I know how you feel.


I almost slit my wrists when Borders Books marked down 3121 by 20% during their holiday sale.

squirrelgrease said:

oh boy. another one that sounds tied to a single project.

can't he just get ONE website with a URL that has something specific to do with him, his name, etc., and stick with it?

errant said:

just checked that last link.... my favorite is "FINGERPRINCE" I really hope he uses that one

errant said:

I agree.

Why not: http://www.prince.com/

or prince.biz

or prince.net or any domain?


Then again, I wouldn't sign a membership with any site no matter what he called it if there was a fee.

Have you just become predictable as usual?

Cuz Prince is an arrogant fuckhole that the majority of the working-class American public could give a fuck-all about. He is, to the vast majority, aa talented nostalgia act, and nothing more. Nobody likes Jehovah's unsolicited at their door, nobody likes it preached to in their music. Nobody likes someone flaunting their wealth during a major recession, nobody likes somebody fucking over the hard-working dollar-paying budget-minded working class.

Prince is washed up.

He has a very limited fan base that he can bully around, and like a wet bitch, we just keep on taking the slaps.

I never bought Lotusflow3r they were charging $60.00 here in Australia and I paid around $70 fo 21 nights

my thoughts on this is to buy up Lotusflower, buy up the vanity book and keep it wrapped and buried in some time capsule. When P bites it, he will be around for the long haul, and these things will all of a sudden be in demand.

he is not washed up ... he wrote 'here' ... so there .. fuck man hes like fifty somethin shouldnt he be earnin 12 bucks a song or at least 5 bucks a song ... i mean when hes good hes good and he is so nice filling out 3 albums worth of out takes but still show some respect .. if he was the boss of any life sucking corporation that u all ;piss ur money away to so they can take ur money and go rape some other country with it ud think it was just fine that he is rediculously overpaid ... regardless of the quality ... he worked hard made a solid record put some time into it and only charged 12 bucks ... yall complain way to much about 12 bucks for a guy thats been just feeding you an orgy of music non fucking stop for a long time

TrevorAyer said:

No, these aren't complaints, these are legitimate gripes. If you joined a cable company and they showed you the same shit over and over and then ditched you, you'd be rip shit . . .

I'm devastated when anything goes on markdown. Shoes and CDs both have feelings, you know.

I know just how they feel. You should see me after a few gin and tonics. Talk about being marked down cheap.

Sadness for what? There are 3 parties impacted by the Lotuisflow3r deal with Target:

1- Prince made plenty of money on this Target retail deal. He was paid on each and every copy of those brilliant CDs that you see in Target so dont be sad for him.

2- Target is not losing money on those CDs if they were selling them for $10 when the album were released and can now afford to offer them for half that prince. Target is making a profit either way and surely built in their margins on expectations that sales would fall off after the initial release because they had an exclusive on what is essentially an independent album. Target was the only corporation that did any promotion for the record and they were aware of that as well. You cant expect Lotusflow3r to sit on the shelves and be restocked indefinitely like Purple Rain.

3- As for the consumers, lets face it - they are dumber than ever. In a world dominated by talentless hacks and minstrels doing techno garbage and vulgar rap noise, real music and those who still do it are not big commercial draws. If people miss out on it, they are not seeking out real music - and you have to if you want to hear some today because it is not on the radio or TV.

$4.99 is still too much for that shitty album.

His music is a product. Yes, he's been recording constantly for a long time - but we've been buying. You make it sound like he's doing it out of the kindness of his heart.

But I do agree with you - the LotusFlow3r set was worth a lot more than $11.98 (easily double that). I am surprised that was so cheap without a major tour to promote.
