Love4oneanother,
The NPG Music Club'

who here did send stuff? Are they bullshitting?

I'd be interested if someone would post here what they sent and why. Only I suspect the people that sent stuff don't visit the org anymore. They'll all over at NPGMC chat rooms. Busy masturbating themselves at the thought that Prince may touch the same CD they once held.

What about the big exodus from the org since the NPGMC opened up chat rooms? Pathetic isn't it?

COMON said:

This "org vs. NPGMC" vibe is what's pathetic, imo.

Anyway, there have been several posts here on the org by folks who've sent stuff in. It's been a while now, so good luck finding them.

COMON is not going to look. COMON cannot understand inference of NPGMC v Org.

But COMON think sad not so many people here now. Miss them!

Thank you for your thoughts.

"We will definitely keep U updated on progress with the case"

Might have been good if they were upfront in the first place

Yes, yes. Very embarrasing, whole episode very embarrasing.

Prince is strange n'est pas?

CAN YOU IMAGEINE IF someone were to send such an e-mail to HIM?! ha! (you know the very first request).

CAN YOU IMAGINE !

Dear Sir

We are collecting all the cat gut used to make the following guitrs with the number s 393993u4-ff and 05-23494 between the years 1001 and 3009. Please send them to:-

MY PLACE

SO THERE
OBEY NOW.

Thanks everyone! Really love ya!

Translation:

High,

We're very embarrassed about the whole matter, but in order avoid eating humble pie and admitting the whole idea was ridiculous, we're going to mail everyone and tell them what a resounding success it was, and conveniently put an end to all the silliness and criticism without making us look stupid.

Please don't make fun of us any more.

Peace

NPGMC

That about sums it up!

cynicalbastard said:

Dammit, at least try to live up to your Org username

Hell yeah I sent them some rarities.

There is no love lost for a corporation, Warner Bros. Records, that drugs their artists' to get them to comply.

And I think you forget that only a tiny, tiny percent of Prince fans have even heard of prince.org, let alone visit the site. So they missed out on all your hysterics about how Prince has lost his mind.

Ha Ha.

Romance1600 said:

i dont understand y the org is against the npgmc so much.

Anyway i think Prince may try 2 call a lawsuit on Warner Bros. 4 the infrigment of using his music 2 promote their fat wallets. i think it was a downright good thing.

tyme4truth said:

I don't know how you figure this. Any internet search on Prince turns up the Org among its first results. The Org is also mentioned in many of the articles published on Prince and his doings. I can't say exactly what percentage of Prince fans are familiar with prince.org, but it's definitely not tiny.

Ha Ha.

i love the emphasis on the 2nd "ha", man...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Why, thank you. If only you could be around in my real life to "get" everything with me!

paisleypark4 said:

...what, like prince don't wanna fatten his wallets either?? fleece you, fleece me, everybody gets broke...

Nah, that was purple Pixie Stix dust.





Hey, to each his own I suppose. I don't see anyone in hysterics here though...unless you're referring to your own past accusations about WB and Prince.

paisleypark4 said:

"the org"? I thought it was the NPGMC that was "the collective"

Seriously though, these releases are over a decade old - Prince was WITH WB when they were released - he got paid, he got paid well - and he agreed to all the terms and conditions of his contract(s).

Why didn't he object to these releases at the time?

I wonder if he's stopped getting the chequees on these type of releases now his contract(s) have expired, and that's why these *particular* official Prince releases are peeving him

Shame on anyone who sent their stuff.

well said mr. jewish proverb...well said. and well quoted Handclapsfingasnapz!

Well I really wanted to send something, but I didn't have any rarities to send.

So instead I'm sending Prince the shirt off my back, to show how much I care. Also, I'm sending him my good kidney (Who really needs TWO? It just seems selfish hoarding them for myself) in case he ever needs it.

Dig deep and give generously, dear friends.

I gotta say to y'all, I haven't been sleeping too well recently.

There was I lying in bed thinking about how I was gonna pay my credit card bill this month, since I got this shitty huge telephone bill last week, and I thought - how selfish I've been! I feel utterly ashamed.

Now instead of being preoccupied with my own insignificant problems, I am far more concerned with Prince's legal wranglings with his old record label. Which is as it should be... although it doesn't help my sleep... What can I say, I'm worried!

Y'all feeling me on this?
