This fandom is dead. It has been over a year since the last SDE. The estate has given us zero new music, zero plans for new music, and zero meaningful communication with the fans whatsoever. Londell and Charles have stubbornly refused to listen to any criticism or feedback, no matter how politely given. All they care about is shilling Prince's name and image for quick and easy cash, his musical legacy be damned. |

On the other hand, the music is still there. You can listen to it whenever you want. Hundreds and hundreds of hours of excellent music, recorded between 1977 and 2016. It's quite crazy, when you think about it. |

It's obvious by now that Londell and Spicer don't care about us and Prince's legacy. U are now an official member of the New Power Generation

I m sure there was good money to be made from this unreleased material, but these days are long gone. Thé Last Prince concerts released on CD would have been a million seller if released in 2016. W2America sold pretty well considering there was zilch promotion. But they could have done so much more with that project : music videos, a tour with all thé musiciens and chorists involved...That would have been so fucking great considering they are doing a musical right now. Originals could have gained so much hype if they didn't released the Nothing Compares 2U demo the year before... The SDE could have attracted more casual listeners, had they gone chronologically ( beginning with For You, with a Doc about the early years). Going forward, then backwards, then forward... fucking nonsense. Nobody cared. |

The Netflix documentary would bring Prince back into the public consciousness and I would certainly like to see it as it is. Surely there must be some way to edit it to assuage some of the concerns that the estate has , I would certainly watch it if it was nothing but performance footage. It was imagined as a biography and I am uncertain that concept could ever be realised with so little or no input from Prince (unavoidable). As it stands it is what everyone else glimpsed combined and can only be viewed though that lens. The fandom is a strange beast and would be very difficult to come up with material that would energise and intrigue lifers like me and still tickle the interest of the "really loved purple rain, never dived deeper crowd" [Edited 11/18/24 19:12pm] |

On a small point, we got new versions of the Musicology b-sides this year. |
