'Sign O' the Times:' Prince performs at Macy's

Fourteen hundred lucky Prince fans will be able to catch a live concert at the downtown Minneapolis Macy's on July 7. The pocket-sized pop star is performing in his hometown at the Federated Department Stores (NYSE: FD) branch to coincide with the launch of his new fragrance, 3121.

For $250, a ticket to what's being called the Ultimate Prince Xperience, you get admission into the private concert, a ticket to Prince's concert at the Target Center that evening, and a bottle of the fragrance (3121 is also the name of Prince's newest album).

Remember when Prince was so against commercialization

and the corporate control of his record company that he scrawled "Slave" across his face and changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol? Yeah, me neither.

$250 seems like a million to me the way the Michigan economy is right now! Can we get some help here in Michigan or what?

I don't think Prince has ever really been the anti-commercialization type. He did the Batman Soundtrack for chrissake!

He was never against commercialization -- he was against his former record label holding his creative works, his own property, hostage. That's why he was a "slave."
