Prince wanted kids to see his concerts. I took my son to the Musicology tour when he was 6. I took him to the 20th anniversary at Paisley and we got to watch the whole concert again. That concert 20 years ago gave him an appreciation of music that most of his generation has lost.

Casual Prince fans didn’t buy Prince music when he was alive. The Estate needs to stop catering to those folks and give us real fans The Second Coming, Black is the New Black, Love Thy Will Be Done (Gatsby version), Piano & Mic box set, Celebration 2002 box set, etc.

I think the Prince Estate is going to attempt to honor and preserve his black genius and his place in black history going forward. This will be problematic for the people that want 1984 Prince to be his legacy rather than the person that he evolved to become.

We now see why Prince didn’t mess with many of his early bandmates. Many are bitter, entitled and full of thinly veiled backhanded compliments. I can’t mess with the “fans” who give these folks a platform.

I'm not trying to Purple Rain on anyone's Parade, but seeing a bunch of 65 year olds in concert without Prince is not exciting to me. It is actually a turn off. It would be far more exciting to see unreleased concerts of Prince and the Revolution from 83-86 instead.

@Housequake Apples is plugging that book though. Sheila had multiple albums with him, in one of his greatest bands, performed with him in every decade since the 80’s and is a respected artist in the industry. She was more than a prop. So what that Prince liked her boxed lemon cake? Petty.

They typically don’t do this to white artists. They only do this to black geniuses because black trauma porn sells and it makes people feel better about themselves and their sense of superiority. It is systemic and our own are often involved in the process to legitimize it.

Why is Londell the face of the Estate? Prince fans are not going to support someone they perceive to be thief in the temple. The Estate is losing money because of this. Poor attendance at 4/21 at Paisley and Celebration ticket sales are evidence of this. Find another ambassador.

A lot of people are wondering what Prince would be doing during this crisis. Would he be hosting an online concert, a DJ set, release an album, etc.? Nope. We know exactly what he would be doing. He would be anonymously assisting those impacting by COVID-19 and others in need.

These same people only like Prince because he went commercial in 1984 and have no idea of what funk is. Exodus is funkier than anything he did in the 80’s. There was nothing commercial about Rainbow Children but they hated that because he talked about being black.
