【ハリウッドより愛をこめて】プリンス、老舗アリーナ買収で音楽界に改革起こす？

come on the stage and sing the song "Why Don’t You Call Me Anymore", which is a song that Alicia actually covered a few years ago. And he also performed some new songs, so I am hoping that SOON he will be announcing the release info for his new album!!

Now the venue that he is using for his LA leg of the "Welcome 2 America" tour is a very old venue in the area of Inglewood, called The Forum. It was used by such big names as James Brown, Michael Jackson and the Lakers used to play there before the Staples Center was built. However it is not really used much anymore. So rumors have it that Prince is thinking about buying The forum and using it to "bring back real music to the people".
It seems that he thinks that the current state of music is a disaster, and he wants people to be able to get music that isn’t auto-tuned hits like the current popstars such as Ke$ha, etc.So he is looking at buying the venue and booking various artists to come play there who "represent real music". Good idea? COULD be...but it is also definitely a big risk. Especially with the current economic situation. But I do believe that if ANYONE can do something like this, it is Prince, because he is so well respected in the business and also by the music buying public. SO...there are still a few shows left with Prince at The Forum here in LA, and I am determined to go back to see him at least a couple times!!

Readers, if you do get a chance to come see a Prince show in LA in the next month, take advantage of it! I guarantee you that it will be worth your while! I just heard that at his LAST show, Chaka Khan made a guest appearance and performed a couple songs!!! Who is NEXT???!!!? Can’t wait to find out!!!
