Question: The sporadic touring as a back up band member for a protege whose record may never be released. Are you talking about Kip's CD?
Robin aka CherryMoon <Moderator: Tamra, Universal indefinitley postponed/canclled her album release. BTW you can pick Up Ultimate Prince and the Diamonds and Pearls DVD. I don't have any money so if anyone feels generious I will make you copy of my special 3121 DVD I have been compiling :-D -Derek> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of NuPwrSoul Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 11:01 AM To: npny@lists.panix.com; thebumpsquad@yahoogroups.com Subject: NPNY: For the Prince historians... I'm just curious what longtimers (and newcomers with a good knowledge of P history) think about the current state of affairs in all things Paisley? The over 1 year build up of promotions for an album (3121) that debuts at Number 1, right after which Prince drops all promotional efforts for the most part. The sporadic touring as a back up band member for a protege whose record may never be released. The weird last minute choices for tv appearances, expensive one-off or two-off Vegas concerts, limited access venues (with less than 100 tix avail), and then of course the site shutdown. All of this while the personal life is apparently in a tailspin too--both houses the Purple One and the one on Galpin bulldozed, setting up shop in Hollywood, celeb parties for people who go to say they were there rather than hear good music, and of course the divorce... And then the rumors: a tour in the fall? Greece in September. No tour in the fall. No tour of 3121. A tour in '07? Superbowl Halftime? Australia? Is there a precedent for this in Prince's history? I'm just trying, like most of you probably, to figure out what in the world is going on. I know dude is unpredictable but whoa! In the context of Prince history, where would you put this current situation? What would you call it? It's really really been strange--Musicology 2004 reflected some of his best planned, calculated, well executed promotional efforts in decades! And the results were just as stellar. Then two years later--it's sooo random, so last minute, and so seemingly unsuccessful. <Moderator: I call it "Insanity years" :-P. Last time I can recall things being crazy like this was when he first got on the net and started suing his fans and calling them "bootlegers" without looking at what actual content was on there sites. Its seems like every 2 years things get flipped upside down, shoke up and dismantled.. -Derek> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
