  • Lynsey De Paul
    2 don’t understand why so many people are angry with the recent iTunes promotion of U2’s new album. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying this because I am a fan of the band, or because I think it is a remarkable record. It’s not, and I’m not. The band have made much better records in the past, and they have made considerably worse ones. That isn’t the issue. There have been times in my life when I have been quite impressed with the band’s output, although I would never have called myself a true blue fan. But that isn’t the issue either. The issue is why are so many people incensed by the fact that iTunes paid the band an undisclosed sum (said to be in the multiple millions) to send a copy of the record to everybody who had an iTunes account on the day in question? Those beneficiaries included Dear Friends, me, by the way – twice. Welcome to another issue of Gonzo Weekly The album can be removed from your playlists magazine. For the first time in quite a few with a couple of clicks of a mouse, and although issues, our own life has quietened down I believe it is slightly more complicated if you somewhat; Weird Weekends have come and have an iPhone, I truly don’t think it is going to gone, grand-daughters have been born, and we be that much of an issue. are back in the relative safety of our own little sanctum in North Devon.

  • St Paul Peterson Shelby J
    St Paul Peterson Discovered at 17 by Prince, St Paul was hand picked to appear in the 1984 Grammy Award winning film Purple Rain as the new keyboard player in the acclaimed funk group The Time. He shortly thereafter contributed his keyboard and bass skills to the group's platinum album Ice Cream Castle (#24 pop), the infectious singles Jungle Love (#6 R& B/#20 pop) and The Bird (#36 pop). Prince then recruited him to front The Family, now known as fDeluxe, whose self-titled debut was released to critical acclaim in September 1985, generating the popular singles The Screams Of Passion (#9 R&B), High Fashion, (#34 R&B) and the original, and arguably, the finest version of the worldwide hit Nothing Compares 2 U, later popularised by Sinead O'Connor. St Paul is renowned as a thrilling live performer comfortable in every musical genre – complementing an impressive and ever-growing list of artists which includes Stevie Wonder, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Lionel Richie, Reba McIntire, Kenny Loggins, The Beach Boys, Little Richard, Boy George, Robert Palmer, Dolly Parton and Oleta Adams. He is also in high demand as a studio musician, working with many of the biggest names in the business, and as a songwriter and composer for film and television. Shelby J Singer, songwriter, supermova, Shelby Johnson as Prince dubbed her Shelby J is a native of Greensboro, North Carolina. Shelby has performed and collaborated with some of the greatest talent in recorded music history. She has toured and recorded globally with her band Blackgypsy and notable artists/groups: Groove Theory, Mary J Blige, Anthony Hamilton, D’Angelo & The Soultronics, Santana, Larry Graham, David Byrne, The Legendary Roots Crew and a little over a decade with her mentor…… PRINCE.

  • A Review of Prince's Art Official Age and Plectrum Electrum: When Is
    A Review of Prince’s Art Official Age and Plectrum Electrum: When Is Change Visionary, and When Is Change Selling Out? Originally Published by B. K. Nation.org on October 3, 2014 by C. Liegh McInnis It has been twenty-nine years since I’ve had a “what the hell is this” reaction to a new Prince album. When Around the World in a Day (1985) was released, I was a very unsophisticated fifteen year old who was, like most people, anticipating Purple Rain II. I received an album from an artist who was not interested in meeting anyone’s expectations accept his own. I must admit that my “what the hell is this” response to Around the World in a Day was a positive reaction whereas my “what the hell is this” response to Art Official Age and Plectrum Electrum was one of utter confusion. I like most of the songs; I just do not like that they sound like this era’s music. Prince’s first manager, Owen Husney, once stated that Prince’s genius is taking what’s in someone else’s mind to the next level. If we review Princes work from 1978 to 1989, Husney’s statement is affirmed. Yet, from 1990 to 1998, Prince seemed to struggle with reconciling himself to hip hop’s takeover of popular music. He begins by defying and attacking it and ends by attempting to assimilate it with varying success but not enough success to remain on the charts or in the hearts of the masses as a relevant studio artist, which was fine with me.

Jacqueline Hudson American Culture Studies Bowling Green State University Nothing Compares 2 U: The Performance of Prince through Cover Songs Prince Rogers Nelson, born in 1958, in Minneapolis, Minnesota was lauded as one of the greatest and most influential multi-hyphenates (singer-songwriter-producer-instrumentalist) in the music industry. He influenced many artists across different genres of music such as rock, funk, soul, and pop. With both parents musically inclined, he was destined to be involved in music. As a young child, Prince taught himself how to play the piano and the guitar he was given to as a child. He even wrote his first song on his father’s piano. After his parents divorced, he moved back and forward between his parents’ homes, but settled on living with a friend and his mother.
