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 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! 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. | |

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
I don't love him, or his music any less... I just don't think it's a good way to approach his promo. [Edited 7/26/10 19:37pm] | |

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.

"his 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."
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
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? | |

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)

Maybe we will, darlin'. A response I would expect from you--snide, rude, and sarcastic. Just like 98% of your responses on every other thread at the Org. | |

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.

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

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.

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. | |
