Wow, nice. Gotta see this.

Thanks for the personal message Africa Channel Staff. We are definitey looking forward to the next view!

Awesome, thanks! Y'all did a great job on the show!

I love hearing about things I have no access to!

Looks awesome!

That clip was so funky! I loved the live version of 'Let's Work' and 'Cool' in the background.

More hints (pictures as well as music) that Prince is focusing on a Controversy era theme this year - perhaps a Controversy inspired album will be released. Fitting as I am hitting the big 30 this year too!

Wow watching this makes you think some Prince fans are so nuts...the amount of people with symbol stuff on their clothes and bodies and doing really corny renditions of his songs, honestly no wonder Prince gets freaked out by them and wants to ibe difficult with fans.....but Prince please remember there are some of us who are sane human fans out there who respect you and the music without worshipping or going for full idolatry!!

I've always felt that by tatooing or wearing the symbol people are subsuming their own personalities and identities for someone else's.

As someone once said "Why be a second class imitation of someone else when you can be a first class version of yourself"

Aside from this a cool piece, looking forward to seeing more!

Those aren't clips - they're promos.

Call your cable company and ask for it to be added. I just did that and got the rep interested in it too.

Way to go Serena! Keep spreading the word!

Time Warner Cable Channel 87

TheDigitalGardener said:

Can you include more live footage this time instead of the awful interview snippets?

Thanks.

Hey DG, thank you for the comment. More footage is coming soon in the hour long special!

inspireof said:

I think it's awesome but it sucks for people who don't have access to the channel via their local cable providers..

I know we can request the cable companies to add the channel to their lineups but that does not helps us now...

It would be great if you could provide a pay per view link to the show on your website or something..

Hey Inspire,

stay tuned as we are looking into alternative ways of broadcasting the show. Thanks!

oh cool -- when's that?

Just grabbed this from the latest thread to keep it all in the same place (given that the news story links here):

Go to The Africa Channel website and watch the First Act of Prince! Behind the Symbol.

Prince recently announced new concert dates: April 28th, 29th, & 30th live at the Forum.

We at The Africa Channel are gearing up to film more exciting footage. So stay tuned!

Here is the link: http://www.theafricachann...videos.php

Enjoy!

Thanks guys - looking forward to seeing more

(I'd petition my cable company, but for two problems; firstly, I live in Australia and secondly, I don't have cable )

YAY! I'd go for a pay per view thing too, especially if a portion was going to charity or something like that. Sheila E's Elevate Hope Foundation would be a great tie-in for you!

Looks so awesome!

Wish I got this channel though, or had the money to get it

They are clips (clips being short) of items within the show - no need to be pedantic. lol

and ditto again on alternate ways to have access; I'm considering switching to a cable service that doesn't have Africa channel yet
