Dude, is there anybody you can't say that about? Ha! I actually thought the same thing after I typed but figured I'd slip by. So, let's just say she accelerated the process.

It was only a matter of time.

Seems as if he is headed in the Michael Jackson "look at me I'm a clown" direction. I think the Mick Jagger "look at me I'm still rockin' " direction is more a apt of a clown comparison. Prince, as "eccentric" as he is never has been as ungrounded and maladjusted as Jackson. As long as he keeps making interesting records (which is no means a guarantee - Musicology was a bitch, the followup a yawner), he can do whatever he wants/needs to do live. Different animals (on both sides of the peerformer/audience equation) altogether. Besides, does anybody think that Tina Turner is too old to still be doing her schtick? when in vegas i will certainly look forward to seeing his show at the rio. Fair enough, we differ on our opinions of the guy. I guess we'll see if Prince still pulls it off like Turner and Mick when he passes the age of 60. I'll be first in line for tickets to the first of twenty fairwell tours right around the corner. Without a doubt Prince will be outdoing both Turner and Jagger easily when he turns 60. He is outdoing them both now . What was Jagger doing at 49 ? Not rocking as hard as Prince . also Prince has already done the trio guitar,bass, drum set up with the album The Undertaker. Which he wanted to release as a freebie to a guitar rag and which Warners prevented him . This was the start of the name change and trying to get out of his contract. Prince jams every night of the year....while guy's like the stones make an album, do a world tour then take off for 5 years to sit on their asses. i wouldn't call that being a musician. For christsakes Prince rented a house in LA and built a stage in the living room so he could put on concert's every night .....does Jagger do this ? NO. I saw the Stones in concert twice last year and they Stink ....( except for Charlie Watts) both Woods and Richards couldn't even remember how to start their own songs . Even Jagger would look back at them ..like what the hell ? Saw Prince 3 night's in a row for Musicology tour ...makes the Stones sound like a bad Holiday inn cover band . Prince had John Blackwell on drums , Maceo Parker ......tight as all hell! What the fuck, are you president of the fan club or what? Relax, just voicing my opinion of how I see things. And why the fuck would anyone build a stage in every room of a rented house? If true, it sounds like total stupidity, no wonder Jagger didn't do it. when in vegas i will certainly look forward to attending his rio show, if i can get a ticket. That's easy, just drop a grand at the blackjack tables and they will give you a pair. Or, you could buy one. From what I saw there is no shortage of tickets, even at the give away price of $125 for the man that refuses to schedule a perfomance time.

Too bad he never saw it that way.

Agree. While I've never been much of a Prince fan, dude has some talent and always has. Too bad that doesn't cut it for him or the young ones anymore. First an appearance on American Idol and now this. Depsite his popularity with some, he is no longer relevant in today's pop culture. Seems as if he is headed in the Michael Jackson "look at me I'm a clown" direction. The NFL doesn't need Lawrence Welk at half time, they just need to get a grip and cut back on all the over hyped bullshit.

Starving Artists show in Cleveland, 1977.

You got that right. Not a bad James Clay on here either.

Lambrusco frizzante! I'm grilling some lobster tails and artichokes.

w/tonic.

I took up the kazoo and was accepted/drafted by Princeton when I was 14 1/2. My momma didn't raise no dummy. edit for grammar

Don't worry, Chuck picked up the slack in your absence, so all is good. The thread about Brian Setzer having mad skills. The thread about how you always wanted to play professional squash but took up the tuba instead. C'mon you don't remember?

This guy had some career. I thank him most for "I Dream of Jeanie". Shallow, I know. -_- R.I.P.

Nah, just the construction worker.

Let that be a lesson to you.

Exactly.

And I never want to.

Grilled some pizza tonight, so still finishing the Peroni.

Was this an American Idol audition?

Very true, and the tune itself is quite catchy.
