OPEN Letter 2 Madonna - WOULD ONE OF YOU FAMS

Would one of you fams please post the 'Open Letter 2 Madonna' email that NPGMC sent to all of us many moons ago, where Prince begs Madonna to help him in his plight against the evil empire?

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Open Letter 2 Madonna
from The Artist:

Madonna: artist 2 artist, eye am sure u understand the connection eye feel 2
my music. U more than any1 at Time Warner knows the patience and care with
which we give birth 2 creation... and u maybe moreso than any1 knows how
much a new artist longs 2 find a place amongst "the chosen few" 2 flaunt
those creations (and at the same time put food on one's table). Music
lawyers, managers and execs make deals best suited 4 their futures as well
as urs in most cases... OWNERSHIP OF MASTER RECORDINGS IS ALMOST NEVER AN
ISSUE! (let's remember, it was 1978!)

Eye dreamt of u and eye at the Grammy Awards and felt a need 2 write this
letter 2 u. In my dream, eye approached u and asked u if u remembered me,
and u said "sure"... u were on ur way up 2 receive 1 of numerous awards u
will no doubt receive that night, and eye asked u 2 help me with my fight 2
retain ownership of my legacy and u said, "eye don't own ur masters, Time
Warner does... if it was my company, u could have them."

"But eye say 2 u, dear sister, it IS ur company as long as u remain in their
graces... 4 all Artists, Madonna, make a stand 4 what is RIGHT... surely
they will listen 2 u!" In the dream u seemed 2 feel me and yet u were a bit
non-committal... so as u approached the podium, eye followed u, and as we
stood side by side, eye said, "b glad this a commercial break!" and eye
walked offstage and looked 4 Wyclef. Interpretaions aside, artist 2 artist,
"U Can Help Us... and eye know u will becuz u REMEMBER ME."

It reads like an entry from Frodo's diary. Or like it should be delivered on a bejeweled pillow by chariot.

Prince is funny even when he's not trying to be. lol
