Prince Joins The Corporate World

The reason the Musicology Tour opener is on March 29th in Los Angeles
and not in another city like Minneapolis, for example. Or even on a Friday or Saturday.

Scheduling. There is a Lakers basketball game on Friday March 26th against Minnesota and a Clippers basketball game on Saturday March 27th. Both dates against Minnesota actually. Another Lakers game on Sunday March 28th and on Tuesday March 30th. On Wednesday March 31th, there is an LA Kings hockey game. So Prince got squeezed into the middle. It couldn't be held at another venue or on a weekend because the concert promoter AEG LIVE owns The Staples Center and they definitely wanted the show there. It's actually AEG LIVE's Flagship venue. That's why it is the tour opener. It's publicity for the concert promoter and their venue. The Staples Center.

Who needed to know all that?

Why not?
