Can we stop being jealous of Prince influencers ?

Prince influencers? You're kidding, right? I've seen some pathetic souls out there thinking they are all that and then some. Is that who you are referring to?

It sounds way better than last year's. I just hope that they are more organized than last year. I laughed at the "Lake Minnetonka cruise" LOL

I've not been to a post-2016 Celebration, but the VIP ticket feels like there are more activities planned? Is that right?

Are you serious? That list is laughably bad. A cruise on lake Minnetonka? Watching Purple Rain (in "high defenition" no less!)? Nothing in that list justifies that price.

Exclusive Listening Session at Paisley Park (Unreleased Vault Material). More unreleased songs the rest of us will never get the chance to hear. They still haven't released last years celebration tracks. [Edited 3/19/24 9:48am]

Even for those who had the chance to hear it once...What's the point if they never get to hear those songs anymore ?? Even worse than the ones who have never heard anything.

Paisley Park is DEFINATELY NOT the "studio 54" it was aiming to be in the early 90s, and this silly-ass attempt to get some Prince fans to pay over 5.000 millions (sorry, Rod ) to travel from abroad to see some nastalgia and hear a few "unheard" songs that might or perhaps not get released is a real kick in the ass when we consider how little has been actually officially presented.

In what way was PP aiming to be like Studio 54?

I thought you had to be half naked and personally invited?

Sorry, my bad!

Wish they'd have people like, Janelle Monae, H.E.R., Lizzo, Carmen, Sheena, Rosie, Lenny, Andy, Tamryn, Eryn Kane, Tamar instead of the same ole, same ole.

Put something out there that's new and refreshing instead of the same ole reruns.

How about getting some of the Ladies who benefited from the Girls Can Code grant?

Prince was much more than the Rev, and NPG

In all fairness Rosie was supposed to be there last year so they could present her with their Legacy award but she was unable to make it. Her daughter accepted in her place.

But yes yes yes to everyone else.

Who here remembers the report on last year's celebration of L. Londell McMillan using his cell phone, although not for taking photos, which is in direct contravention of the rules?

Yeah I was there...he was being annoying with it coming in and out of the aisles taking MULTIPLE videos and photos from multiple angles. Even when the audience is fully sitting down and quiet listening to the talks you see him walking up and down the aisles and disrupting the panel ambience. They couldn't afford a SM person?

I would love to go and listen to unreleased music... but I could not bear to attend a Celebration event. I imagine that being around so many know-it-all Prince fans at one time would be nearly intolerable.
