17 Oct The Prince Of Prop?
Prince performs on Le Canal+, Paris. Oct. 14, 2009
I just got this in from a no-name reporter regarding’s Prince TV Appearance from earlier this week and wanted to share:
STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE: THE STOOL PRINCE WAS USIN ON THE LE GRAND JOURNAL WAS A PROP, NOT A CRUTCH. LOL THE SONG WAS CALLED DANCE 4 ME, NOT WATCH ME DANCE 4 U. HE WAS GONNA USE A LAZY BOY OR CHAISE LOUNGE BUT THERE WASN’T TIME OR SPACE.
AFTER VIEWING THE RUN THRU, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE STOOL LOOKED FLY SO IT WAS KEPT IT IN THE SHOW. BESIDES, ULTRABUSY LEAD SINGERS R ALL OVER TV THESE DAYS AND DUDE JUST WANTED 2 PLAY THE GUITAR AND LET THE AUDIENCE’S EYES FOCUS ON THE DANCERS WHO DID AN XCELLENT JOB DANCING 4 EVERYONE. LOL BTW…. DID ANYONE C THE LONG VERSION OF KISS FROM THE SATURDAY NIGHT GRAND PALAIS CONCERT AND CARE 2 COMMENT?”
Thanks for sharing. You know, I always thought if Prince made a video for “Dance 4 Me”, he should be sitting down watching people dance 4 him, where you just see his sunglasses or mouth or sometimes just his heel, so you know it’s him and you get to see glimpses of him but the people dancing for him don’t. Just my idea.
As for that long version of “Kiss”, ahem, anyone have video out there we could share? You know you gotta love the french “Kiss” so don’t front.-Dr.FB

Posted at 19:12h, 18 OctoberLike I said, he should do a video like the song says. With a sense of humor like the song says. I’ll be the old lady incognito! LOL
Speaking of God, I was brought up in a very strict church, and my faith is my greatest strength. I have many questions!

Gee God, between all your hard work and plotting the faiths of us mortals, you’ve got time to comment on me? I must be some kind of chosen one!
Hallelujah!
Anyhow, I only want to say that some people choose to be religious and some don’t and still we should all get along.
But the blasphemous (im)poster is right, I should stop commenting on this thread and I will.
Peace to you all and much peace of mind to Prince who shouldn’t worry what people think of him. Wether he’s performing while sitting on a stool or not.

Posted at 17:01h, 18 OctoberI KNEW when I saw the stool that some people were going to say that he was crippled! I was glad to see that he played without it later and pimped off the stage, too! 🙂 I have to say that I’m getting really bored with the concept that he NEEDS the stool, the cane, whatever to stand and walk. I guess it’s all opinion, though, and mine is that he’s fine, in fantastic shape for his age, and taking it easier than he did 20 years ago…as he should. We DO seem to all agree that he still is fine as hell and playing as well or better than ever!!

Posted at 15:57h, 18 OctoberPrince said he is happier than he has ever been and it shows! Smiles all around! Great performances in Paris. He has got it all! Music, beautiful girlfriend, love for God and he is lookin real good. If he is in pain…… its his business and everybody knows he always takes care of business. We love you Prince! Whatever your doing, keep doing it, you are shining bright!

Posted at 15:39h, 18 OctoberDear Kenni,
I’m not religious, but my agnostic/humanistic self does respect people who are. I suggest you do the same the other way around and I am sure God would want it, he would agree with me that intolerance is the root of all evil.

Posted at 14:12h, 18 OctoberDr.fb the comments that I’m about to make are not specfically directed to the “Prince prop” drama but the overall comments over the past several days. From the very first time I logged onto your website I got an “uplift”, good spirited, filled with truth and love….news brought to us about our favorite celebs. My heart was filled with joy. Today, when I read some of the comments that some folks make it becomes apparent how absent God is in their lives. Get to know God…knowing grows….and love simply expands to contain it…there will be no room for “negativity”….only L4OA. I wish that for everyone. We need God so badly.

