We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Prince did not organize this charity, Prince did not care about this charity, Prince was not involved in this charity, Prince did not donate to this charity, and Prince was not going to be performing for free.

This was JUST a gig for Prince, NOTHING ELSE. It could have just as easily been a millionaire's birthday party. But it wasn't. It was someone else's charity event that Prince was booked to perform at.

Someone. Else's. Charity.

I've been to his concerts...he makes his "fans" wait hours on end before the show starts! Very disrespectful to say the least! You guys are on drugs if you think this isn't about money. He's greedy, he hasn't made a descent album in years, and he's a hypocrite! He's been divorced twice....

I was at 2 of his MSG shows and they started on time. Seriously...why are you on here if you hate him so much?

What would you recommend Prince do to make up for the recent cancellation of the Super Bowl charity event for the scholarship and ticket holders? The NFL just announced the 400 ticket holders whom had a ticket fiasco during superbowl would receive 3 times their ticket value in return and free tickets to next years Superbowl. I am now appointing the Orgr's to be Prince's management for the day to come up with a plan. Now go on and think outside of that purple tounge box!

He should donate some dough to the charity.

i haven't dipped my toe into all the threads about the cancelled gig yet but from what

i've read on news sites, it wasn't prince who was to blaim for it not happening, right?

but i gather there's some rather negative fall out, some from media but most seems

to be coming form the fan community. surprise, surprise, lol.

i guess if prince wanted to do some damage control, just to shut people up, he could

perhaps release an online EP or something and donate the proceedings to charity.

not saying he has to or he's in some way obliged to but it would probably be a good

way to get some positive publicity from all this. that is, if he had a manager or some

kind of support team to advise him for a change.

like "look people are running their mouth again and here prince just puts out a few

new songs with the proceeds going to the people who were to benefit from the gig

in the first place".

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Well, had I wasted a trip to Dallas and $1500+ on that bullshit...my WRATH would be MERCILESS and downright VICIOUS!

Since I didn't but some deserving children did...SOMEBODY has to think of them! Because Prince sure as hell didn't when he was reportedly on Friday, sitting his ass in his limo outside the hotel going...

[img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/BBHM-1.jpg[/img:$uid]

The event's organizer (that Arnold guy) has refuted the claim about Prince being outside the hotel and has said that Prince wasn't there.

The scholarship kids (who aren't really kids) got reimbursed. All the ticket holders got their money back.

Prince may or may not do something nice for the scholarship recipients. The whole thing just happened two days ago. If he does something for them, great. If not, I'm not gonna worry about it.

So...well, that's about it.

"The event's organizer (that Arnold guy) has refuted the claim about Prince being outside the hotel and has said that Prince wasn't there."

So goes to show another lie by the organizer/organizers!!!

There is a lot of conflicting information about exactly how close Prince got to the Hotel InterContinental on Friday night. Since the organizers were promising all week that the show would go on, I'm not putting much stock in their account of what happened.

If Prince never looks at this website, and no one in his inner circle looks at it, then I agree it is a waste of time to talk about what he could do to make people feel better about the non-Event. I guess I was under the impression that he is vaguely aware of what people are saying here, since he directed a song lyric recently at the "haters on the Internet." In any event, since there isn't much brainstorming going on here, I guess I'll have to find some other outlet for my frustration.

Don't be frustrated. Just learn to spend your money more wisely. hug

Don't spend it on someone that doesn't appreciate that you would spend your money on them, in the first place.

Don't spend it on someone that would have their name attached to something that would cost you money but if it fell through for whatever reason, would deny any and all culpability and head for greener pastures, without so much as a second thought.

Don't spend it on someone with a proven track record of dealing with shady irresponsible people when it comes to their business dealings.

In more precise words...the next time Prince gets to peddling his wares and services in or near your town...

Just say no!

I'll let you know 90 days from today (May 8th). If there aren't any reports of the actual money never being received, checks bouncing or lawsuits. Until then... bored2

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Nothing, he don't owe anybody anything. It wasn't like he was the one behind the charity or anything. I wish people would stop blaming him, its not his charity for pete's sake!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol
