The man who once was one of the biggest rock stars in the world saw years ago that the music industry couldn’t keep doing business the way it had, so he went directly to his fans online.
Halfway through the most successful tour of 2004, in a summer when almost every other tour is tanking, Prince’s concerts are a virtual coast-to-coast sellout, breaking records in major cities. One Pepsi Center show next week is sold out, and the other is close to it.
As a long-time Prince fan, I find this whole article (a) vastly entertaining (b) entirely in keeping with the personality that I became familiar with back in the 80’s.
Wonder if I can swing tickets for the show at the Pepsi center. Hmm…
Go. Definitely go.
I saw him at the Staples Center when he was here in LA for one of his (at least) four sold out shows. It is definitely well worth the money.
This guy may be a “freak” but he really knows his industry, his fans, and his music.
I’m sorely tempted to go see him again when he swings through San Diego.
