Diagnosis: Can We Do It 1 More Time? No? OK

A terrible airbrushed picture of him wearing lipstick?

What a generous guy.

Still, better than a horrific plastic throwaway boil on the arse like Hot Summer.

Is this true?

Does Prince actually thanks his fabulous festive folley of fans?

He isn't joking and there is no backlash?

I can only speak for myself, and not for the rest of his loyal fan base, however I would respond:

You'r welcome, sir.

Thank you for giving the purple hippies some credits!

Fun with fonts.

And there is my nice high quality NPG logo! Thank you, Prince! It'll look good on the back of my car...

What's this supposed "history" he set for this run? That Prince tickets were available for $10 at one point in time?

The Purple People,

The Purple People??? Didn't they become extinct in JUNE 1958?

Sheb Wooley - Purple People Eater (1958)

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Friendly little purple people eater
What a sight to see

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune

Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
What a sight to see (Purple People?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the point in his head

(Horn solo)

Tequila

^^ Yep. The purple people eater was a hit the day he was born.

One of all these interesting facts I learned here on the org.

I think that's a good thing. If I want to see him, I have to pay 70 euro. For a far away, see him only in the far distance.

I would not complain about 10$

Really? U2 is playing 2 shows at Angels Stadium here in LA next week. They've been on sale for a YEAR AND A HALF and they're still not sold out. They also have the benefit of a recent album with a huge U.S. release and a major marketing campaign.

Prince had none of that. He announced most shows 4 days ahead of time and some shows the DAY OF the performance, and he STILL sold out at least 10 shows. Yes, Angels Stadium holds twice as many people as the Forum, but compare that to Prince's run of 15 shows at the Forum, 2 at the Troubadour and 3 at the Houe of Blues (not to mention the Fresno, San Jose and Oakland shows he slipped in between LA sets).

It's still impressive.

(really hype wit it) YAYYYY! THE DAY OF LOVE HAS COME!!!!

ur welcome P

I was only joking, nothing wrong with $10 tix, unless you wanted to sell them for $75

but shit $25 was an amazing price for that concert

I was so pissed, I went to LA and he came to San Jose the same weekend

I gets laid...swell...on the regular. Trust...there's nothing bitter about my twat.

Can't believe some folks complain about the opportunity to see PRINCE for less than what it costs to go to a movie in some cases...

Why IN THE HELL is his bottom lip super

I-bought-my-lipstick-from-Sephora Pink

and not the top? Prince, this might be a

new thing for you, but when you wear

bright pink lipstick you have to color

the top & the bottom...or at least press ur

lips together.

He needs to pay his make-up artist so they

will come back. This, the crooked/uneven eye

liner on the Lopez show, and the dust cover up line

on the neck during the Oakland show makes

me think he needs to wear glasses.

People he his a light skin black man. He lips will never be blue black and if you saw an uneven eye liner from the Lopez show your face must of been really close to your television. Get a grip.

It is impressive but do not waste your time mentioning that bands like U2 cannot sell-out in these harsh times just let the naysayers continue to complain about 25.00 tickets

Honey, I know a whole lot of dark skin Black men and not one of them has lips that are blue black. If you know of some men, I don't care what the complexion of their skin is...with blue black lips, they have a problem and it ain't being Black men!

This has nothing to do with him being a light

skin black man, believe me, I know what it means

to be "light skin." Look at the picture, his bottom lip

is a bright/deep pink and his top lip isn't...doesn't match.

I was really close to the TV, not even going to lie, I was super

excited to see him on Lopez. My uneven eyeliner comment actually

came from a freeze frame supplied from someone on the org, it clearly

showed that the eyeliner job was uneven.

As for getting a grip, you should take a page from your own book

I was teasing so

Thats ignorant of you to say that about the blue black lip color, dark skin people don't have blue black lips... so I think if anyone needs to look close up at anything its you. So what if she saw it uneven, maybe it was, who are you to tell her she is looking to closely? I think if anybody needs to get a grip, its you... I was on your squad till I read blue black . If someone has blue black lips, check their pulse, they might be dead! yikes!

I know it might look that way but it is just the angle of the way the pic was taken and the lighting. He doesn't have on any lip stick, .
