Noticed any subtle prince tributes today?

Lewis Hamilton arrived at the Monaco grand prix wearing a purple cape and wore a purple race helmet..

Ken Jennings wore a purple paisley tie on Friday's jeopardy (he always wears a purple paisley tie on Prince's significant dates).

A splash of purple, a paisley pattern, or a musical reference can resonate strongly with fans while remaining understated to everyone else. Whether these examples were deliberate tributes or not, they certainly sparked the kind of conversation that keeps Prince’s cultural influence alive years after his passing.

The estate did shit for his 10 year's passing.

They missed again on doing some extra world wide promotion to keep his legacy alive, like music in magazines, talk about it, on social media, release something special, a one off thing, etc.

Nope. Too difficult.

Instead, they just concentrated on the rediculous Celebration, of which we all know is being questioned openly now in the press, more than Prince's 10 year's passing. For what it's worth.

How is it being questioned openly in the press?

Imagine the publicity a Piano and Microphone 2016 release would get. Another missed opportunity.

in one of his/her messages he/she replied to a message and installed a bot commercial, or maybe he/she is one. So don't bother.
