This makes perfect sense.
It seems like it would only expand the generational divide. Like "oh gramps going on about how HIS pop culture was better again..." New fans don't like that. I would argue in general it turns people off when you hit them fresh out the gate about what a masterpiece 40-year-old piece of art is, because it alienates them by confronting their own limited pallette. | |

Nah, it makes younger fans recoil, he's right.
You offered zero counterpoint other than just restating your original argument, btw. | |

I watch the comments for YouTube reactors, when the thirsty Princehive starts lighting them up after they sorta dig "Purple Rain" or "Little Red Corvette" with all the "genius"this and "27 instruments" that and "greatest album of all time" blah blah blah you can tell they tune out and decide to never react to another Prince video again so they aren't harassed by his stanclub anymore. | |

Maybe MakingMillions & Spicer & co are doing a Beyoncé thing, no any announcment(s) just 'BANG' here it is an instant 'NOW' release on the spot. - It's my last hope.

Jon Bream's Star Tribune review: TRUE BLUE | |
Reply w/quote - E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
I went GA this year, as I didn't feel the difference in price was worth it and the difference alone paid for my hotel.
I stayed at The Chambers Hotel, which was without a doubt the best position. Accross the road to the State Theatre, 2 blocks from First Avenue, 1 Block from the Shuttle and 1 block from the Street Party. The hotel served as the GA and VIP lounge accross Fri and Sat. The Hotel had cool graphics up, and there was a 'prop' room set up by the estate for photos (eg WDC bath reconstruction, giant PR photo backdrop). It was all a bit cheap. The screening of Purple Rain was great quality sound and vision. The Purple Rain Tour concert footage was excellent. Better than Syracuse. The GA seating at State Theatre was excellent. VIP got the front stalls, so I simply went front row Circle. Liv at PP was fun. Sunday at Bunkers was the best. The NPG were a bit 'Caberet'. Didn't include Bland and Barbarella, who were at the Dakota the same night. The NPG was a bit flat, as the venue was only a little over half full. Clearly didn't sell many day tickets. Morris clearly would have preferred to have been there with his own band. GA and VIP - Queues, queues, queues. Bad event time management throughout the weekend. Lounge options were poor. VIPs got screwed over on the PP tour due to poor management timing. Too much Londell/Spicer self praise, lording it up. The Outdoor 'music festival' at PP was very poor. Stop cutting concert footage short! Why!?!?! . | |

Fans need to start voting with their wallets and stop attending these events until something changes. Londell and Spicer have shown time and time again that they don't give a shit about any feedback or constructive criticism, no matter how politely worded it may be. Just look at Londell's response to Jon Bream's completely fair article on the highlights and flaws of the weekend - he couldn't even take take graciously and learn something from it. | |

How visible and vocal were they?
By Jon Bream about years celebration: Invisible Obamas. Barack and Michelle Obama sent a letter of condolence to Paisley Park and Prince's family after his death. However, their signatures from May 2016 on White House stationery (on display in Paisley's atrium) have already faded to the point of near invisibility. What kind of preservation is going on at Paisley Park? [Edited 6/27/24 20:53pm] | |

JFC Londell is such a pathetic excuse for a human. Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |

Reply w/quote - E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
. So the same complaint as last year, which they solved by... selling more tickets and boasting about that. | |

Thank you, but who's to say it is from McMillan. | |

It's Londell-level cuntiness. Yeah. This guy is simply the worst nightmare we could have had. Worst of the worst. Prince passed away twice. First on April 21 and the second time when this crook was hired by an old senile to handle the Estate. [Edited 6/30/24 1:45am] | |
