Saturday September 1st: Wow. It's a month since this all kicked off. Sure, there have been a few late nights and I've read the Daily Star more than I ever thought I would, but it's been a blast so far. Here's to the last 20 days....
I want some of what they've been smoking over at The Daily Telegraph - they have proclaimed that Dave managed to "outfox" Gordon this week. I obviously slept for a whole day or just ignored the news in every paper and on every TV channel, because I completely missed that. Oh.....they're talking about his line on the whole "crime" thing. Hmmmmm. You can't hate the Telegraph, for trying to back their boy, even if he is a halfwit.
Word coming out of 3121.com is that Prince opened with INXS' What U Need and performed a brand new song last night's solo keyboard set. I guess we should have seen it coming; lock arguably the greatest musician of a generation up in a plush hotel with a full band and it's inevitable that something will happen. No details as to the name of the joint yet, but as soon as I know, I'll share....
Today also marks the end of the regulr gig timetable. No more Tuesday/Friday/Saturday schedule - from here on out it's Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with the closing night on a Friday. The Sunday night shows are going to be a killer. That's 20,000 people, every Monday for three weeks who are going to be a complete mess for the beginning of the working week. Now, I'm not one for going off on a paranoid conspiracy theory type tangent.......Hahahaha - Yeah, I know, I know....but this could be Prince's way of trying to bring the British economy crashing down. If half the audience pull a sicky after the gig - that's a decent enough chunk of London's workforce out of action for a day. Watch the stock market, people. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Brown could be about to go head to head, for real...
Unfortunatley for Mr. Nelson, not all reports are positive today. The Guardian website features an article, that airs the grievances of many audience members who feel diddled after paying almost £250 for tickets only to discover that they weren't the best ones in the house. The article also mentions that someone has paid £620 for a last-night ticket. I guess not everyone has Dame Lucy on speed-dial....
The Sun ran a story about the only man with permission to take photos of Prince's perfomances. Photographer, Kevin Mazur has been granted the privilege and The Sun were quick to snap up the first clear photo of the man at work that I have seen since August 1st. They've copyrighted it as well, so there is no chance of 'jackin' for flicks'...
