Seriously... there are some different details... but it really makes me wonder if this was just a mass press release... and if that's true, and no one actually visited, it makes me question the jounalistic integrity of any of the magazines and newspapers who published it.

Just a thought... but it's all very strange...

Sigh... You guys still don't get it: this is Prince's MO. Go read all the interviews he did around Emancipation: he did non-stop interviews for two days at PP and they all sound exactly the same. He just kept saying the same BS over and over, never answered questions. He does this all the time. Read the Ebony POS: it's Prince saying what he wants to say and completely ignoring actual questions.

Same with pics: go look at Prince pics and notice how many of them are virtually the same, despite being taken years apart by completely different photographers. I've read plenty of complaints from well-known, respected photographers who never were able to get Prince to do anything they wanted, and thus they ended up with bland pics.

They've obviously set up this scenario and then invited a bunch of journalists and replayed the same scenario over and over again. But instead of controlling his message, this makes it look creepy and phoney. He wants to pretend he's very open (no bodyguards, etc), but instead all I see is Prince putting on a fake show.

everybody just stop feeding the trolls.

That's what a lot of people are thinking, and I tend to agree - though, I think a sort of "press release" printed outline was probably handed to reporters visiting PP and they were asked not to deviate too much from it until the album release. It would help explain the word-for-word similarities of several "interviews" and the additional information that is coming out now after the newspaper give-aways, such as new songs that remain unreleased.

It was reported that Paisley park was getting a very thorough housecleaning prior to the press invite.

It seems Prince's need to control a situation has reached epic proportions. I doubt he realized how ridiculous it would look when different reporters all had the same exact story. Of course, not everyone reads all of these articles like we do. wink

Let's hope everyone is not as ridiculous as a lot of orgers. Most artist do a day or two of interviews and press. I think most non-orgers are aware of this and will not over analyze.

Honestly some of you need to get the bugs out of your asses.

Bart

Do you EVER have anything positive to say about Prince or anything he does?

I mean, if you're hatin' that much, than what are you doing on this website ... look on the top of your screen, it says "online fan community".

And yes, of course it's okay to be critical, but all you ever do is to spew negativity! If you don't like the guy and his work that much, then get over it and move on instead of hanging around here!

Bart has lost all credibility when it comes to Prince...He is merely the Org's resident mascot Troll...

And it's a shame....Because at times Bart has made some eloquent, honest posts about Prince in the past....Unfortunately, they get overshadowed by his obsession with overanalyzing/criticizing everything the man does...

But he's not even the worst...It's the enablers that continue to support him that should take a long look in the mirror...

YES! They need a good bugger detox! biggrin Bart didn't get his plus sign 2 day?

Call People magazine, Rolling Stone. Call your next of kin, cuz Bart's ass is gone!

Anyone in that situation would want to control the press or it would be a free-for-all. The press could ask non-related questions and go off on a tanget in their article. I'm sure the press could spend a week asking Prince off-topic questions about his life and music. I've noticed many media outlets just take a press release and write a story without ever talking to their subject nor listening to the music. I guess they are on a deadline or don't want to spend the time and energy researching what they are writing about.

Nice piece. It's good he thinks the best is still ahead of him, and who knows, maybe it is. If he keeps slinging stuff up, eventually something should stick. Also good to see he's not pimping his faith to everyone he sees these days. I suppose it's also good he's at least listening to new music. Now he needs to figure out how to deviate/elevate himself from it with his own flavor, something he used to do effortlessly instead of trying to write a Justin Timberlake outtake.

Although I still can't understand how he could have possibly thought Hot Summer was something to show off to anyone.

No hard feelings.

I enjoyed reading that. However, I wish the journalist would have aired his dislike of certain aspects of tracks directly to prince. I appreciate why he didn't but I think his music could benefit from a little outside honesty.

Prince can read...hes not oblivious to criticism..juss sayin'.

Obviously you don't understand what the discussion is about or you haven't read the articles in question. These are not stories picked up from the Associated Press or other news agencies, nor are they credited as such. The issue here is that every single article about the Paisley Park visit(s) are written from a first-person perspective and signed off by different reporters, yet they all seem to have played drums with Prince, personally asked the infamous question about the "dead internet", had a private performance and requested the same song to be played when asked by Prince what they would like to hear.

This doesn't add up to anything but a completely false scenario painted by all of these journalists and the PR spin team at Paisley Park. It's certainly not as simple as several writers gathering around for tea and a Q & A with Mr. Nelson.

