peace out  I wasn't making the comparison in the way MJ treats his fans. Just that the level of famhood is the same when it comes to these Gods who can never do wrong
[Edited 3/29/10 10:28am] heh...alright then. Peace, my brother.  Justice4MJ | |
