i tried to stay silent but i just can't. some of you people kill me. how dare you try and tell prince what he should do with his time. how he should contribute to a certain cause and then on top of that, insinuate that it's because of his religion that he didn't show(not all of you did this). prince is a grown man and he can do what ever he pleases, and however he pleases. to say you would have liked him to be there is one thing, but to judge him because he wasn't is out of line. why didn't all of you attend. and for those who did why didn't you donate even more time and money on top of that? no need to answer because frankly, it's none of my bussiness. period.


Blah blah blah...you're just mad cuz you know we're right!

Yes he can do whatever he wants but this was a momentous occassion, not some run of the mill concert. And for a good cause nonetheless. And especially since he has had strained relationships with some of these members. If he's a devoted follower to god, how much better to show it by mending broken fences?


I'm speculating on the religious part but it's likely it had some influence, look at all the dumb things he's done in the past. This will go down as one of the dumbest things he's ever done...

I wonder if the $$$'s he gave made up for the $$$'s lost on 4,000 empty seats that could have been filled easily had he been there.

That's not Prince's problem...no one guaranteed he'd show up, and if Prince's appearance was a sticking point for Sheila, she and Lyn should've cancelled it when he didn't confirm he definitely would attend...

Instead of looking at it as an ego thing, I'd prefer to view Prince's non-appearance as just about the smartest decision made that night.

Look at it this way:

As incredible as I'm sure the concert was, and as good an idea as this 'Family Reunion' (of sorts) was, it was an event that was predominantly about drawing attention to (and providing funds for) programs benefiting abused children. The moment Prince walks out on that stage the event becomes about him and not about child abuse. Perhaps that's why he chose to donate funds to Sheila's charity rather than perform.

Prince is probably the only millionaire among those who were invited to participate in the Family Jamm event. Rather than show up and turn attention away from the cause itself, this particular "millionaire" made his behind-the-scenes donation, while the "non-millionaires" chose to offer what they were able to.

Now matter how much this may have disappointed some of you who attended, it does make sense.

-SWANGdidn'tthinky'allheardme


I'm sorry, but I think you are wrong on this one. Did you happen to read my earlier post? Anyway, like I said earlier, this event was extremely important to Sheila E. I think we all know that. If Sheila felt in the slightest Prince's presence would have taken away from the message of the night, I'm sure she would not have invited him. That foundation is too important to her for that. But she DID invite him, and he did not show ALTHOUGH HE WAS IN THE VICINITY!!! Think about it.

Prince was wrong.
I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin.

I just re-read your post, and I happen to disagree. I don't think you're wrong, and I don't I think I'm wrong either. We just feel differently about it.

As I said earlier, if Prince's appearance was the "be all-end all" with regards to this event, Shelia would've cancelled it when he didn't confirm. That didn't happen because the success of the event was not contingent on Prince's appearance or non-appearance or anyone else's for that matter (Atlanta Bliss? Levi Seacer? Andre? Dez?). The success of the event was contingent on how much the charity benefited through public exposure as well as ticket sales. Apparently, the charity is growing, thanks, in part, to the monies that Prince-as corporate-has contributed. He simply chose to limit his public involvement with it. That's the beautiful thing about charity: it begins at home, not at an ampitheater...


As to the event being important to Sheila, I'd like to think it was important to her (and hopefully everyone who attended) predominantly because of who would benefit from its success, not because of who showed up and who didn't. Prince wasn't there, but the kids still benefited from it...you go, Sheila!!! I'm sure that's what Prince said...

Thanks for caring enough to respond, Velvet! Your posts make a bro' think!!! smile

Yup. And it's my perogative to point out what an ass he is for missing out on an incredible opportunity.

Hi Supey.

Let's not 4get y'all that this was about abused kids tho - Prince or no Prince, that wont change the reality of the situation that is under all our noses everyday.

Sheila and all who pulled 2gether 2 make it happen should feel justifiably proud 4 makin it happen. Kudos 2 them.

However, now I know Prince WAS in L.A...YES, he SHOULD be ashamed of not participating in that respect.

I understand what you are saying but with all due respect, we will just have to disagree. If Prince would have made an appearance, I don't believe the message would have been lost. Prince would have added another element to it all, of course because beyond the charity, when you break it all down, those people would not have gotten together if if weren't for him. Of course he would have gotten attention. But I just don't believe his presence would have been focused on so much to the point of where it would have "hurt" anything. Prince could have sat his booty in a seat, enjoyed the show and came out on the last song, and stand on stage with everyone and not said a word. Because it would have been the "right" thing to do.

