you did say a prince tour would be announced at the end of july...today is the end of july. I believe you were wrong.

Jesus, its 6:30am where I am at.....give it some time!

yeah, also due to "unforseen circumstances" I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a tour announcement today. Therefore it can't really be told if Graycap23's predictions were right or wrong.

Ermmm, no, this particular thread is about you posting information that has been proved to be incorrect. Fair enough if we are proved wrong in the next half-day, but it doesn't appear likely. It's a case of, either you were making up the information for attention and to wind people up, or the information was genuine for all you knew but circumstances have changed such as Prince changing his mind. I'll quite happily give you the benefit of the doubt and say it is the latter.

It should be obvious to anyone that Prince often changes his mind, announcing his future plans is more akin to forecasting the weather a week in advance - it might come off and be accurate, but more likely things will change between then and now. So when you post any info, it would be far better to be out-in-the-open and simply state that you have heard from secret sources that this-and-that is going to occur to the best of your knowledge but Prince being Prince there's no guarantees, and then just leave it at that. But no, you kept indicating with many cryptic comments that you information was rock-solid and still going to happen. You didn't really need to do that. Not only that, but you tried to reinforce your claim by saying you knew part of the setlist - and then went on by-and-large just to repeat the obvious 3121 tracks he has already played.

In the end, no harm no foul apart from getting people's hopes up, but you have to realise no one's going to believe any info you give is 100% accurate again, and that's your own fault for the way you have presented it.

Believe what ever u wish. I only shared this information because I was asked 2 do so. It would have been much easier NOT 2 share the information but I knew full well what I was getting myself into.

That being said.....let the week unfold.

Okay, and I hope you're right. I think most folks just want to know why you seem so sure of this. Look, at the end of the day, if he announces his tour, then cool. If he doesn't, then you really should explain why you were so certain.

Graycap23 said:

WHEN WHEN WHEN

WHERE WHERE WHERE

Anything is possible...

I won't be surprised when Prince does announce this. Let's take it 2 the stage.

Peace?

no BUT THE BAY AREA IS!!!!!

Graycap23 said:

i cannot express my feelings as well as metalorange did. here you go again. source your info, or don't post it. that's all I ask. really simple, unless you're the messenger holding the gun aiming at your foot.
I know..I'll go to npgmc and find out....DOH

purplerein said:

Just roll with it, he said the announcement is coming.....so give it time today.....then you can go off if nothing pans out

U all should probably trust Graycap on this.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, but Everything I Believe..Is True - Prince told me so!

Fair enough, you were asked to share this information, but why not leave it at that, were you also asked to constantly back-up this information or was that off your own back?

And where's this 'let the week unfold' business come from, you said categorically that an announcement would occur by the end of July, now are you saying it will be by the end of the first week of August? Talk about constantly shifting the goal posts. I'm beginning to think that you were simply gambling that Prince would announce a tour by now so you would appear big and clever and somehow on the inside, and are now trying to eke this gamble out as long as possible in the forlorn hope it comes true soon...

Lol. U have no IDEA what u r talking about. That said.....enjoy the ride.
