prince is a beast!

those who know me the best know that i’m a big fan of prince – going all the way back to 1982 with little red corvette. i’m well aware that many find the dude to be eccentric, a bit too religious and “a little funny” in general. that’s cool, to each their own and i certainly can’t say that i know the man or what really makes him tick. what i do know is that there is nobody on earth right now – save maybe barack obama – who commands a stage like prince. aside from being a rock and roll hall of famer and winner of just about every music award there is to win, he has been THE innovator on the music scene with regards to concert staging, the internet, fan clubs, independent distribution, and music marketing. if you’ve got the bandwidth, then be sure to click the “HQ” button for the highest quality video available.

if the embedded video ceases to play, then check out his performance from last night at the nbc website. you’ll want to fast forward to about the 38-minute mark (the last tick on the video timeline). fyi that he also performs tonight and tomorrow night on leno as well – both at around 12:25 am EST on nbc. prince is promoting a new 3 cd set that drops this sunday exclusively through target stores nationwide.