Whether the show was a success or not is not the issue at all to me. I never questioned that. Her charity has more money now than it did before that concert, so it was a success in my eyes. My intent was not to allude to the event not being a success because Prince didn't show up.I say it was indeed a success.

Also, we all know it was his choice. He is a grown man in a Free country and he obviously can do what he wants with his time and money. That's in Stone and not even a question. He made his choice, and I just find it to be a shameful one.

For me, I suppose I see it as a decency issue more than anything, because HE WAS IN THE VICINITY. If he was on tour in Japan or something like that, I think I would be willing to accept it (although for this special occasion I still think he should have flown in). But to know he was right there and didn't come, is a shame. Not that the whole event was based upon his apprearance, because it wasn't (and we can tell that's true by the overwhelmingly great reviews that have been posted so far). But because of the Foundation, because of Sheila, because of the people on that stage with whom he shared such an important part of his life with, because of his fans, because HE WAS CLOSE BY!!!, because it would have been decent, is why he should have made an appearance.

CO-SIGN 1000% agian on everything you said.

My stance has nothing to do with whether or not Prince's appearance would have made for a better concert, better turn out, or higher contributions. The concert without Prince's appearance stands on it's own merit.

The issue I'm bringing up is very much along the lines of what Velvet stated above. Sheila went to great lengths to bring people together for this event. Out of all the artists who attended, we can guess which ones Prince has had a falling out with. Leave the charity aspect aside. Prince talks about unity and love and claims to be a follower of God. Ever heard of walking the talk? That's the problem I have with his absence. He could have taken this opportunity to put to rest any and all past grievances with former associates.

It doesn't affect my personal life one ounce that Prince didn't take this opportunity at reconciliation. I am making the point for the former associates and for Prince himself. Both sides could have benefitted on a personal level, both sides could have had fun, both sides could have come together to make the event as a fundraiser a bigger success to help the children. Instead, one side reached out, while the other ignored them. That is what sucks.

I really don't blame him for not showing, I mean would you want to be on a stage with Jill, whose part you cut dramaticly in favor of ingrid and kept to the side for about 9 years, or Susannah, who you told you loved; proposed to; then cheated on; or Carmen, who you cheated on with Mayte, or Paul; who you called a punk, or Apollonia; who you basicly told off when she wanted to leave your camp, or...well you get the picture.

I told this to Wendy, and she nodded her head while laughing, I'm not sure if she was seriously agreeing or not, but it IS something to think about...nod

Seriously though, the man did contribute financially to this event.
Besides, by doing this he's probably lost some respect from some fans and has proven that the Revolution can hold their own without him, it all goes back to him, let the chips fall where they may.
Let him do what he wants, every negative, not-so-great, and disapointing thing he does ultimately goes back to him, y'all should know that by now.


And supa, worship

Let's face it,guys...Prince is the ultimate control freak (he said so himself).He doesn't really participate in things that he can't control.This show was Sheila's big project,and I don't think Prince would have felt comfortable being a part of it.


I'm disappointed but not surprised that he didn't show up.

I really don't blame him for not showing, I mean would you want to be on a stage with Jill, whose part you cut dramaticly in favor of ingrid and kept to the side for about 9 years, or Susannah, who you told you loved; proposed to; then cheated on; or Carmen, who you cheated on with Mayte, or Paul; who you called a punk, or Apollonia; who you basicly told off when she wanted to leave your camp, or...well you get the picture.

I told this to Wendy, and she nodded her head while laughing, I'm not sure if she was seriously agreeing or not, but it IS something to think about...nod

Seriously though, the man did contribute financially to this event.
Besides, by doing this he's probably lost some respect from some fans and has proven that the Revolution can hold their own without him, it all goes back to him, let the chips fall where they may.
Let him do what he wants, every negative, not-so-great, and disapointing thing he does ultimately goes back to him, y'all should know that by now.


And supa, worship

Well said. Not much more to add.
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

All this religious mumbo jumbo about unity and love and yet he won't seize the opportunity to unite with the people that helped make his life what it was.


1.Prince is a hypocrite at times,thats not news to anyone surely
2.Prince has deep pockets for worthy causes , thats what I'll remember from this whole affair,regardless of the many character defects he has,he stuck his hands in his pockets and gave the most important thing for Sheila's cause,a big heap of money.

I doubt if Sheila's mad at him in the slightest,and its her cause and her opinion which counts most at the end of the day.
