Columbia is not happy because it damages the relationship they have with their retailers in England, so just the UK branch of SONY BMG pulled out... because their retailers were upset. Columbia overall is probably still miffed because apparently this deal was in the works before he got into talks

That's what I said... Prince has NO say on how much tickets to HIS performance cost? If the hotel is only trying to recup the money they are paying Prince then the hotel's prices are not "overpriced," that's just business. Even Prince & his advisors must have known that $77.07 x 200 tix would not

This goes into the Prince WTF?!!? file. Interesting that the 3121perfume page mentions its launch to coincide with a "global charity event" which would seem to suggest that he is on board in some way with the Live Earth celebration. On 5/7/07, j7rolthadice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://

Yeah I think it's a standard fee calculated annually or something. I used to work for a performing arts venue, and they had to make annual payments to ASCAP and BMI for performances that covered artists for whom ASCAP/BMI administered royalties. -Derek> On 3/9/07, Z.A. <[EMAI

I feel the same way. Even the aftershows have not sounded that impressive to me... sure the intimacy of the venue is special, but musically, it's not enough of his material at either the main shows or the aftershows. Hope if/when there is a tour, there are new setlists. tea I will admit.
