Bailey Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 ....I realize most of you wont respond or care, but on the Prince front, chile I just heard his hit "Let's Go Crazy" being used for a Capital One credit card commercial. Can you imagine sitting watching TV and a Doritos' commercial comes on and in the background you hear Janet's "You Want This" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 ^^ not only would I mind because they are taking great music from great artists and commercializing on the music in a "cheesy" way but they are also going against what the artist stood for. In Prince's case, particularly, he made it a very big point to stop distribution of his music in any form other than through him, banning phones at concerts. In short Prince would never have approved the use of his music for the commercial gain of a corporation, so to me it's sad to see this is where his estate is.

Prince erroneously left no will to a bunch of relatives with little to nothing. The writing was clearly on the wall from the beginning they actually had the nerve to charge strangers to tour Paisley Park and look at Prince's body. When family and money mix together, the result is often akin to mixing ammonia and bleach, toxic at best. I will tell you what I am, I am tired, tired of seeing the same sad outcomes from poor judgment(s) being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Family and money mix together like illegal substances and 80 pop stars*^ Thats a better example than ammonia & bleach Prince fucked up.

JJATL Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I see this commercial all the time, and I totally agree - it makes me cringe. Prince would detest this. How did they get the rights to this? His family looking to make a quick buck?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
