Did I address you? Go back sucking your neoliberal tits’ whole milk. You couldn’t care less for art or artists. The kind of lobotomized who applaud because Prince is featured in a loooong commercial disguised as a series. A century of entertainment and consumption have rotten your brains so much you can’t even realise the extent of your contradictions when you pretend caring for Prince’s work. Pathetic yes-men who applaud the greatest shipwreck ever witnessed in handling a major artist’s legacy. Go on, lemme see you jump for joy at the latest Youtube outputs by the « estate ». Oh, goody, more Purple Rain bullshit! Luckily for mankind, some of us aren’t so easily amused.

Go get laid or something.

I choose "get laid".

I apologize for having you caught in the line of fire of my inflammatory rants.

I'm reading Duane Tudahls's Parade Sessions these days, I'm half fascinated and half furious, this is such a gigantic waste. For all his asshole attitude and behaviours, Prince's Work remains historical from any perspective. On a human level, his are gifts that keep and keep on giving.
I think we all know how much our spirits can sometimes be lifted to higher grounds with just a single rehearsal.

I can't stand the dichotomy between the cultural relevance and importance of Prince's most creative era, which reaches beyond fandom and is crucial to popular music history at large, and a beaten-to-death commercial placement, which probably happened by choice of the director of the show, certainly not because of McMillions.

These thieves in the temple are making me bang my head against the walls.
I mean, if at the very least they would steal something! Nah, they're just letting everything rot.
They shit a nonsensical AI reel ("Pop Life") and call it a day.

I truly feel rage against this scandalous waste. Time is passing and SKipper is kinda slipping into irrelevance, or worse, is getting petrified into a one-hit wonder in the public consciousness, and it makes me sick.

I would love to make my peace with it, but the emotions and the experiences stay very much alive within me, I'm mad because the mishandling of the situation stands in the way of a proper passing of the torch to the new generation, and Lawd knows how much the kids spirits would benefit from being exposed to truly exciting music, at a time when pop is falling day after day into an abyssal shithole (Sora and the such).

You know me by now, I'm the passionate one, and it makes me difficult to mince words or to avoid grabbing a flamethrower and set the whole roof on fire.

Again, sorry about stray bullets.

Just don't call me Nancy.
Or Shirley.

Do you really find this to be the case, though? His official discography is (mostly) available. It's there for anyone to discover. If someone's curious enough about music, they can discover Prince at any time. He won't be forgotten any time soon. Of course, as fans of his work, we'd prefer his music to be way more present "everywhere" (but what does that even mean nowadays?), discussed, etc.

Man over the last few decades there wer e more than plenty fans (I would almost say the majority) who wanted Prince and his music to stay 'hidden' and his music not being used in any medium whatsoever, so as to not 'taint' it by it being 'everywhere". I guess those fans won now and are the happiest and Londell loves them.
