I would be running things like a roadie at a Motley Crue concert if I had access to Prince! Spreecast is something for these nerds to try to make "connections" with fans.

I think Funk got the scoop on some 3121 party's first and then Prince started leaking info through his blog? Way back when people had blogs, before twitter and facebook got popular.

What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

Dr. Funkenberry is an internet blogger with his own website and has meet Prince numerous times, been to numberous concerts (60 plus) and Has direct contact with Prince's camp and with Prince. Doc funk is an independent newsource and doesn't bombard his followers with adds and bs. WHich is why Prince(independent artist) is leaking information through him.

The spreecast which is run by doc funk and seth everett was COMMISIONED By PRINCE. PRINCE WATCHES THE SPREECAST THIS IS A FACT . many of the topics in the spreecast were SUGGESTED BY PRINCE.

I think you need to learn the definition of independent news source.

Doc funk isn't sponsered by anyone, its his own blog and works for no one but himself. The spreecast IS SOMETHING ELSEEEEEEEEEE(its not his website). Doc Funk was probably invited to do the spreecast along with seth everett.

Prince has admited to watching the Spreecast. Doc Funk has at many time talked about how Prince would like to hear ur feelings on such and such. Also, alot of doc funks news and predictions have come true. Plus it has been verified by a few outside sources.

We both know that the Dr.'s website only exists as a front for issuing press releases from Paisley Park. The fact that he doesn't get paid for it is a whole extra layer of amusement.

This is a fact but according to Doc funk, "When U have no expectations and no sense of entitlement, U will be rewarded".

Obviously just being chosen by Prince to issue press releases from Paisley Park is rewarding for some in his...organization.

Because (people with low self esteem) have to put down others to feel better about themselves. Putting down via the internet anonymously is the new brown.

Totally not true. Doc Funk first off reports on many things that aren't Prince and His website existed before Prince. AND OF COURSE HE DOESN"T GET PAID. Prince is giving him FREE PUBLICITY. Most of the people who follow him are Prince fans who wouldn't know the site without the PRince news.

Besides DOc Funk also needs to get guest approval from Prince camp which is why we haven't seen doc fink on the show but we have seen bobby z and will be seeing him again this week. Also, Most of wat doc funk has said has come true.

OK, I guess 'independent' here is being interpretted in a number of ways. So, I'll explain that when I say independent, I mean specifically that he's operating his own website without financial backing from Prince [or anyone]. I assume that he is?

But, this makes the situation with DF's site even more tragic me. The Prince "news" and "updates" are almost no different from what we got from NPGMC and Luv41A.com, and my hatred of their Prince updates is the reason why I migrated over to prince.org

The guy is interested enough in Prince to promote almost every video and upcming performance (many of which are funnelled to him by the prince camp), but appears to have no knowledge or interest in informing us of things like lawsuits, controversies, breakups, etc.

It appears to me that, if he's not really a mouthpiece for Prince, he's too scared to upset the balance in their relationship so that he can continue to receive updates from the NPG camp.

That's fine, because his site isn't nasty or vitriolic or gossipy. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. The problem is that I don't find his site wholy trustworthy, because the information that comes from Prince is not really something anybody should trust.

Prince lies his ass off. And, DF is going to one day be a moutpiece for one of his lies.


This makes the org a far better place to at least try and arrive at logical conclusions to prince news.

The spreecast was initiated by Prince and he decides who comes on the show!?! I thought this was a spontaneous idea by fans but this, if it is indeed true, puts a different spin on things.

Dr Funkenberry's blog is clearly serving as the Prince "publicist" and without Prince the blog would attract a lot less traffic.

I don't understand people hating the doc or defending him. I suppose he weighed up the pros and cons of this arrangement and any of us can tune in or out at any point in time.

Well im pretty sure Prince didn't come up with the idea, Im pretty sure either prince camp or his manager came up with it. Prince supported the idea. Doc funk IS NOT PRINCE"S PUBLICIST. DOC FUNK IS DOC FUNK. He's a man who is blessed to get occasional news From Prince camp.

All the bold stuff i can confirm is true. Doc funk is backed by Prince which is WHY WE HAVEN"T HAD TROY GUA ON THE SHOW. Prince wants to hear none of it even though funk per se doesn't have a problem with it.

I defend him because he deserves it. Some of the news we share here comes directly from him and that's a positive thing. Lets have something positive. We can have all the negativity we want right here.

I am not trying to be negative and I don't hate the doc either. I am not emotionally invested one way or the other.

I think he could be a genuinely nice person in the real world but after getting too involved in the Prince...organization he changed. Like Prince, he tries to act like it's "all coming from a place of love" and positive but he's made enough snide remarks and he's even used his site to be snarky to other artists/ex-Prince associates/employees/exes/fans who had issues with negative things Prince has done over the years. I understand he has an agenda. I don't have a problem with it but it is what it is with this guy. He's a sycophant and obviously thinks Prince, his people, and you Prince fans can help him become famous and have a gossip site like Perez Hilton. Maybe he wants his own show like TMZ except on his show he will have a small group of Prince fans from the Prince cult talking about Prince and his associates music as they gladly serve Prince and continue to give him and drfunkenberry their money.
