just a few thoughts... Why does this come as a surprise to everyone? He's been this way since day one. We'll never get a repeat performance out of Prince. He's on top of the world one year and then he makes himself disappear from the mainstream public. He loves to explore music and change(all the time) and unfortunately, it often becomes a detriment to his art (and music sales).
As far as the whole Tamar thing? However talented she may be, she's just going to go down in the books as just another failed Prince protege. Sorry Tamar lovers! Imo, 3121 was not a great album, perhaps Prince realized it too? -Maya <Moderator: 3121 has its moments, but as a whole its not a great album. I can sight at 3 or 4 songs I really like. The title track not being one of them I might add :-P -Derek> ----- Original Message ---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 1:47:06 PM Subject: Re: NPNY: For the Prince historians... Okay everyone, yeah looks like he's having a nervous breakdown, I think that with 2 failed marriages, and his business being shakey he's finally realizing all the money he's invested into projects that didn't pay off his well as he thought they would. Think back, Mayte's "Child of the Sun, we all know he lost money on Larry Graham's cd. I don't know how many of the cd singles he did with Angie Stone sold, does anyone have a clue. He bought that Beautiful place in Marbella for Mayte', how much did he re-coup from the sale of that. He Built the house in Canada for Mani, I know that cost a pretty penny. He did finance her business...so if and when the divorce goes through it's hers free and clear. He's always improving on Paisley Park, so as far as the land around there goes, that's a wait and see. The man may finally be looking at his books. Like an accountant, More money going out than coming in. That's my take on what's happening. <Moderator: If he was worried about money I don't think he would be flubbing a record deal. I swear I sometimes think he is trying to get himself black listed in the Record Industry. -Derek> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
