Was it the record company who was mad or record industry. If it was record company then my mistake.

Re: NPNY: Prince of LA
Yeah, I think we are all used to his nuttiness but this smacks of actual insanity and so I totally wonder what he could be thinking. Surely there had to be some logic and reason in this decision. >From the articles I've read it seems Universal UK AND the record stores are so pissed at him. Why the heck would Universal, let alone ANY record company take a chance on him next time? He has an uncanny ability to shoot himself in the foot, it seems. So many CDs will end up in the trash. Such a waste. At least when he gave cd's away during Musicology it was to people who liked him enough to buy a ticket to his concert. - Original Message - Original Message From: "Oliver, Damon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: npny@lists.panix.com Sent: Tuesday, July 3, 2007 12:49:45 PM Subject: NPNY: Prince of LA >From the New York Post - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Re: NPNY: Prince of LA
"when it's time to download your files into your fam's computers, you can't have any other contractual obligations." "I'm never leaving MPLS." "Prince is dead." I'm starting to see the pattern here. If he says anything that sounds final and permanent, expect him to change his mind and do just the opposite after a while.

Re: NPNY: Prince of LA
What do you mean, Derek? What is funny to me is that he's not making too many friends in Europe anyway, with the whole "free cd" debacle. Ah well. So much for the "i'm never leaving MPLS" sentiments of yesteryear, huh? I've long lamented the "what if" of Prince moving to Europe, tho these days I realize that's not any more out of reach financially than LA is, for the likes of me anyway. The truth is, he is so fickle I'd be surprised if he stuck to this supposed plan any more than he's stuck to some of his others. On another note, does anyone have ANY guesses as to his plan (or lack thereof) regarding the release of THREE songs from the upcoming album simultaneously or the whole free CD in the newspaper nonsense?

Re: NPNY: Prince of LA
Is he really going to live in Europe? or is this more speculation (Wishful thinking). Is this going to happen after he leaves minni after the 7th? what's the real lowdown?
