Did anyone see the TV show "The Real" today? I'm not sure what was said but Sheila E posted this on facebook today and apparently it's in response to somethign that was said on that show. I have to wonder if it had something to do with Madonna doing the Prince tribute.

On Behalf of musicians, artist, creator, performers and anyone aspiring to be one of those, YOU ARE RELEVANT! It was exactly that type of attitude and comment, recently conveyed on a talk show by a misinformed guest, that Prince, Paisley Park and those who have been an extension of, continually fought, and still fight, against. The creations and the creators, contrary to fleeting popularity or fame, is what breathes life into art. The lack of understanding, and myopic view of dollars over sense is what perpetuates the ignorance that continually works against the artist, and the industry.
I am offended!

LOL I loved the last line of the article. Hilarious!

This part is funny: waited a beat, and said, “I do the music.”

Ha. Great story but no. She is super private (and she insists his wishes would be not to blab to media) and would never give a story. In fact, she's actually quite upset so many former employees are giving stories. Everything in this story screams true from stories I've heard. Healthy eater, but like treats (as I first wanted to point out).

I was hoping it is permanent.

This is now the third extension, ratings must be good maybe there's a chance. I definitely wouldn't mind.

It's so fantastic. Maybe an outlet for everything in the vault.

Yes!

I mean no disrespect to other artists, but some of the single-musician stations feature performers with a lot less range than Prince.

LOOKIN AT YOU JIMMY BUFFET MARGARITAVILLE STATION

THIS x1000

Agree, particularly since they just came out with the Kenny Chesney station that is probably identical.

Also, Pearl Jam? Really?

What? That does it, give this man his own damn channel!

I'm finding out via this station so many songs I liked are actually Prince covers - She's always in my hair, his original is even better

the MJ pandora station is str8 garbage. unless you want to hear prince.

Lucky, my 16 year old thinks Prince is a total weirdo. My 11 year old tolerates it but inst that enthusiastic about any of his songs.

Agreed! Just listening to it today and he wrote so many amazing songs for so many other artists that it's not just Prince they're playing.
