no talkshows

I believe it's been posted before, but do you think Prince should stop talking and appear in talkshows and other media?? I think he should. Like sports: don't talk about it, just do it. The enigma sure did the trick back in the days.

it's a different world today. he's got to get out there and remind people he's still around. if he does that, and captures them again with a solid piece of work, THEN he can lay off the talk shows.

not really--first and foremost, p should represent himself. you don't leave stuff like that to whatever fans you have--sure, you can say that p is a great musician and whatever, but when it comes to representation overall, it's all on him.

co-sign. not our responsibility. while I do plug Prince among people I know (I even included a trivia question about him in the Newsletter that I write for work that goes out to all past clients!), our efforts are much less effective that a great showing at the Grammys. Or on Leno. Or on Ellen. Can't carry his career on my back! I'm glad to see him playing the game again.

i agree, but not by talking about it...let alone talking about politics or whatever Tavis S. tried to with Prince. It just makes people focuss on other things than the work that this man does: making music.

i think it adds a dimension that the general public doesn't know exists. and given how much he has changed since he was in the spotlight, it's good for them to know that though he may be called Prince once again, he ain't the same.
