On the stage of the set of Prince's latest music video, "Rock N Roll Love Affair" reads "NPG Music Club." Could this mean a return to the NPGMC? Anybody have an inside scoop?

For $777, fans can purchase a "longer than lifetime" membership that includes 2 hours to watch videos that will be taken down. The website will be up for 1,000 years, but after the videos are taken down, you will only be able to click on a Jellyfish that brings up a Tony M rap about Manure, which is going to be very similar to his rap on My Name is Prince. Nonsense contained within.

I noticed that too. Same old font too. Maybe this is great news.

If it ever came back, Prince will no doubt be true to his word and for all those who paid their hard earned money on 'the club' and Lotuswanker will be rewarded with an automatic pass go and collect 77quid i.e full lifetime membership, no questions asked.

I think it's all fine. There's probably a Microsoft Access Database, or at least a pretty detailed Excel spreadsheet in the vault with all our personal details and credit card numbers etc.

I for one can't fucking wait.

Lawd.

It's been on the damn floor the whole time, y'all! Never left! Shows you how much baby brother spends his time at Paisley these days.

In cyberspace no one can hear you scream.

He just hasn't renovated the damn place in years. And now people are-over-interpreting things, but that's nothing more than wishful thinking.

The Andy Allo - video was obviously shot in the same room. They could've easily put a carpet over the logo and invest some time and money for decoration. But obviously prince didn't put much effort in the whole project. They've probably shot both videos in one day.

Why cover it up? It's fucking cool. It's like saying I should throw away clothes/pictures/or something meaningful from my past.

Fuck, some of you are dicks!

and the Rainbow Children cover too

I rather see that logo than this -->> I am so

tired of seeing that symbol. It reminds me of fancy cross.

I miss the NPG Music Club...It was cool to see it again and to

see the rainbow children, btw, I have been jamming to that CD

all month ...see below.. ..I like that he kept it simple and

to the point. It felt ol' school. I'm digging that singers are

going this direction in their songs/videos. -- It's great to

see Prince smiling. the song is starting to grow on me...

: Rock..Rock..Love Affair

I think I saw a box of Lotusflower tee shirts in the background

As someone that was fortunate to attend his Paisley Park parties in the 1995-1999 timeframe I can confirm that the videos were filmed in the party room just outside the soundstage. Look at the symbol doors in the background. That goes to the big room. I live less than a mile from a ton of purple magic. His purple house on lake Reilly was torn down. His yellow house built in 1986 on lake Ann was torn down after the Mani experiment. Paisley is looking neglected. It's sad. And by the way...I can confirm that Mani used to go to Paisley Park as a fan(Atic) just like all of us. She was nothing more tha a fan from Toronto that got close to him...my statement bound by opinion, not fact. However, I do remember her standing in the line freezing her ass off with the rest of us trying to party with prince in 1996.

Cool-- I know a lot of us wished we were able to attend

those parties, but I felt like I was

there after reading some of the detailed experiences.

I always think about those that were able to tag along

with Prince to the movies!!

How cool of him to do that for his fans.

People really don't see the caring and down to earth Prince.

He likes to keep that side of him on the down-low.

Wow, Mani was able to wiggle herself into his heart and to

the level of both of them saying "I Do.", she's good.

Pretty face, youth and a fab body won't always bring happiness

because over time that too will change.

I still don't understand why Prince likes to tear down his houses. -

BUT It's His PREROGATIVE, he can do what he wants to do..

Hey P, before u tear down ur next house, call me

Funny. A few years ago I would have thought there was some hidden meaning in it all, but nowadays all I see is recycling. The logo and the RC poster have probably just been in that room the whole time and may have even been caught unintentionally. I can even imagine someone saying "Hey Prince, do you want that old album poster in the background?", "Poster? What poster? Oh. Yeah. Leave it in. It'll make people think!", "Whatever you say, Mr. Nelson"

Ahh...those were the days. I think people fail to realize that he isn't as cut off from his fans as it seems, especially those fans who hung-out at Paisley on a regular basis back in the day. I remember him walking around (dancing more than a few times), talking and hanging-out. More than one fan found that passage way to his heart.

It never fails someone always is going to mention that damn 77 dollars!!!!!!!! LOL
I wonder can anyone bear to listen to the song '77 Beverly Park'? HahahhahahahahaYou guys be tripping!
The website, the money, the promises...The shirt. LOL
I just always laugh when I see a comments about that. Haha
Another reason you got to love Prince!

I think he just filmed it inside of the soundstage that has the logo on the carpet at Paisley Park. I wouldnt look into it. Prince has been there done that he is not going to go back. Just my 2 cents for what it is worth.

I know. These broke-azzes act like that was some significant amount of money. Like their retirement fund has been compromised.

It's probably nothing else but teasing us fans, or -you wish!- it could mean more such as a future NPGMC revival (unlilely for sure!), but claiming it's there by sheer chance? I don't buy it. Prince did it on purpose, in both videos, both the NPGMC logo and TRC painting.

There are orgers starving around the world who you can feed for $77.00 a year. Yes for $77.00 you will get a picture of your disgruntled orger and a thank you note.

As for the logo on the carpet it was kind of obvious that he wanted it to be seen in both videos enough for everyone to know what it was. People Pleaser showed you just enough of it to figure it out (if you were paying attention) and R&R Love Affair made sure you knew it was there.
