Prince’s Songs Illegally Recorded on a Norwegian Cover Album

Posted by Rod

Prince is suing the bosses of a Norwegian record company after learning they released a five-CD cover album full of his hits without his permission.  The 81-track package, entitled Shockadelica, features Norwegian artists performing hits like Purple Rain and Sign O’ The Times.

The cheeky music executives at C + C Records inadvertently alerted Prince to the limited-edition package when they sent him a copy, according to RollingStone.com.

The pop superstar’s lawyers have ordered the Norwegians to destroy all copies of the album.

This is like robbing somebody without a mask and then sending them the videotape of the robbery.  There’s some serious lunchin’ going on here.  The record better hope Prince’s people are only asking them to destroy the albums.

Prince Performing in London Before Taking Time Off To Study Bible

 Prince

Prince will perform 21 shows in London before taking some time off to study the Bible.

The 48-year-old, who said he was getting his inspiration these days from “prophets from the Bible”, added that he did not expect to be back in London performing for some time after the 2007 visit.

“That’s another reason why we’re trying to stay so long. I just need to take some time off for study and travel.” When asked what he was studying, he replied: “The Bible”.

Prince said he planned to change his show every night, meaning fans who came to several shows would get a broader cross section of his music. “We play so many different styles of music, it’s really hard to get a full dose of what we do unless you come to several shows. I also have a wide fan base that comes to multiple shows all the time.”

No dates are planned for the U.S.

Prince Super Bowl Halftime Preview

Posted by Brian

Here is a preview of Super Bowl Halftime Show that Prince is performing. It is kind of long(about 10 minutes), but it is good. Don’t watch too hard as you may get dizzy from the shaky video. Still trying to figure out exactly what color the suit is that he is wearing. Definitely the Prince we all know and love.
