Dutch spa shows Prince the door (from http://www.nu.nl/achterkl...-deur.html) (loosly translated)
[Dutch] spa shows Prince the door
AMSTERDAM - Prince didn't recieve the preferential treatment he is used to thursday [the 18th]. Gordon and his men band Los Angeles, The Voices threw a spoke in the wheel.
The American musician stayed in the Amstel Hotel and wanted to make a relaxing visit to an Amsterdam spa. At the same moment Gordon and his following were giving interviews in the "exclusive" spa facility, the management of the Dutch singer informs.
Prince apparently returned to his hotel. The 52 year musician did be known to return quickly to the spa on the Sarphati[street]. Prince was in The Netherlands for a performance in the Arnhem Gelredome. When the singer returns to Amsterdam is not known.
*** Personal note 1: please don't make me explain who Gordon is... Personal note 2: ...aftershow in Paradiso before/after his next visit to the spa...???? [Edited 11/19/10 14:34pm] All that bathing in purple rain just can't be good for your health... | |

You are either Dutch also, or you have NO IDEA how right you are...
Problem is I really can't explain who Gordon is without probably either sounding nuts or sounding derogatory, and he seems like a really nice guy to me, all be it a bit "much", so I won't. Maybe some other Dutchy wants to give it a try... But basically, it's a wierd kind of irony that of all people in the Dutch entertainment business it has to be Gordon who's in the spa Prince wants to go to, although in essence it doesn't really matter.

Oh, well, Prince, like the rest of us, has to wait his turn once in while... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Iets klopt niet. The article says he wanted to visit an "Amsterdamse kuuroord" (spa) which implies one outside the hotel, like in Amsterdamsebos. But the end of the article says that Prince will return to the "kuuroord (spa) in the Sarphatistraat, which means the Amstel hotel spa, because the Amstel has its own internal one.

That link also has the same story with a different title. "Prince left in the cold" I presume the cold was the luxury of the white mercedes and back to the Amstel or just back to his 5 star luxury suite.
Also, correctly translated (from the article) they say Prince said he would return soon to the Sarphatistraat spa. "De 52-jarige muzikant liet wel weten snel terug te komen naar het kuuroord aan de Sarphatistraat." Anyway it's all interesting.
Pity there were interviews being given, he proabably needed to the rejuvenation.
