Granted the Xenophobia shows were last minute and poorly promoted, but after days on sale, you could still get GREAT seats to the Orpheum shows (which were eventually canceled)

I wouldn't say this city HATES him, but I don't think it's one of his strongest fanbases anymore.

I think part of the problem is us ungrateful fans. wink

After standing in the 40 below weather for 5 hours one too many nites only to be let into Paisley to see the Larry Graham revue, people jumped ship. Many of the people I saw down at Paisley in the earlier years got sadly burnt-out and laugh at me when I see them and admit I haven't given up yet.

On the plus side, though...Chris shows P a lot of love in the Strib. He always calls attention to the latest release and gives him generally good write-ups.


whatevs, it don't matter to me cos I AM EXCITED FOR THIS SUNDAY! WAHOOOOO!

right on....and i'm lookin forward to sunday, too! yay! i gotta buy 2 extra copies for a couple of orgers, so i can send 'em the prince insert....biggrin i feel like the org's papergirl. and before anyone else asks me, no i'm not gonna be spendin money on tons of copies of the strib so i can send you a copy of the insert! lol



Will you pick me up a copy? evillol

HELLO!!!??? MPLS doesn't not hate PRince. Minnesotan's are just pretty quiet about him. He can drive around this town without getting mobbed. People stare at him when he comes through the airport but no one hunts him down. If you don't believe that his hometwon doesn't love him just check out his attendance numbers anytime he brings a tour to town. White bread MN doesn't hate Prince they just don't shower him with adoration. Downtown and Uptown MPLS, though, he is a God-especially to the local music scene.



ahh, correction. The last two times Prince was HERE in MPLS he only SOLD OUT the first day of each tour. Lovesexy and Rainbow Children. He only sold out the first day of BOTH two day shows.

fact.

MPLS no longer cares about Prince. You know how many people in this town (5 minutes from Paisley) ask if he's still around? Everyone who finds out I'm a big Prince fan asks me this. And this is in Chanhassen and Chaska! "Is Prince still in town?" - "Is anyone in Pailsey Park anymore?"

Man, Prince is invisible in this town alright....like a ghost.

But why would buying extra copies of a newspaper be so hard to do? It's not like anyone is asking you to burn them a CD or record a show....All you'd have to do is go to store in your area, buy 10 newspapers, then tell orgers to send you $5 and you'll mail them the Prince insert. What's so hard about that?

It's cool that his home town is honouring him like that. nod



It's about time. This town doesn't respect him. Minnesotans don't give two shits that HE put this state on the map. Period.



YEAH!!! Screw all those famous people before him that we may or may not been fans of but also put our state on the map:
Bob Dylan
Judy Garland
Charles Schultz
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Garrison Keillor
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sinclair Lewis
Charles Lindbergh (Though born in MI, raised in MN)

For someone I'm friends with, it wouldn't be hard to do, and I am doing it (well, minus the request for money)...we were both just giggling bout how silly we'll look bumbling into some newsstand to buy stacks of the paper...

Hey! What about the ORG? It sounds like there will be tons of news on Prince, but the news section is only updated once or tiwice a week. And RollingStone.com has no less than three articles on the man this week, for instance.

Surely, if the Star Tribune can devote ten pages, the Org can be a better news source than it's been for a while, right?

no no no! don't you talk 'bout my org! hmph!
