No matter what..

I always feel that there are not ENOUGH words or honorifics

Surely he IS all that one would Expect a Prince To be.

Perfectly Flawed...

His energy is ,creating an upward shift in Cultural Values

and its a uniting force.

Sing Dance Laugh Love Cry

~Together~

So potent his LOVE, we can still FEEL it..

We are fortunate...

As indicated by the quotation marks in the headline, it was a quote by the promoter: "Longtime Minneapolis promoter Randy Levy took charge of the event in mid-September after efforts by out-of-towners fell through. “I was called in to see if maybe we could put Humpty Dumpty back together again,” said Levy. “It’s more work than I care to do, with so many moving parts. But, in the end, we’re able to fulfill this more as a tribute — Prince songs interpreted by great singers.”

I didn't read anything particularly negative in that article. It seemed to simply report the facts.

I don't follow the media, so I really can't comment on whether I think you're right or not, but perhaps they are actually being protective of Prince by reporting on the sloppy way it appears things have been handled since his death.

Bream's review of the tribute speaks glowingly of Prince, the sentiments of the people involved and some of the acts. His criticism is really about the poor organisation, which is probably fair.

I'll concede that the point about digging up the divorce documents certainly sounds to be in poor taste. Are there other examples in which you think they've crossed the line?

// Yes, it is mostly the Star. Do you think someone over there had so much beef with Prince that they are carrying on with it now that he is dead. I mean when do you let it go? The review in the Pioneer Press is awful and not the first bad thing I have read in that paper.

I rarely read the local papers so haven't seen the review you're talking about. Was it a Pioneer Press review of the tribute show? I read Jon Bream's review. It wasn't very positive but it wasn't anti-Prince it was basically nobody can put on a show and fill a room like Prince did. He's right about that.

"Prince had many talents, but planning live performances wasn’t one of his strengths."

He played concerts all over the world what the f&$! is even babbling about?

Yeah I don't get that. Unless they were referring to the last minute nature of some things he did. Some of that though I think was to try and combat scalpers. Tickets for this tribute show unfortunately were on stubhub the minute they went on sale.

That is exactly why he did shows in his later years at the last minute. This guy is some young punk who knows nothing and is in Minneapolis were all of the info about P is avalible.

I interpreted the ST article on the tribute concert set-up to mean that this size of show takes a great deal more work than a "regular" person would know about. It is a multi-million dollar effort which has to be arranged by individuals who do this for a living. Overall, the ST seems to have had a less than favorable eye on Prince.

Employing CJ for one.

Fair enough, but you know, she's a gossip columnist. You could say she's doing exactly what she's paid to do. I've never read a single word she's written. The only reason I've ever heard of her is that she was immortalized by Prince himself. Just imagine how better the world would be if everyone would just ignore the kind of drivel people in her profession write.

I didn't see any reporting of the Tribute Concert on any major local or national TV this morning. i was shocked. Are people asleep?

I wondered about this too..

Horrible to think but....Could it be becasue he wasnt attached to any Major Label ?,

No one is going to make any money from Album Sales , which would increase with International Coverage.

We Saw MjS Tribute covered on ever Television STation here for Days...

Hello?

This is a filthy, pay-to-play, Hillary-sh**bag world we live in, so with "the press" you may either stroke them financially for results or not.

I like this Levy quote, b/c its, ya know, HONEST, like Prince.

Best tribute ever.

-- It is not just this article all of the print media out of the local Minneapolis has put a negative spin on everything the local T.V stations stories are better. The fact that the Star Tribune actually went to court to open his divorce docs tells you everything about what sort of narrative they want to spin.
