I'm done just giving him MY money just because he's Prince. I've done that for far too long and he's worn that shit out! If he wants MY money, he's been reduced by his own unappreciative ways and actions to having to EARN it, just like anyone else I might choose to do business with.

If...as some I'm sure some here are eager to type right now...he doesn't NEED my money...that's more than cool with me and EXACTLY why he won't be getting it!

I believe Mars23 said he'd design P's next website. That would be the ONLY way I'd join, and Mars would have to let me know he had final say on the decisions regarding the site. In other words...no, because I don't believe Prince would agree to handing the reins over to anyone except "yes men", and Mars doesn't fit that mold.

We always forget that fact don't we just how much sex did Prince get us?
Speaking for me it was a serious amount and still factoring in to this day.
The 'Charade' bootleg got me three girls by itself.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC

LMAO Amen to that

well here's the thing about Prince. he's a political/spiritual/intellectual gadfly. someone tells him a little tidbit that may or may not be true, but is in vogue in certain miniscule circles, usually a conspiracy or some "alternate history" b.s. that has no or very little to do with reality but if you squint at it sideways you can kinda-sorta see how it might possibly make sense in some parallel universe. and he takes it to heart, bases his entire worldview on it, and runs with it to tell all his fans and interviewers so he can come off as "educating" his audience and appear deep, while he's sitting there on a couch wearing a pair of fake spectacles.

it's just kind of what he does. you'll get used to it. chem trails... microchip in yo neck... abraham lincoln the racist. george washington the not first president of the US. CON-tract.... Beyonce being a tool of the Illuminati (no, wait. that's someone else's crackpot foolishness, but give him time...)

My Dearest,

If had a chance 2 c the future,would u try?
'Cuz ve seen the future and it will b..
U and me we got mad chemistry
From Madrid 2 chicago
Don't stop the feelin'...you got me reelin'
From this rat race
My brain is jackin' all over the place
We can skate around the issues if you like
But who's gonna get you hot in the middle of the night?
Don't my kisses please u right?
When u cried, became your emotion
Underneath the cream let's kiss with one synonymous motion
Every day that goes by is another day i'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
and want you more
Cellphone, passport all your inhibitions spread out onto the floor.
Come...closer.feel what u've been dying 4
Pretend am u and teach me without shame
Damn U y do we play this silly game?
hate u..'cuz u're all that's ever on my mind
yearn to learn all the feelings that u never dared to show
Are u scared?

I didn't join LotusFlower.com I usually wait to see how a site goes before I'll join

I'd have to see a new site is fulfilling it's purpose before I join

You may have mentioned in other threads (posted) why you didn't join even P's 1st site. May I ask why?

I assume you're referring to the first year of NPGMC in 2001. $100 was a lot of money for me at the time, and I didn't have it to spare. It was an interesting venture though. I ended up finding the files anyway and listening to the music as it came out. Just before year one ended, I went back and redownloaded everything to be sure I had copies of it all. I knew Prince would never tour close enough to me to benefit from any ticket offers he might have had. I felt him charging $25 the next year just to buy stuff was unreasonable. It wasn't about the $25, it was about the fact that he was charging people to get into a store to buy. I don't feel the need to pay a cover charge just to browse or buy. I have most of the 2002 NPGMC files as well. If they came out on CD (either year), I would have gladly went to the store and bought a CD copy. I'm not sure some MP3s were worth $100.

In a word: NO

I've never signed up for any of them because I refuse to pay just to have the option to buy music. That's fucking rediculous.

thanks for keeping it [mostly!] simple and to the point. It really will be interesting to see what his next move is, he may well have had enough of the net by now?.

funkyhead said:

That's his loss then.

The music is out there already and the fan has a choice; to buy or not to buy. His is: to sell or not to sell.

It's really that simple.

Yeah i would.
As much that i do not like about current Prince music and his longtime whims, I do love a lot of his work and remain fascinated by the persona and the music, and will likely have curiosity about this mans work in some fashion for the foreseen future.

I'm still waiting for my Crystal Ball cd. Anyone else get their's yet?

Yeah, but how much is too much on that? I'm all about supporting the artists I love. I think I own everything Madonna or Janet has released in the past 10 years at least, ad nauseum almost. I own all Prince albums (except N.E.W.S. and One Nite Alone Live). Fuck I just bought Purple Rain AGAIN in that digipak at Walmart for $7.99.

But the website is different. What was promised wasn't fully fulfilled either. If Prince walked by me on the street and randomly asked me for $77, I'd tell him no.

There's a fine line between "supporting" and "being taken advantage of". It's like Prince is an Indian Giver (which is a horrible phrase, but still), where he'll give folks something, but the minute they bitch or say something negative, he's out of there. It's happened over and over. The fact is Prince cannot live up to his own words, and he can't stand when people call him out on it. He shrugs his shoulders, points to the sky and has a weird smirk on his face.

P- R.U. Listening?!!

funkyhead said:

No, he's not.

Militant said:

so basically, you were just donating $77 to the cause.... that makes sense.