Again, it's not as conspiratorial as it sounds, but it is very obvious that Prince has lost complete sight of any perceived reality of an image that's nothing short of a caricature of the insular, reclusive control freak.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Squirrelgrease, thank you for saying it more articulately than I could have biggrin

I don't love him, or his music any less... I just don't think it's a good way to approach his promo.

Jeez, you are freaky fanboy/girl scary. Don't ever assume I don't know what the discussion is about. I read those articles and found it on par with the rest of music journalism. You forget that this was a PLANNED media event so everyone there is going to have the same/similar experience and talk about the same things that happened at the press event. A "false scenario" ? You're trippin'. Did you want the journalist to make stuff up that didn't happen?

It is like going to Disneyland with 2000 Americans. 95% of the Americans are going to describe their experience at Disneyland the SAME or SIMILAR to one another. Same rides, same food, same long lines, same puppet shows, same tired feet, same drop in the rollercoaster ride, etc.

I don't know if you are really young... but almost all adults plan and try to control their image & life especially when it pertains to their career. In fact, it's expected. Try going on a job interview and discussing your favorite topic and the interview will be over very quickly because adults don't like their time wasted. Most adults try to control their career in many, many ways like being prepared and planning out their week. Your perception that this is "control freak" behavior is off base.

As for Prince losing "complete sight of any perceived reality of an image" and "insular, reclusive control freak" - you're trippin again. No one expects Prince to be running the streets. If Prince was so insular and reclusive, he wouldn't do club "after shows" for those in the know nor would he have parties at his LA home.

Yes, it could not be possible that the writers had a chance to play drums, have a private performance or asked him questions about the distrubution of his new cd which is what the article is about in the first place eek

He did similar interviews during Emanicpation and the doomed developers for Lotusflower got a concert and so did the entire press group for the Superbowl.

My question to you Where have you been that you missed all of those past interviews?

I'll bet you go through a lot of Lee Press-Ons when you come here to furiously defend Prince no matter how idiotic the argument may be. It's certainly your right to support everything he does with such fervor, but I recommend safety goggles so you don't take one of those bamboos to the eye.

Jeez, you are freaky fanboy/girl scary. Don't ever assume I don't know what the discussion is about. I read those articles and found it on par with the rest of music journalism. You forget that this was a PLANNED media event so everyone there is going to have the same/similar experience and talk about the same things that happened at the press event. A "false scenario" ? You're trippin'. Did you want the journalist to make stuff up that didn't happen?

It is like going to Disneyland with 2000 Americans. 95% of the Americans are going to describe their experience at Disneyland the SAME or SIMILAR to one another. Same rides, same food, same long lines, same puppet shows, same tired feet, same drop in the rollercoaster ride, etc.

I don't know if you are really young... but almost all adults plan and try to control their image & life especially when it pertains to their career. In fact, it's expected. Try going on a job interview and discussing your favorite topic and the interview will be over very quickly because adults don't like their time wasted. Most adults try to control their career in many, many ways like being prepared and planning out their week. Your perception that this is "control freak" behavior is off base.

As for Prince losing "complete sight of any perceived reality of an image" and "insular, reclusive control freak" - you're trippin again. No one expects Prince to be running the streets. If Prince was so insular and reclusive, he wouldn't do club "after shows" for those in the know nor would he have parties at his LA home.

Oh boy. I think you may want to look around for a while before trying to call squirrelgrease to the carpet on shit. Just sayin'.

No JeromeJack is on point you and Squirrel Grease need to start your own board so you can discuss the nonsense theories about how isolated and controlling Prince is after all you both know him so well that all of us uninformed orgers need your analysis. (LOL)

I blocked Laura ages ago. She's actually the only one I've ever had to block in my orgnotes. She can get really scary - trust me.

But I wont be partaking anymore in the jacking of your thread.

Wow you must be off your meds!!! Because I only org note people who contact me first with total bullshit and once I realize you are out on a day pass I ignore org notes from people like you.

I'll bet you go through a lot of Lee Press-Ons when you come here to furiously defend Prince no matter how idiotic the argument may be. It's certainly your right to support everything he does with such fervor, but I recommend safety goggles so you don't take one of those bamboos to the eye.

falloff

Squirrelgrease, I want you declared President-for-life of the org.

I second that!

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

Wow once again get on your meds!! You are the moron that is analyzing someone you do not know from fucking Adam. With some bizarre idea that the press day for the CD did not really take place. In addition, I am not the only one on this board who thinks you are a nut ball. I think you have been drinking the Lee Press On nails solution on the regular.

I do not even read half the org notes I receive and I rarely send any to orgers mainly the mods. Stop making up stuff that is not true or people are going to think you have issues. No one is stalking you or cares that much about your post and if you are scared seek help.
