The Goat Pen

My first thought was "Please, Please, Please"...

I'm a sucker for any band that has a horn section

even millineal disco pop

All they need to do is change the name of the show

-----------------

Gest, who is the former husband of singer Liza Minnelli, died at the Four Seasons hotel in Canary Wharf.

His friend and former bodyguard Imad Handi confirmed the news in a statement.

"It is with great sadness that I can confirm that David Gest has died today," the statement read.

He had planned to tour the UK in July with his latest show, called the David Gest Is Not Dead But Alive With Soul Tour!.

More info. Never heard of him

I never heard of him until he married Liza Manelli

...and there is a high probability that "friend and former bodyguard" actually means "husband."

RIP Prince

fuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk

damn..Bowie and Prince in a few weeks time

you got some big shoes to fill Bieber

now he really is the artist formerly known as Prince

Heh.

I heard last week only once though about his plane making an emergency landing but didn't hear another peep about it. Damn.

I heard a comic once say that Prince was proof that Jimi Hendrix had had sex with a poodle...

I hope he, Bowie and Bon Jovi have a great jam session up there.

I remember when he played at SXSW and Funny or Die had this blog entry from him (parody). It cracked me up because it really could have been by him
----------------------

hello i am prince. i am sexy.



funny or die called and asked me 2 write a blog 4 u. i said 2 the people at funny or die, “can i blog about the sky?” they said, “u can do whatever u want 2 do, u r prince.” i said, “thank u, i know.”

i was invited 2 play at sxsw by samsung mobile. they make tiny computers that u can keep in ur pocket and they connect u with erotic satellites. i do not need a computer 2 connect with erotic satellites. all i need 2 do is shake my thing.

samsung mobile said 2 me, “hi prince. we r a company. please bring us pleasure.” i said 2 samsung, “what kind of pleasure do u desire?” they said, “we need u 2 play a funk’d up show!” i said, “okay, i will play a show 4 u, please PayPal me $47 million dollars 2 my e-mail address purplefunk69@hotmail.com”

they sent me $47 million dollars, but then i decided, i also wanted them 2 send me a crystal vase filled with desire. samsung said 2 me, “prince, we don’t know how 2 send u a crystal vase filled with desire.” i said 2 them, “u r tough negotiators and i respect u 4 it.”

i decided 2 bring all 274 members of my band with me 2 austin. we flew 2gether on a purple spaceship and then we took a pedicab 2 the convention center 2 pick up our badges.

when I got there, they couldn’t find my credentials. i said, “hello i am prince” and they said, “we can’t find u in the system.” i cried in2 some roses and then they found my pass. i decided 2 give my pass 2 a swan because i do not need a pass because i am prince. i named the swan “imagination.” that swan is my funky friend.

once we were all checked in, i decided 2 fly 2 tunisia 4 some tea. then we came back 2 austin and caught the so so glos play at the spin party. they crazy.

we got 2 the venue 2 play the show and it was purple. some funk’d up little man from samsung keep tryin 2 talk 2 me while i was preparing 2 bring the funk. i would not look him in the eye and told him, “if u want 2 speak 2 me, u read my tweets.”

finally, they left me alone in my dressing room and i got ready 2 take the stage. here is the setlist from the show:


after that i left the stage 4 about 3 hours. i came back and played 26 encores. i’m actually going 2 go out and play 7 more songs after i finish typing this blog.

it was a beautiful experience 4 the children of a new atmosphere. i am a servant of the funk and proud 2 bring it 2 u with exquisite understanding.

thank u 4 reading my blog, i am prince.

I guess I still don't know how to post tweets

disregard that

Works now.

I think im just going to ignore Facebook today.

I liked Prince more for his music than his voice. He was a better guitar player than singer.

Awesome that he closed with 'Batdance'...
