If there are any frogs involved in this nefarious episode, you know you're going to be Suspect Number One, right?

Me???? That would be YOU!!! I haven't seen a frog in years, but you surround yourself with frogs.....until you kill them ...hmm maybe the reason is to get rid of witnesses

I don't surround myself with them - they (used to) surround ME!

Have you ever noticed that Prince has never mentioned frogs in any song? Coincidence?!? I think not!

Frogs and toads are pretty much the same !

This 3rdEyeGirl stuff all came to us from Doc Funkenberry and the Doc ain't about to pimp unauthorized bootlegs. I don't think he'd ever do that to Prince.

Next, 3rdEyeGirl had rehearsal footage - the same rehearsal from which Hannah Ford published some footage. That's no accident.

I tip my hat to Prince for creating the drama, though. Well done!

I too think that it is Prince trying to create hype . Not exactly funny IMO especially considering him having his people sent these type of letters to loads of fans before who had devoted their time to do websites, magazines whatever.

Agree!

True, I don' t think DrF would do that either but if Prince is toying with fans on this then it is working.

OK so out of curiosity from this developing story I called the office of Rhonda Trotter and spoke with her receptionist. Rhonda is not in and out of town according to the receptionist. I asked if there was a current pending cease and desist case against 3rdEyeGirl in regards to the leaking of the 3 Prince songs and 1 video. She could not answer yes or no and would not give any further info until Rhonda returns. Interesting..... Of

he should ditch this lawfirm ASAP. that letter is confidential, not to be shared or posted on the internets

good lawd, it's just a bit of fun. Nice one P.

You did what??

I can't believe you actually called that law office. Tiki, did you really think she would have told you without permission from the Attorney? Lawd, I guess we will find out sooner or later if Prince is pulling a fast one on the fans or if it is actually a 'real' cease & desist. Actually I think the whole thing is hilarious.

I didn't mind them making noise when they were in our house . They were cute and I did not allow my bf to chase them away. But we are way off-toic here .

Oh Prince, you so silly!

Seriously though, I like this daft side of Prince, what's gone on recently to make him act out like this, it's fab!

I think by now DrF would have received a c&d as well, and would have taken down his post about the 3rd eye off his blog, faster than robin could whip batman's azz.

This is obviously a game Mr. P is playing because:

(1) All those videos on YouTube are still up. You can still play them. Not muted by the account or taken down willingly or by YT.

(2) Who was the last such person to brag and show off a C&D letter? Those aren't things to laugh off unless you're truely cavalier or foolish. Or Mr. P himself.

But regardless, I'm enjoying this game. Take it as such. Maybe "3rdeyegirl" will get revenge by posting more bootlegs? I hope so, that would be good fun.

True, the account is still there and so is DrF's site with the link.

Looks like the vids are down: "This video no longer available due to a copyright claim by Controversy Music."

You are right....this is all so confusing, because now that the vids are disappearing, it's hard to tell if the c&d is a joke or for real. Who knows? I give up.

He's having a laugh. Up there for a limited time then he takes them down.

I think the C&D letter was legit. When have we ever known Prince to not be all over his releases if they are official? The Dr. didn't state the 3rdEyeGirl came from a source close to Prince, he just said "Don't ask.....just go!!!!!!" as though he knew the material wouldn't be up there for very long.

If that's so, surely Prince will retaliate against Dr. F for doing that? "Bye bye pipeline."

I found about these from Hannah Ford's facebook fan page. I still think its all a plan to get us hardcores in a tizzy. Who cares...I dug what I heard and still excited for things to come!

I don't know because that link and vids stayed up for almost 48 hours, and I would think as much attention that music received, I would think it would have been shut down early yesterday, if that site wasn't suppose to post that stuff. Furthermore, I don't think 'J' would have taken a chance like that and post it on his blog without permission. I actually thought that 3rdeye site was posting that stuff legitimately. Who knows?
