I have no cluse how to make it a hyperlink. Why would I be familiar with that process? Every other website I patronize was designed in the 21st century, so they audomatically recognize links and make them clickable. I checked the Org's FAQs, but there's nothing on this topic.

Don't worry: I myself can't remember how to insert an empty line.

You just have to put [ url] before the text and [ /url] after the text but do it without the spaces. Don't worry about not knowing, it's not often needed and you don't know what you don't know. It's just that some people have been told, more than once, acknowledged that information and just carried on anyway.

So without the brackets and url /url either end we get www.prince.org.

Then with the brackets we get www.prince.org

**Edit** and somehow my link without the brackets is clickable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Click-bait title that promises nothing. We only know, for sure, about Katy Perry and that red-haired Sheeran.

But he never HATED any of those people.

That Flaming Lips story is great.

In 2006 they were hardly an obscure act, maybe Prince already was familiar with them and just wasn't interested in having the discs? "A stack" of CDs? Dude was there to work...

Hate is a strong word.

But the animosity between Keith Richards and Prince sounds real.

Ed Sheeran and Katie Perry could just be that they were the pop artists being pushed at the time.

Maroon 5 and The Flaming Lips were too often form over substance. Perhaps the incident with Wayne Coyne was just Prince seeking to discourage people giving him their CDs.

This is also to check if Shift/Enter works.

And I too have these latter pair in my music collection - but no Ed or Kate.

There's gotta be 30-somethings out there referencing Katy Perry to their kids these days and getting puzzled looks. Talk about 15 minutes of fame, total blip on the radar as far as the grand trajectory of "art" is concerned in retrospect.

She sang like she was British, never really brought up wayy back in the day when she was happening. "Trai'aun tew coh'neckt tha dawts."

Well Ed and Katy are derivative cheese balls.

I had never even heard of Ed Sheeran until he was in the movie "Yesterday."

The moment I heard him, I wished I could go back to a time when I hadn't.

Oh and Danileigh who directed his music video, probably for the reason you stated.

same. It was like watching an old I Love Lucy when the audience would go nuts for a guest star that has no frame of reference for modern audiences. He was framed like big man on campus but it was like, "who's this generic ginger dude?"

Movie was just as terrible, too, wow, just next level bad. Beatle fanatics would give rave reviews to an animated series about Paul's gym socks. Sometimes you gotta pull back your fandom a bit. Just because the premise is nice and kinda cool doesn't mean it's the guaranteed unequivocal gold-standard of quality. They had them at the box art and title, has to be. This was hyped up like it was Citizen Kane meets Pulp Fiction.

Not only that but random music coming to you can later be part of a plagiarism claim.

P didn't see Adam Levine at his best; Adam was drunk and fawning. That shit didn't go down well.

Maybe Prince popped Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in the ole CD changer and his spidey sense went off when track 1 "Fight Test" is clearly the Flaming Lips doing a glorified cover of Cat Stevens' "Father & Son" verbatim.

"Yeah, give these back."

This is just clickbait. Totally ignorable!

PS I'm back (no-one missed me!), I was Dandroppedadime but I lost access to that because of an old e-mail account! To be honest this place ain't what it was since Prince passed and the Estate are lost in the re-release market, not giving us the goods as it were. Peace out.

Adam at his best or worst: Is there really that much difference? Musically I mean.

It seems that Keith Richards acknowledged Prince´s greatness in the 2000s. But I still dont know if it´s true that he made a compliment to Prince after his ´While my guitar gently weeps´solo at the RRHOF or if it´s an urban legend like Clapton´s "Ask Prince".

That´s the only reason I can imagine. Because I watched Rita Ora in Rock in Rio and it sucked...plastic pop with lip synch. Completely against the ´real music´ claim that Prince made so clear in the 2000s

Let's not forget Liza Hernandez and that song he wrote for her.

Pretty ladies made him lose all of his musical standards.
