ok

Just had a thought.

It will be 17 years since the name change, and long time fans (here) will know that that particular number has a special signifcance for Prince.

First, Rhonda Smith. Now, Ida?

Ida sounds and looks great.

Wow. Are y'all really as jaded and hateful as this thread makes you appear?

sacré Prince

Prince will announce the 20 year anniversary special edition blu-ray release of Graffiti Bridge on November 2, 2010.

There will be many special features including an interview with His Royal Badness in which he will explain what the fuck happens in the movie. There will also be photos of his original script which is mostly doodles of unicorns and rainbows and notes such as "Just let the camera roll on Morris until something funny happens. We'll make it relevant to the plot in editing."

Its just the ongoing hyping of a has been artist. A few dates in Europe (nothing planned too far ahead, wouldn't want to help the fans out eh Prince) playing the same tired old songs.

Yes. They are

So the announcement was the official announcement that there will be a tour?

But I thought we already knew that. We have it plastered on the front page of the org!!! Maybe we're ahead of Dr.F.

Maybe he's going to announce he's got his mojo back...after 10 years we can only dream........

I know this question tends to be overused on this site, but in this case I really feel compelled to ask...why are you here?

You're clearly over Prince and not interested in news of a tour...presumably you have better things to do with your time?

Speaking more generally, can we at least leave these announcement threads to those who are genuinely excited at the prospect of seeing Prince live and possibly hearing any other news of releases, re-releases, etc...?

(that said, I feel a bit guilty admitting that I giggled myself silly at the Graffiti Bridge "announcement" )

Completely irrelevant.

She's really good. Check her out here!

I'm sold.

You know, if we all ignore the baiters like swanny (who has said the same crap for a bazillion years like a certain other person around here) and eire, they won't get their enjoyment from riling everyone up. I know it's difficult not to respond, but don't let others affect your fun and excitement. Their type will unfortunately always be around, they hate Prince and what he does, but don't have anything better to do with their lives than troll Prince message boards.

I saw this on the John Blackwell Project FB page today:

John Blackwell Project May your Thursday be the funkiest!! New Prince dates in Europe being announced, including gigs in Finland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Italy and soon dates in Spain and Switzerland. Look for Asia dates to follow,

and US dates after that!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us

so pretty much the same setlist as b4 ...how typical? :rolleyes: well in this economy prince at least let's people save their money for sure!!

Aha Princes NU bass player for the tour...

She looks a tiny bit like Manuela, just a tiny bit!

come on... every other year Prince gives a new artist a chance

Why not promoting Bria? Let Bria play the bass

[Edited 10/1/10 9:23am]

So the tour news was the announcement or is there still some other news.

I thought the tour daes had been previously announced.

a danish bassplayer in Prince's band..????????

no one's commented on it, but that's a tight fit he's wearing in the pic. I like it. Unique, but looks like something you might find in a store. I wonder if this is a design by the store he visited in LA and asked if they could design some clothing for his tour?
