The Weak End That Was Neither Weak Nor Seemed To End Part I

What an f-in weak end it was folks. I hadn’t walked, seen, ate, and done so much stizz in one weekend since Coachella-Hellz Yealla-So Much To Tella-Lets Spread On The Nutella!! And without further Freddy Adu, here wees go:

Friday July 16th

As I killed three hours in Times Square waiting for Curious George’s mum to arrive I must have been approached by 76 people trying to sell me some comedy show tickets. I should make a tee saying “No, I DON’T like stand-up comedy, bizatch.” Anywho, CG’s mum’s Chinatown buss took 6 friggin hours to get to NYC and I was bitting my finger nails and chain-smoking the entire time. You see, we had to get our a$$es to the Meadowlands to see the Prince do his thang. Luckily, when we got to the Continental Airlines Arena, the Purple One had yet to perform a note.

Over the next 2 and 1/2 + hours, I would not be taking in a concert, but a perfromance (same thang with Madonna, Simon & G-Funk, and Bjork concerts). Let me tell YOU folks, before you die, you should eat at all the places listed on this site AND see Prince at least once. Gawd does his Princeness be looking super mad fantastic. He ages as gracefully as Dick Clark. And whatever diet he’s on, I want to be on too. He must of gone on this tour just so he could tell if the public still loved him. Answer: we do. He would constantly make gestures for applause, sort of like the whoring that Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne does, cept the Prince-dawg hactually deserves it. The guy has got to be one of the must talented musicians of all time. He’s like Hendrix, James Brown, and Elvis all rolled into one. Sure Elvis was king, but he didn’t write any songs or make purple look so good.

The show’s stage was pretty basic, but ideal for an arena concert. It was a giant cross so not only could more people see him from all around, but he could sell more tickets to his show. I engoruage all rockstars to do the same thing. Everybody wins. Anywho, on to the music!!! Looking at other set lists from this tour, it appears that each show is pretty much the same from one to the next. It seemed like he played anything and everything… until later over the weekend, I listened to his CDs and realized he didn’t really play everything. I was kinda bummed he didn’t give us a lil “Delirous” love, but I live. The highlights were mainly in his acuostic set where he jammed “Little Red Corvette”, “Cream”, “Raspberry Beret” and “Alphabet Street.” He closed that lil sesh with my personal fav “7” and used that as a perfect transition to bring his umcredible backing band back on stage. The only thing that was missing during “7” was a tamborine, which some dumpy chick 10 rows ahead of me glady brought with her to the show. Where was that tamborine during his cover of Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love”? The only lowlights of the whole thang was when Prince would hold up his microphone in the air and let the audience fill in the blanks to the verses and choruses. We all know yer songs P-diddy, but I didn’t really drop a C-note to hear someone else sing them. Methinks it was an attempt to stop bootleggers, as the Nurple One is quite protective over his works.

And to sum things up, Prince has “got the look”, “I would die for” him, I went f-in “crazy”, and “nothing compares 2” him. Nothing.
