Because everything is hunky dory. I mean, it's not like his latest website was a massive failure. Or that his recent music is so bad even Prince can't be arsed to promote it.

It is Ebony magazine no one in the US expects anything deep from this publication. Since you are clueless about black american I will let you know that Ebony is struggling finacially and I am sure P is just trying to help them out by being on the cover or maybe doing some kind of CD give away to help them sell some mags.

As far as the failed website if P is not worried about why are you worried about. He had a business failure he has moved so should you.

First off Laura, don't be glib. You gotta snap out of that nonsense. It's making you look confused. You're not confused are you?

You have no idea what anyone knows about Black America, or not. Don't start pulling the race card, or some "you don't know the fight, man!" argument. If you don't want to be treated like a victim, stop fucking acting like one. Let's not even go any further down that road, because it'll all be the same stuff we know already.

Perhaps someone should let you know that it's no big surprise that any magazine is having financial problems these days. People are saving their money, and the luxury of a magazine subscription isn't in everyone's cards. So....DUH on that one.

I'm glad you're "sure" Prince is "just trying to help them out", but I could bet your monthly yak's hair weave allowance that you're dead wrong. Prince isn't out to doing charity work for Ebony magazine. I honestly don't know where Prince fans come up with "I bet he did ________ because ________" nonsense sometimes. Really, Laura? Helping Ebony out? REALLY? Selling one month's issue isn't going to pull the magazine out of the hole they're in, not even if Mr. Nelson is on the cover, airbrushed within an inch of his bad hip.

It's fans with blinders on, like yourself, that allow Prince to continually make bad business moves; you're his dupe - in the worst way possible. "Oh well, he tried, bless his heart. What is the next scam website I can join?"

Understood but, we all know he's a JW and conversations are not going to be too off from that Way of Life that he lives. So what more should we expect, think about it. I'm nowhere close to being a JW or Christian for that matter but, I know 1/2 of what he "might" say when it comes to that.

So I just keep it about "The Music" and "some" of the lyrics ...

If he actually sat down with the interviewer and got on the piano and said, "This song started out like this.....then I decided to change it to this...." and continued explaining his creative process, I'd probably jizz my pants.

I do hope he says something about his upcoming projects, but what he's said previously has hardly ever panned out to be true in the end.

& I believe that's what majority of P Fam and orgers would wanna know about: the creative process and new music or concerts that may be coming up. I think we may learn about new music in the works and probably another website. It would be nice if a new album or EP was included with the new magazine.

I wait paitently in the Lotus position ... LoL

With the interview we will get the confirmaton of:

A new DVD from Prince (Montreux shows)

A new double concept album

A new site with full real surprises

the remastering of his wb back catalogue + Bonus from the vault

......i like jokes !!

Yes me 2

Didn't somebody say the ebony is more about

lifestyle and personal things not so much about music?

It was me, but I didn't say it wasn't about music, I said it isn't an investigative type of magazine - that this wouldn't be a hard-hitting piece on every little thing Prince has done wrong in his life. Not that I read it regularly, but I think it's got more of a positive vibe and is into building people up rather than tearing them down. (Cue Bart: "but, but...Prince peed in my Cap'n Crunch this morning, how is that positive?!?!")

I think it all depends on when the vendors receive their delivery of specific magazines. You just have to check with vendors in your area. It will get here sooner or later, just be patient.

This looks cool, can't understand why some people are slagging it off and the issues has not even reached the newsstands , a bit crazy but this is prince.org .... full of lost 80's fan's

Not sure i understand this but the website was rubbish - so they signed up for it ?

The LotusFlow3r album was rubbish so they went to target to buy it?

Now the Ebony interview is rubbish - but they still can't wait to go out and buy it or at least read it ?

I don't get it ?

Prince must be thinking how the hell can i get rid of these bas****

They just won't leave me alone, Madonna, Springsteen and U2 must ban all Prince fans from their fan sites ...so they come here ....

Sorry Prince look's like your stuck with these 80's fan rejects.....

You could ask George Michael if he would like to take some ...

1. Read the article when it comes out before criticizing it.
2. Ebony is a LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE.
3.You don't know what Prince is thinking to be claiming what is so called bad or what he can't be arsed to. You are not a mind reader. Sorry.
3. There have been many articles in the U.S that have been critcal of Prince music.
4. People have been criticizing Prince's music for years now. Guess What Prince is still Prince .
5.News Flash: You do not know what Prince is thinking or feeling. If you claim you do not care for an artist what do care if their work is promoted or not.
You also claim his recent music is so called bad but you want to take issue with the promoting of it.

People just like to criticize for the sake of it.
Very shameful.
