This is my worst nightmare. I know the Family will cheapen his image for easy $$$.

He himself set up the licensing arrangements before he passed, saying that his music would now be available for use on the TV; in movies / commercials.
.
I do think that the placement needs careful consideration - but I'm not above a bit of humour!
.
Diamonds and Pearls - DeBeers Jewellers;
Thieves in the Temple - burglar alarms / home security;
Housequake - house insurance;
Computer Blue - Apple (or similar);
Pink Cashmere - Jaegar (woollen) clothing;
Pussy Control - Tena Lady Incontinence products;
Controversy - Daily Mail;
She's Always in My Hair - L'Oreal (because I'm worth it );
Days of Wild - safari holidays...
.

Well, if P 'himself set up the licensing arrangements before he passed' I guess it's no BIG DEAL. Still it stopped me and made me turn around again tonite when I heard Prince's 'SOUND.' A commercial for 'MAXIMUM ALKASELTZER' was playing an instrumental snippet of "Look at Me, Look at U."

I, 4 1, wouldn't mind hearing Prince's music used in many different mediums. I've always thought that his music wasn't used enough when it was definitely good enough. He has in IMO many songs that could enhance movies or commercials, plays, etc.

.

And yet you ignore that Prince himself blocked all that or demanded such ridiculously high sums that no one bothered.

Bart..you are stuck in the past..

Prince set up NPGMusicPublishing for EXACTLY this purpose....

READ ALL ABOUT IT !

The company will be responsible for ensuring Prince receives payment when his compositions are used commercially. It will license compositions, helps monitor where they are used, and collects royalties on behalf of Prince. It will also secure commissions for music and promote existing compositions to recording artists, film, television, video games etc.

Irresistible Strips with french fries that are crisp

Irresistible Strips oh I wish I could resist!
