Purple Rain in Bklyn--What was Jerome's beef?

Can anyone else that was at last night's Purple Rain in Brooklyn shed some light on what the hell Jerome was talking about when he said some Prince.org'ers need to get jobs b/c the stuff written on here is wrong?
Do you think he was talking about the Ultimate Prince cd or something else?

(Like this thread: http://www.prince.org/msg/5/174590 )

It's not a big deal, I was just curious...


PS. I saw the drunk guy as my friends & I were leaving--dude couldn't even walk straight--he had one foot in the gutter and his pants were unzipped. disbelief I hope he has a HORRIBLE hangover for being so obnoxious. barf absolut
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I was there too and I was curious about what Jerome was talking about. I just found it interesting that he even looks at the org. He even gave me a high five as he was leaving! That drunk guy was getting on my nerves. He was several seats from me and he had a bottle of vodka in his hand the whole time. I was so glad the got that fool out but they should have done it an hour before. It was a fun night though.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I know...when he asked if there were any prince.org people, I thought he was going be nice about it...like thanks for the support or something. whatever... he's probably checking the org today to see if we're talking about him. rolleyes

Drunk guy was super annoying. He was about 4 rows behind me & slightly to the right....I saw that he had a bottle of Stoli Vodka too & it was in the trash by the front door when we left. It was really quite sad, he came by himself and was obviously conflicted about whether he liked Prince or didn't like Prince. (My theory is that he's a disgruntled fan that liked Prince b/f PR and since then has followed P's career only to criticize it.) Come to think about it, he's probably on the org too. lol


wave Hey Jerome!

BAM screened Purple Rain at 11pm following a Morris Day and the Time concert. Jerome & two other guys from the Time (boxed don't know their names) introduced the movie and Jerome was saying that orgers need to get m'fuckin lives cause the stuff "we" write and think is correct is not, and he just might have to join the org and set us straight.

Yeah I did notice that he was by himself, only after wondering why no one next to him would shut him up earlier. He had to be an old timer who stayed in 1984 with Purple Rain lol. Jerome was funny with the org bit. He should do an interview type of thing that Alan Leeds did to set the record straight if anything is wrong.

Hi to drunk guy and Jerome!

I considered going to this, but since I had just seen The Time last month in Manhattan, I passed. I would have liked to have heard Jerome's mention of the org. Even if it was a negative one.

My interpretation was that some info on the org was wrong. It was weird. He asked, "are there any prince.orgers here?" and then when people screamed he started talking about "Y'all motherfuckers need to get day jobs instead of sitting around writing stuff that is not true. You think it's correct but you are wrong. I should join the org and start writing stuff too." (Can anyone else who was there remember what all he said?)

Something like that. I thought it was really weird--I didn't know if he was talking about all the info about Prince & 3121 & Tangerine17's info about the Rhino remasters, or something completely different (like the Jerome is gay stuff in the thread I posted above); but he was kind of a dick about it I thought.

Maybe he was just doing it to stir up speculation... shrug

You pretty much summed it all up cause that's all I remember. He did say that a new album is coming out soon but I wondered if he meant Prince or The TIme.

I know right.

That's pretty much what I thought. We should be careful though shhh, Jerome is probably lurking and getting even more pissed .

I took it to mean a new Time album.

Fine...but really, how many threads do you see about Jerome on here? Last time I checked it was prince.org, not jerome.org. Yes, I would agree there are SEVERAL people on here whom I think perhaps need to find additional hobbies, but for Jerome to get all pissy about something on a website that's not about him is kinda wack. Unless he's talking about something that was said about him; in which case he really should elaborate instead of criticizing those who came out to support Prince & the Time.

I wasn't there ( I caught their show at BB King last month) but I would guess he was referring to someone's thread on here asking if he and Morris are gay.

Granted, that thread was kinda dumb, but it's kinda shocking that he was reading it. Actually it's kinda cool if he's reading the org.

He should join the Org but not to argue with people who are baiting, but to actually discuss the music and the Time and all the suff we care about smile

Oh please,this is the Internet.There is always alot of misinformation and rumors being spread.That's just the way it goes.If Jerome is so pissed about what people are saying about him,then he should be a man and come on here and set the record straight.In any case,considering where his career is at these days,he should be glad that people are still talking about him at all.
