Tom was talking all kind of junk about Prince last Tuesday before the show. He was saying he was going to sit in his chair at the show until Prince played a hit. He also said how arrogant of Prince to have given away his Musicology album during that tour.
Tom has a love/hate relationship with Prince, since Prince was gonna charge him a million dollars to perform on the TJMS Cruise a few years back. Tom still plays his music, even the new songs, but he is still salty over that. [Edited 7/7/14 12:18pm] |

Prince is Prince - not a stand-in for Michael Jackson or James Brown.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |

"As long as Prince is alive, Michael Jackson and James Brown will still live!" means Prince is a stand-in for two dead guys.

I remember seeing Jesse Jackson at a benefit concert in 2009 at the Conga Room in LA. He was losing his mind during purple rain & even got onstage with Cornell West . Luv me some Cornell |

N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. |

I think Rev. Jackson is a bit confused. Prince is so much his own man. The Leaf Shall Inherit The Earth. |

I interpreted this as saying that their legacy will live on because Prince has a similar musical background. A hardworking, perfectionist of a musician/performer. Prince has his own legacy, but he is also a gateway to a certain era, and has a great deal of respect for both MJ and JB. |

Sure, they can say it. But in doing so, they'd be just as stupid as Jesse.

But it insinuates that Prince is derivative of MJ and JB. That he is the keeper of their legacy, rather than his own.

Something Eye always say here. is the only one left here now. Its time to respect & appreciate him NOW! NOONE else from his era can sell out a 50,000 seat arena consistently like him. After over 30 YEARS in the business!!!!
People STOP criticizing him all the time!!!!!!!!!!! [Edited 7/8/14 11:44am] will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. |
