The One You Wanna See

The Message: Let's go Crazy!!

The next day Prince woke up at 4 am which was not unusual however this time around, he looked as though he just had an epiphany.

"Is everything okay? I asked sitting up on the bed. Prince standing in front of the mirror turns around and looks deep into my eyes and says:

"Everything is perfect; I just got a message from above."

"Above?"

"Yes you know from God, I see the path clearly."

I look at him waiting to hear what he heard.

"Well," I began. "What did God tell you?"

"We, you and I are going to go on our own.We are going to move ahead because God gave me instructions."

"Okay I am listening, ouch," I felt a slight pain in my arm. Prince rushed back to the bed, placed his hand on the bandage and asked:

"You okay, should I get you anything? Should I call Mell?"

"Oh I am okay, that sometimes happens, you know. Say did you ever find out who that guy was at the concert?"

"I have my guys working on it right now. Apparently, he was some big shot on the island's kid. I have a call with the Prime Minister later on this evening."

"He must be apologetic."

"Who knows, I don't have any hate for him, I hope that kid learns how to find love in his heart. He just needs to find God that's all."

"You are right about that. So tell me more?"

"I have decided to go on tour but this time around here is what I am going to do. The tickets are going to be affordable. Everyone should be able to see my show.I am going to set up my label."

"But you are a musician. I interject "how are you going to afford the whole production without help from a major record label?"

"Here is how, baby, well I am going to take the money I made from my records over the years and put it all into this endeavor."

"What that is crazy, you are going to wipe most of your savings to finance this? Isn't it too risky?"

"Well God spoke to me, and this is what I am going to do."

"But if you break away you will not have the marketing arm; people will forget who you are. You will not sell millions of records; Prince honey, think about this."

"Well, the reason those records go platinum is that everyone has a piece of the pie. Everyone has their hands involved and what do I get .10 cents by the time they are all done collecting what they claim is theirs and at the end of it all I do not own my masters, so I am going to leave and create new songs that I own completely."

"And tour at the same time?"I anxiously ask.

"Yes and tour at the same time, it is going to be sick!" Prince said. "I have to call the fellas, baby I love you" He pulls me in for a kiss, running his hand through my hair, I respond kissing him back, as I close my eyes.He pulls back opens his eyes and declares:

"I have decided to include the price of a cd in the tour price, so everyone gets a cd if they buy the concert ticket and that will count towards my album sales!" That is the moment I realize how incredibly brilliant Prince is. I smile at him , what an intelligent idea.

"Now I have to go to the studio. You should rest. Stop by later on?" He asked looking deep into my eyes.

"Yeah I will," I respond biting my lower lip and making a funny face. Prince laughs and says:
