Posted at 01:55h, 08 JuneYou’re welcome. And, thanks to you, the NPG and the opening Artists all of whom shared their time and talents with us. TwentyOne Nite Stand/Welcome2America was nothing short of a well-executed exercise in supreme musicology.
All the best to you on this day and moreso on the days to come.

Posted at 00:36h, 08 JuneThank you Prince for letting DrFB twitter your shows. I was there in spirit for each one. I went to one of your Madison Square shows. To answer DrFB’s question: my favorite songs are Beautiful, Loved, and Blessed; Song of the Heart; Seven; Somewhere Here on Earth (I am your tech savvy hippie that would text you to keep you company). I love your jazz, love, and songs that show off your sense of humor. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. It’s your special Day !! I hope everything is well with you. God Bless you, your band, and crew. Have fun at the North Jazz Festival.

Posted at 23:55h, 07 JuneNo, Prince, THANK YOU for the wonderful music, the tight band, the joy of watching you get down and get funky. It’s an experience I’ll never forget. I went to 9 forum shows, the 11 pm Troubador show, and the 7pm and 10pm shows at the House of Blues. Let’s do it again soon!

Posted at 21:22h, 07 JuneI admit I am on the late freight when it comes to seeing Prince live.
But I made up for it by seeing him 4x @ the Forum. As an adult I can really appreciate the musicianship he exudes. I truly forgot how old he was each time I went. Born & raised in Inglewood, I really appreciate him coming here. I’ll be singing ” INGLEWOOD SWINGING” for the rest of my purple life. 🙂

Not a complaint here…. I loved every minute of it!

Posted at 20:48h, 07 JuneThat’s very sweet, but we’d like to thank HIM! This was an amazing purple ride that I’m glad I was there for so many times! This purple girl is hooked and will be at his shows even when he’s 73 because yeah, I think he’s got it in him to perform that long!
Here’s a thread started on Prince.org that people should add to….let him know how much he’s appreciated!
