And y should He, Thats y he has created the NPGMC cause he dont really want all ya'll to hear him unless u listen 2 what he has got 2 say. He is trying to shatter his legacy and it is his to shatter!!! all this latest development has done is driven the digital haze further away from him!

look man,now dont get me wrong here, if Prince wants out of the music business, all he has to do is simple,release a press statement saying "thank u all for a wonderful time of support for many years but,at this juncture i wish to retire from the music business and be happy in my current Journey.

now had that been the case. no one would be pissed off,and would have respected Prince more had he done it like that, but honestly?.no i dont think thats it, its all prince's usual smoke and mirrors manipulaion tactic, to not treat his fanbase like people but more like Lab experiments.

now you can be the lil pavlovient mouse through the maze if you want to?. but i seriously doubt, alot of people will follow you.


just my 2 cents

Cool!

Thats laughable.. "shatter" the illusion

Little guy is in a panic.. with NEWS not making enough to pay the huge overhead & an army of bodyguards to protect him from all the ppl he owes.

It cost a lot of dosh to run the shit he has..

Wife - you KNOW she is going to be getting THE BEST.
The Estate In Totronto
The Estate In Spain - given to Mayte, but he's be paying bills, no messin.
Mayte - payoff, sorry i mean amicable divorce. i don't even what to think how much that shit's gotta hurt. Think about it, if the general feeling is that P was involved with his current wife, during his marriage (sp) to Mayte... IF that's true, then Mayte would've been on for HALF of everything he owns...
Paisley Park - don't make NO revenue so it's got to be losing P about $1million a year to keep staffed, up to date, and maintained.
The band - keeping them on the payroll can't be cheap...

i don't think the recent royalty cheques from WB will have been to healthy - as they haven't been able to do ANYTHING to the back catalouge to re-enrgise the royalty revenue...

i aint saying he's broke by any means, but he if keeps spending more than he's making he will be, one day.

As far as I know the estate in Spain is up 4 sale or maybe already sold by now? I don't think Mayte wants 2 be half way round the world and with Prince's "symbol" planted, engraved and plastered all over that place.
Mayte - already paid off.
The band - taken off payroll some time back.
The only thing he's got 2 worry is keeping the water and lights running at Paisley Park 4 if he every wants 2 take a piss.
And his crib n Toronto 2 keep Mani at while he does "extracurricular activities".

"extramarital activities"

the brotha's got 2-ply toilet paper in the bathrooms at paisley, so he honestly can't be that broke.

U noticed the toilet paper too huh?? Nice, and the fake flowers in the bathroom and the wizardoutlet add a nice touch too.

Rolling Stone once wrote that Prince could retire off of his royalty income alone without ever making another record. I tend to believe that.
