And Prince would have been worth every penny. That amount is right in line with $25 bbq sandwiches.
I have it from good authority that the promoter could not afford the 15 thousand for the artist merchandise so Prince backed out at the last minute.
I was going to go just to see Tavis Smiley.
To heck with being famous. I'd rather be able to treat myself to a trip to Starbucks on Saturday morning, or go shopping, or out to eat, or wipe my nose on my sleeve, or hang out with a few friends, or wear a shirt untucked, or an old ragged ballcap, and NOT have the picture or video of any of that appear online, in print, or on TV.
Barry you need to fix the email on smith and green website it is incorrect
If he had not been paid in advance, acording to th econtract, he had the right to cancel. Read it--it's there. Should have been paid in full by Feb 3rd.
