Make us your home page  Is Prince getting ready for a tour?
purplerain460.jpgDearly beloved, we are gathered here today to
get through this thing called life. And it'd all be a whole lot
easier getting through it if his royal purpleness Prince would
do a nice long tour again.  Good news comes today from
Pollstar.com, which says Prince is planning a series of dates in
Chicago. Technically, only one date -- Sept. 24 at the United
Center -- has been formally announced, but there's indications
it could become a longer series of shows. And maybe a tour? We
can only hope.  Pollstar says Prince is working with Rebuild The
Dream, an organization that "brings ordinary people together to
rebuild communities and work towards a brighter economic
future." Not sure how nonpartisan that sounds, but we'll take
Prince anyway we can get him.  If you're curious what songs
Prince has been playing live lately, here's the setlist for a
May 30 show in Melbourne, Australia. And yes, it actually
includes FOUR sets of encores.    1
