PRINCE: New Media Mogul?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
While radio shock jock Howard Stern claims to be "The King of All Media," the Almighty Oprah Winfrey is the closet thing to true media dominance --with successful interests in television, magazine publishing and satellite radio.
But whatever anyone may think about those two media moguls, there may be a need to make room for the prince.
Not the prince of England… the musical genius Prince.
According to The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist's camp, the media shy music maestro is reportedly currently in talks with several Las Vegas publishers, piquing interests with his concept '3121 Magazine.'
"[It] will feature interviews with musicians and exclusive photos taken by Prince," a statement announced. "Currently on location shooting publicity shots for a new singer he is working with, Prince will be back in Vegas to ring in the new year at 3121."
Oh yeah, that's also the name of his new weekly nightclub gig at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas -- and his latest platinum selling opus.
The statement continued: "When Prince is not bringing down da' house at 3121 on Friday and Saturday nights, he is busy pursuing his current hobby, photography and it appears that his work is quite extraordinary -- capturing private candid shots with the same air of his unique jam sessions. '3121' Magazine would provide the perfect outlet to showcase his photos."
I wonder if the magazine --if it sees the light of day -- will be all done up in purple.

Dear Prince:
I cannot express in words how much I've adored you and your music since I discovered you, when you were 19. Before my eyes graced you, I heard your voice on the radio. I knew then, when I heard your voice, our world had changed.
I saw you three times in Tallahassee, Florida; my place of birth and remember each performance. Although the civic center appeared huge to me then, the atmosphere was so intimate and personal when you sang and perform for us, that I felt I could reach out and feel you.
The posters were beautiful, and made me feel other than I was when I viewed them.
Thank you for an eternal voice, persona, and an ultimate experience I'll probably never experience like then, again...
YACA PEACE 2 U (I get the lettering from U)

If you put as much love and passion into your magazine as you do your music, it will be read and loved by many for years to come. I for one can't wait to read it. JennJohnson Shreveport, LA
