So does this mean "Welcome 2 America" will get cancelled?

[Edited 6/2/21 20:35pm]

Like that scene in Purple Rain where he comes into his band rehearsing and tells them to turn the noise down.

Prince: I said, turn the fucking guitar down.
Miko: Don't curse at me.
Prince: What are you going to do about it? That's what I thought. Punk!
Miko: Fuck you!
Prince: What did you say? What did you say? Fuck you, too, boy!

That's some funny stuff

It's uncannily similar to the Purple Rain scene

The film was meant to be semi-autobiographical. Prince was a hard taskmaster.

Sinead recently talked to Carson Daly for Today. https://www.youtube.com/w...e6uiEJlIHs

Has anyone read the book, specifically the section on Prince?

I stumbled upon this in one of the "quirkier" corners of youtube:

Sinead has some devilish things to say about Prince!

Was it before or after she said this?

I’M TERRIBLY SORRY. WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SAY IS SOMETHING SO RACIST I NEVER THOUGHT MY SOUL COULD EVER FEEL IT. BUT TRULY I NEVER WANNA SPEND TIME WITH WHITE PEOPLE AGAIN (IF THAT’S WHAT NON-MUSLIMS ARE CALLED). NOT FOR ONE MOMENT, FOR ANY REASON. THEY ARE DISGUSTING.

Do you think Sinead practises Shariah law? And she is cool with the historical treatment of women across the middle east? Is she an angel?

But we all know Prince used his fame and money to seduce underage victims just like MJ did. The only difference is that Prince did not get caught.

Thankfully we all know you're a fucking idiot.

I've never heard any accusations of Prince being an MJ-level child abuser, but the dude made some undeniably sketchy choices in his life - didn't he basically groom both Anna Fantastic and Mayte before either were legally adults, and he was in his late 20's/early 30's? The whole Susan-Moonsie-as-an-overly-sexualized-young-girl thing was creepy as hell too. Call it shock value or whatever you want, there were plenty of other ways he could have pushed the envelope without going to that well. Just saying.

Regarding the others it's not my place to say, but Anna Fantastic has herself said that she never even met Prince until she was 19.

I thought she initially met him in a night club in London, when she was 15?

Why would Prince be pissed of by the fact NC2U was a hit? It earned him a lot of money. Chaka Khan covered I Feel For You, it was a #1 hit and Prince was never pissed of. He also wrote many hits for others. Moreover, when an artist do a cover, doesn't the writer of the original song has to sign his approval? I read a story twenty years ago when Alicia Keys asked Prince by phone if she could cover How Come... She said he answered " Ask my lawyers... No I m joking, of course you can". Prince was so glad NC2U became a hit that he performed it at almost every concert after

I'm just going to respond to the highlighted part. Now this being the Org, no one jump all over me please.

I dont think that is true actually. When Rod Stewart did a cover of "Peach" in the late 90s, Prince got all sorts of irate about it and went on Love4OneAnother.com and complained about it. It turns out that Rod just went ahead and recorded it because you actually dont need the permission of the copyright owner. It's one of the reasons why Prince was on his record company crusade for so long.

I have. The whole encounter, according to Sinead, last about 7-8 hours. What she is saying might be true but there is obviously a lot she doesn't say.

Strange, because I read years and years ago that Paul McCartney had to agree on each Yesterday cover But there were already 1600 covers of Yesterday by 1986 (!) so is it really physically possible to listen to and check all the songs before release? And when there are two writers, or more, if one of the writers disagree to the cover, then the song can't be released? If McCartney had a word to say, would he have permitted MJ to cover Come Together? This is a Lennon song, but officially credited to McCartney too. Maybe MJ chose a Lennon song to cover because it was more easy to get the right to release it. It s true that in tv advertisings for instance, some covers are used, without the writer agreeing to it ( or is it just public relations BS?)

I've not heard that about PM but I have read that "Yesterday" is the most covered song of the modern rock era. I thought MJ owned the Beatles publishing hence his cover of "Come Together".

In my music business class at Berklee years ago, I learned that everytihng in the music business is negotiable and that's why there are so many contract nightmares where years later, so many artists and musicians regret signing away certain things.

No date is given but according to the 1991 RS article in took place sometime during Dec. 1990.

This Hot Press interview is the very first time she spoke to the media about the incident. Aside from the magazine mistakingly saying it took place at P MN home, this is very likely the most accurate version of the story.

I asked, because as Prince was almost always recording/touring potentially her story could be disproven if it transpired he was somewhere else making music, etc.
