He needs a manager

fear

Money : Fear of having to cut another bodyguard.

Music : Inability to control the music. Fear that unless he locks it up in his vault, he knows whatever note he sings is going to be downloaded on the net for free.

and whats so freaky?, we've been around for more than long enough to know the deal. At the end of the day all he asked for was a little help [yes i know it was at our cost] but the feedback that headed back his way was scary. If that didn't hurt him then nothing will, if i was in his shoes i'd start looking for a new fan base NOW. I am no stranger to complaining about his operation and still think his marketing is awful but this seemed to cross the line. At the end of the day he made a request and not a demand.

He should have been smart enough not to send out such an e-mail. He should have known he would get that kind of response.

How about pre-partum jitters? (isn't his wife pregnant?)

With his experience, I'd be shitting myself til everything was proven to be OK.

Like that's even a possibility. We're all he's got. He might pick up the occasional straggler here and there, but that's it.

Aren't Mani and Larry his managers?

But this shit won't make him any money. instead he has lost even more fans and therefore even more money. unless of course he will triple the price of his cd's for the remaining prince geeks.


He better accept that or he'll end up in a nuthouse. But i wouldn't be surprised if all the stuff he may, or may not, send out in the future will be protected by copy control technologies, restricting and monitoring the fans every move with "his" music.

That the explanation of "the cause"doesn't 4explain shit. instead it makes it all too clear that it has nothing to do with WB or Brazilian "bootleg"DVD's WB is supposedly involved in. What it is about is that prince doesn't want his fans to listen to the best extended versions of I would die 4 U, little red corvette, Erotic City and kiss and turn in all their bootlegs while they are at it. All that stuff people paid money for and prince with all his millions is whing about cd's that werre distributed more than a decade ago. if you take that as a serious and truthfull explanation you must be just as freaky as prince.



What "deal"??? prince needs to act like a fucking NORMAL human being and understand that you can't change deals after you signed them only because then he realised he fucked up.


It won't help him S.H.I.T.
It will give him a reason tho'to do as Larry says: forgte about your past prince, that is not you anymore. that was the old prince influenced by the Devil and so are your last remaining fans. prince you should "follow God"... Goddamn.


He made a bullshit request with NO explanation that makes any sense and he wants fans to send him his best material and bootlegs without any compensation whatsoever. And you believe he will file a lawsuit against WB? if he could, he would have done that a long time ago, but he was too chicken because he got STINKING rich because of their 100 million dollar deal.

I agree,... obviously prince is:
1) "free"
2) "wild"

but

3) NOT "smart"


he loses.

theblueangel said:

he might just go and 'follow God', or beter yet: Larry graham and his shit.

huggy said:

I don't think he lost any "paying" customers.. but he did get some free advertising on MTV out of this legally pointless tactic. Second sentence in the news report mentioned the album release. Way to go Prince! Freaky

As far as restricting sharing/copying technology.. not gonna happen in Princes lifetime unless some new form of hi-tech media to release content comes out.

- Jehova Witness brainwashing
- bitterness about his past and his inability to stand for his own mistakes
- his asskissing and uncompetent "entourage" ( not sure if it's an English word )

I've noticed a big change after the death of his and Mayte's baby... and especially with the way the so-called "fans" reacted on it together with the press.

I think from that moment on, the guy went mad, freaky and now scary.

I really hope he'll get back to his true slef again.

Another reason I can think of would be his so-called "fans" who are never satisfied with what he does... always bitching and nagging... so the guy is like... eeh, okay, let's try this... Mmmm no still nagging, maybe this... nope still the same...

after a while he got frustrated... and thus "freaky bastard mode on"

Just a thought

I agree that these could very well be 3 of the causes of Prince's behaviour.