Posted at 11:39h, 18 October“MAKES ME WANTA PICK UP MY ROCKER AND JUST SHAKE” – there4 he should of used a rocker as a prop, wearing his sunglasses, and having his cane by his side.
“OLD LADY JUST SHAKE” – he used young beautiful girls – mayb he should use a few old ladies – hmmm! (HA HA RIGHT?)
I LUVVVVVVV THIS SONG! THE CLIPS FROM PARIS WERE SO TIGHT, CRISP AS A CUCUMBER, AND FUNKEEEE! THANKS FOR LETTING THE WORLD C!

Posted at 05:22h, 18 OctoberI’ve been to both shows on sunday.
Both versions of kiss were brilliant !!!
I must confess I don’t remember it all, there were so many great songs !!!
Unfortunatly I was in the VIP section so I wasn’t with the freaks and couldn’t c Prince much.
I remember at the first show, Prince saying several times : “Good Night Paris”, as we weren’t hot enough ????
Doing a show during the day was strange, but beautiful.
If you have questions about the show, feel free to ask !
Cheers from Paris,
V.

Posted at 03:19h, 18 OctoberFirst, Prince – NO NEED FOR ALL CAPS, we hear you.
And yes, the prop with all the hip rumors, certainly adds to that with it being more than just Prince not being able to dance or move about anymore.
Which is fine, I mean, we all age, not expecting Hot Thing SOTT Movie like mojo to be in full swing anymore.
But, stop hiding behind the shades, sleep, rest the bags, take some vitamins to build them muscles man. Once you went veggie, you lost a lot of muscle mass and that mojo that electrified your performances.
Drop the guitar at least once, we get it, you can play it great, you love playing it. Bring back the Cloud as the Hohner is boring the heck out of us.
Take care of yourself though.

someone needs a new name!
looks like another unnamed site’s para-sites are trickling in over here. (Must be threatened by you DOC.
You’re loved Prince, no matter what you choose to do — we love you and your art!
Rock-on Baby.

Posted at 23:50h, 17 Octoberprince is fine….just listen to the music and enjoy…..nothing is beats a new song from prince other than a new version of an old prince song by prince and these are nice!!

Posted at 23:40h, 17 OctoberOh come on, anyone could see the set was a little tight–in order to get a close-up of Prince, Band members and a dancer or two, in the screen shot, Prince would have to sit and be somewhat stationary.
I can’t imagine the potential asthetic nightmere if he’d moved around or danced — also those dancers seemed like they may have been add-ons ? — and without carefuly choreographed movements, they could hurt themselves or Prince.
You’ll notice after the dancers went away, he stood to play the guitar and had room to breath.
Princey, you looked sexy as usual.
Think first, hate last.

Posted at 22:31h, 17 OctoberPrince can sit on a stool or whatever his little heart desires.I’ll take it however I can hear it!But of course I always LOVE 2 c him dance!My idea for the video will be revealed in bits & pieces. lol Never take your health for granted!Without it many things are not possible.So I wish him the best and send my prayers for whatever ails him. 😉 But he can always call on Nurse E. 😉 Thanks Doc for the update

Posted at 21:09h, 17 Octoberwell, i wish him wise decision making, i’m still reeling from the canal performance – interesting views all round then….. i find certain prince sites illuminating in there concept/bad language i can’t tollerate from certain peeps – but that’s just me! It’s not nice having to use a wheelchair or to be in constant pain – can i say that doc? prayers for him tonight – in my religion– thanks for reporting doc – we appreciate it—-lol

Posted at 20:58h, 17 OctoberJust my two cents, but I have the feeling that Prince is a very pragmatic Jehova’s Witness, So I don’t see the guy as such a victim of his religion.
And he still sings about how girls should doll themselves up and be sexy for him so he can waste money on them and all those kind of “worldly” stuff that very strict devoted believers would usually shy away from. I know what I’m talking about since I’ve been the target of those wannabe saviours – somehow I’m too polite to slam the door in their faces- a couple of times.
My guess is that if he thinks he needs his medical care, he will. Whatever you can say about him, he’s not stupid. And by the way; hip and knee operations are not things that doctors want to perform spontaneously. At least with knees they try to extend it as long as possible since these artificial things only last 15 years or something and after that you can repeat it only once and then it’s really wheelchair. So perhaps Prince is doing the math on actual age and his life expectancy too.
