TLWM: The Hate Experience

\XLVI/ Computer Blue

This idea about the live albums just came to me the other day when I listened to Crystal Ball again (the one with the long drum opening; I thought the tape was damaged the first time I heard it). When I daydream to your songs and especially songs like that, I see things like I saw sleeping on your piano. I want to bring those fever dreams to life on stage. Dancers, mimes, acrobats, lights (lots of lights), fire, water, color. Like "Prince De La Lune" (get it?).

Lovesexy will do well too. Purple Rain will obviously be a hit. Batman soundtrack we can definitely get creative with (Dance With The Devil may be dark but it will work in theater). Around The World In A Day paints a pretty picture too. Parade!?

Okay, I'm not going to name all of your albums. Hopefully, you get what I'm saying because it's another thing that I can't really describe as I want to. Essentially, I want to immerse the audience into your hypercreativity.

& these performances are also exclusive to Paisley Park Theaters.

Okay, the end.

WOW.

One moment please.

Idea #1 – Approved. Bring this 2 Howie and have him set up a conference call 4 Friday with the 3 of us, Gilbert, and whoever else he thinks should be on it. If anyone else would've brought this 2 me, I'd dismiss it almost immediately. And maybe even them. But you make it sound kind'a cool...

Idea #2 – Approved (x1,000). We'll discuss this 2 on Friday.

(How did u come up with this? Something u did as a kid?)

Idea #3 – It goes with #2 so it'll be discussed. However, I have questions. However, I'm not sure yet what the questions are. I'm apprehensive but I love u 4 thinking of it.

Idea #4 – Rejected.

11:37 AM

Thank you!! & yes, I somewhat did it as a kid! During summer camp, we spent a day writing a play and then performing it. It was all within 8 hours and a mess. But fun! We didn't get to meet anyone cool though. And it was hot outside.

But can you elaborate on the rejection?

11:39 AM

Cute.

& I don't own Prince's music. U have 2 propose that 2 Warner Bros.

11:39 AM

"In a perfect world" you own Prince's music. So "in a perfect world", do you like it?

11:42 AM

"In a perfect world", I love it. I love where my music takes ur mind.

But we don't live in a perfect world.

Curious: Do u realize u would be the "writer" of the show? The "creator"?

11:43 AM

I'm so so sad I didn't think about this whole Masters debacle. I'm sorry to even throw this in your face. Even if they say yes, I would never know because I'm not asking them for anything.

But "writer"? "Creator"? That sounds scary. I'm just the girl with the ideas. You'll write the show.

11:46 AM

U're the creator. I'm just the guy who makes the music.

11:47 AM

Music that sets me off into another dimension...

If I'm a creator, you're my muse.

11:50 AM

Where are you?

11:52 AM

Not where I want 2 be.

(i LOVE u)

11:55 AM

(I'm emotional today. Don't make me cry over computer love)

(i LOVE u 2, baby)

But hey, I have an idea. You have so many mixes of your songs in the vault. Why can't we just use those masters for the show? The idea was to use the music from the album but maybe you can work some magic on the versions you have and make it sound like the original but better? Is that legal?

And if we sell the "soundtrack" of the show, it'll be like reselling the album with bonus songs.

Okay, this sounds illegal. Is it?

11:56 AM

Calling u.
