Out of respect for Prince’s Web Sheriff, popular rock music discussion blog Rock Town Hall will remove all images of and references to the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
“Out of respect for the Web Sheriff, the Prince organization, its crack legal team, Prince’s standing in the Munchkin community, and all true fans of the artist,” said the Hall’s Mr. Moderator, “we will begin wiping Rock Town Hall of all traces of this great man’s work, from discussions of his last 22 albums that came and went without a trace to our extensive collection of fan fiction and sketches.”
As examples of the sort of material that will no longer appear on Rock Town Hall, Mr. Moderator points to this, this, and this. “We do fear that removal of these images will change to flavor of the site, but our efforts at supporting the works of Prince only represent a small portion of the millions of fans who received free copies of his last album by buying whatever newspaper it was that included it along with the coupons.” Mr. Moderator said that he and The Back Office have discussed replacing some of the images of Prince that are essential to its layout with those of Bob Seger.
Mr. Moderator continued, “I’m most worried about Townsmen Hrrundi and Geo. They have come to depend on Rock Town Hall, in large part, for our members’ enthusiasm over the man’s earlier and underappreciated works.”
Will this include all references to “assless chaps” ?
Sadly, andyr, yes.
Listen, Townspeople, change is necessary, change is a good thing…
Will andyr still be able to wear the assless chaps in the privacy of his own home?
ﭼ am sad U have 2 do this but ﭼ know U have no choice 4 now.
Kpdexter asked:
I wouldn’t see why not. I don’t think the Web Sheriff’s reach extends quite that far. Even if it does, he would probably think twice about going there.
alexmagic, thank U 4 U’re understanding.
My wife sure hopes so 🙂
The hell is all this about? Details, please. I’m going to say as much about anyone as I would like, thank you very much.
Mwall, click on the title of this piece and you will be transported to one of the news stories that circulated this morning.
Youse guys know that Prince is Punjabi for Led Zeppelin, right?
This could be the best thing that’s ever happened!
Okay, thanks, got it. My guess is, some years down the road his image is gonna look like Phil Spector’s.
Sorry to hi-jack this thread but just saw this news item of importance to all RTH nerds:

Costello and Clover to reunite for benifit shows…
That is all. Back to your regularly scheduled comments…
I guess he’ll do plodding versions again of the songs The Attractions play much better anyway
Oh – I do see that Pete Thomas is playing drums for Clover. Smart move!
