But it has fake diamonds on it!

-------- It is a pimp cane and I doubt those diamonds are fake. I hope that you guys are young which would explain the ignorance of your comments.

Let me put it this way, I'm younger than Prince is, but old enough to be a long time fan. A "pimp cane" and a 55 yr old still trying to be a pimp........come on!!!

Breakfast can wait is a pretty weak track in my opinion and I dont think it will be on the album but I do think RnR love affair will be there. The highlight will probably be The Breakdown and I also like 2y2d but it sounds better live.

It's weird, because we are talking about him pushing a more rock oriented vibe, but a lot of the music that I've heard so far, isn't really like that. RnRLove Affair & Screwdriver aren't much different than the similar pallet of songs like Guitar

*

I'm definately interested in seeing how this lays out, Breakfast Can Wait, That Girl Thang, and some of the others I've heard (not released) aren't "rock n roll"

I don't think it's very likely that those tracks will be on the album. They obviously don't feature the band, and as you say, they aren't very rock & roll.

Still holding out for the day that Prince talks like a normal person.

Don't hold your breath.

It seems that Kobalt is a new Mega record label/Distribution Company!!

Here we are again: Prince gives another interview where the readers have no idea what he is talking about or are left to figure out their own interpretations because Prince won't allow himself to be recorded.

It's spoke of on the Org and the people who don't understand or have their own interpretation of what he said are basically told to STFU, Prince is the best, yadda, yadda.

Prince, like in interviews past, will not clarify anything he says so he is left to leave himself open to any negative criticism from the hardest of the hardcore fanbase. People will say he doesn't care what his fans think but come on, of course he does.

Still holding out for the day that Prince talks like a normal person. I'm not remotely interested in trying to figure out what this interview was about.

It's just that when you hear that new version of SIAIMH that you can't help but Fall again.

Btw...this is what Pioneer Press made of their 5am Denver interview with Prince. They sent a sports columnist 2 do the interview...

Well I think the most critical part of that interview/story from Prince's camp's standpont was:

Tickets for Prince's Myth show are $259 each, on sale through Etix and the Myth box office. Call 651-779-6984.

This newly found availability to the MPLS press is out of necessity to push the 6,000 $259 tickets for his MPLS shows.

I think I was 2 fast as now her full interview has been posted, and yes I agree that the Myth shows r mentioned 4 a reason: http://prince.org/msg/7/397475

What does my getting out have to do with anything? You're getting all angry, defending Prince because you think others are insulting him, yet you're referring to him as an old pimp! .........Take a seat purple1968, and stay there.

That's why I want him to be crystal clear and not say things that could alienate people. The world should go and see these wonderful performances.

i admire his honesty, how could he have done all this rock stuff with old people? i hate working with old people too.. moany & groany with no energy, fuck that!

he knows the rock stuff goes down well with the fans & i think he wanted an excuse to tinkle with his songs. having a bunch of pussy riot type kids about gives him a licence to misbehave

Jon Bream Talks Prince (RADIO PODCAST)

Star Tribune music critic Jon Bream spoke with Prince recently. Jon joins Chad and gives insight to that conversation and what plans Prince may have about his future in music.

rap said:

Why do so many journalists seem so overwhelmed by him, that they're reluctant (or afraid) to challenge him with real questions??

Jon Bream was probably afraid to ask any of the questions that would push Prince's buttons, since he had been banned from Glam Slam and Paisley Park for ages. He wasn't like DrF who praises everythng Prince does, so Prince didn't want him around. They're obviously looking for publicty for the Myth shows since they haven't sold out, and I would think that would be a little embarassing for Prince.

Regarding the cane, its not a old man cane, its a pimp daddy/I'm bad mother shut your mouth cane!

Exactly! He's been carrying around pimped out canes since the early 90s, ones that he was sued for not paying for I might add.

----------- I am not angry about anything. I am more puzzled by the level of stupidity of some of the comments. If you go back and read I am not the only one who does not understand how P dissed (the Great Music God who's ass must be kissed) Dylan and insulted the elderly in this interview. In addtion, even if he did it has no bearing on my life as it appears to have a bearing on the lives of many clueless orgers like yourself.

I say you must not get out much because you seemed to not even understand what a Pimp cane is or another definition of Pimp. I know it is hard when you are sheltered but let me school you.

Some people define Pimp as a guy who knows how to hustle and make it the world. I think at times P may see himself as a Pimp in that manner which is not considered an insult.

I am glad someone knows what it is going on and I believe he did pay those people after they bitched in the media.

Prince said:

“They are like my kids,” he said. “And I’m learning from them. Young people have the new ideas.”

Is this Prince sort of admitting he has run out of fresh ideas, and needs a lifeline from younger bandmembers of whom he can 'steal' new ideas/riffs and use them as the base of his own new songs, just like he often did back in the 80's (before he dumped The Revolution)?

I don't think it's like that. I think Prince is at an age and point in his career where he's gettting a lot of satisfaction simply from just being able to help bring someone else along. The music I've heard from 3rd Eye Girl makes me feel like this is more of a 3rd Eye Girl project including Prince rather than a purely "Prince" album. He's always liked his proteges, but now at his age, I think helping others establish themselves while maintaining the essence of "real music by real musicians" is more important than ever. Just my guess.

:eyeroll: Here we go. Leave it up to pseudo-intelligent-in-the-know phonies to come stampeding in to sound like they are the ones with the best interest of Prince and not those around him. Give me a break. Don't you think after all these years Prince can decipher who has his best interests and who doesn't? That is why you are here on the internet talking about it, and they are there in his "royal court" with his trust.

GoldenParachute: LOL - I think you are making a major false assumption of who has contact or knows Prince. Do not assume he does not have true friends providing their honest support and will speak out publicly. And do not assume who "appears" to have a persons trust because someone is temporarily being provided mentoring. He calls them HIS KIDS. That is not implying trust but implying someone requiring his guidance. And obviously you have an idolism issue because the only "royalty" is Jehovah and Jesus. Prince is merely a man who has been given a gift of talent from God. He is a Christian and out of his kindness of his heart providing people mentoring and opportunities.

Prince has been doing that since the early 2000s when he felt he had to help Chaka & Larry and a few others, because of their place in Music history. A BET interview he was on. Actually if you think about it, he been doing that since the latest 80s (Mavis Staples, George Clinton) and forward, helping those whose career overall wasn't moving anymore

*

And he's been doing the helping/satisfaction thing since Musicology/Planet Earth, right? the Twinz, Tamar, Shelby, and few others

*

I don't know, most of the music outside of Live Out Loud, sounds like Prince:That Girl Thang, Screwdriver, RnRLove Affair, Breakfast Can Wait, and some of the others unreleased/leaked, all that sounds like Prince,

Really?? the hardest rockers with substance are older people

The man looks amazing, wish I could age that gracefully.

I think Prince wil release the album under the name 3rdEyeGirl like he released albums under the name New Power Generation with Prince on most leading vocals (like newpower soul)

tatocorcu said:

Fixurlifeup is on iTunes as a 3rdeyegirl release. So I now wonder if his relationship with kobalt will end before it starts because they signed Prince and they are getting 3rdeyegirl instead... I hope I'm wrong, I want to hear the new music
