Being a "child of the 80's" I sent my sister this story about Prince signing to do an album (so they still call them albums?) with Sony/Columbia (My sister works for Sony). She sent me back a response that I jsut had to post (keeping in mind most my family still beleives my sister is stuck in the 80's...daisy dukes and all):
this is cool. Prince will definitely rake in the bucks for himself and for Sony. I heard yesterday that this upcoming tour will be his last as far as his "old style" music goes. All I can think about every time I hear the name prince is being back in the 80's playing pool at the bolero house listening to "i'm gonna party like it's 1999" and think how far away that would be....now I think back to how long ago that was.
True...true
