Can you include Prince, please?

You're asking me that after all the rude posts you've made towards me?

What rude posts?

I can't remember since there have been so many from so many different people. I just thought you were one of them.

Anyways, if I ever receive Prince's #'s, I will post them.

Thanks.

Uh oh I see MJ's sales are dropping - particularly on the DVDs.
I think this indicates people will still buy to his cds
but they don't want to look at him.
That could be a bad sign since when he goes on trial
the jury will have to look at him on a daily basis.

I hate to start a new MJ thread so I thought I'd just put this here:

Its the latest on the leaks in the MJ case.
All I can say is YIKES!
