Here's a question for the Minnnesota orgers. I don't live in Min or even in the US so I am curious to

know how people in Minnesota especially Minneapolis view Prince. Is he a home town hero and

a source of local pride like say John Lennon was and is in Liverpool where he has statues, an airport

and schools named after him, his face painted on murals etc. Also if I went up to a random people on

the street, figuratively speaking that is, and asked them for their opinion on P what kind of replies

could I expect?

PEOPLE LOVE HIM! ONE NIGHT SOMEONE TWITTERED HE WAS GOING TO BE AT THE DAKOTA IN MPLS. BEFORE YOU KNEW IT, IT WAS PACKED OUT! THE SHOW WAS STOPPED BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GET UP ON STAGE. PEOPLE WAITED, WAITED, & WAITED. BY MIDNIGHT I JUST KNEW IT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO I LEFT. PEOPLE STAYED UNTIL IT CLOSED, IT WAS A NO SHOW! SO - THERE YA GO - PEOPLE FLOCKED TO SEE HIM.

7/7/07 - PEOPLE WERE STANDING FOR HOURS IN THE HEAT TO GET TICKETS TO THE AFTER SHOW AT 1ST AVE!

HE PROMISED HE WOULD BE BACK....IT'S 2011!

In the words of RANDEE ST. NICHOLAS:

"Those who have spent the most time with him are both frustrated and inspired.

To know him is to know that you probably will never really know him and to question that is awaste of time....

wasting time is something one should never do...

and something Prince holds in high disregard......"
