Everyone knows the song. Play the first chord and you just have everyone around you sing. But not the case. Instead you had a crowd silenced by the ability premiere of the song. This is one of only a handful of bootlegs of this track did not the crowd goes nuts, instead they listen to the song and literally see the history in the making.

Open Letter to Prince
The Dick Formerly Known As Prince (TDFKAP): An Open Letter to the Purple One
To Prince, His Purple Majesty, His Royal Badness, The Dick Formerly Known As Prince:
Today, a year after opening your LotusFlow3r club, you charged fans who had requested to cancel their annual memberships another $77. How do I know? Because I am one of them.
The worse is that several months ago, I sent a request to your support / sales group to LOtUSFLOW asking to cancel my subscription. I have never been answered, so I went to the site and changed my credit card. I told myself that surely this would be sufficient. I knew that the site of auto-billed each year, but the words that you said to email support@lotusflower.com, many, many fans have. Instead of an answer, we all woke up with nice little charges $ this morning. The best part? At the time of writing - Your site is currently down, and totally inaccessible. Part of me wants to hope that you have something more planned. But it gives the impression that I drinking the purple Kool-Aid, I not. I just want my $ back, please. If you can show me that you have better things to come, I would say maybe even consider joining the site, but I do not want to pay $ for a black page. Sincerely Please stop being a dick giant purple Steven Anthony Hammock UPDATE: And like that, here is the official message of the support team: "Dear Member LotusFlow .com, We were saddened to hear today that the first followers of LotusFlow .com were charged $ for a subscription to repeat on the site. We did not expect this action to occur automatically as we did not set up a script in our recurring billing code. After the phone with the Authorize.net payment gateway, we found that subscriptions were renewed at their end. We immediately put an end to the recurring billing for all additional subscriptions and we will refund those who have been charged. We apologize for the inconvenience and we work quickly to reimburse any person who has been accused for a second year. Please be aware that the prince himself had no hand in this area and that the error was due to a lack of discipline on our part. Sincerely, development team LOtUSFLOW
" UPDATE # : When I wrote this article last week I had no idea she would end up posted all over the internet. It quickly became the most read section of my site, has attracted a number of vicious phone calls and hate mail from some very angry fans. He also received a good amount of support for "my" side of the issue as well. I expressed my honest opinion on the facts and information I had at the time . support requests LOtUSFLOW they never expected to have a recurring charge - curiously a clause on joining the site itself that members would be "self-charged" unless canceled. Type a strange situation, but I glad they are doing their utmost to put things right. Obviously, I do not "take over" everything I said but I would note that I officially received my refund LOtUSFLOW . Some members say they have not yet. All Hopefully will soon be eligible for this particular legal issue Prince, but it is not worth that the Purple One is in. There is a follow-up of all kinds in this article, and you can Read here for Part of this "open letter" to the Prince.
Part of me wants to hope that you have something bigger planned. But that makes it sound like I’m drinking the purple Kool-Aid, which I’m not. I just want my $77 back, please. If you can show me that you have better things coming, I would even possibly consider rejoining the site, but I don’t want to pay $77 for a black page.
Sincerely Please stop being a giant purple dick,

UPDATE: And just like that, here’s the official message from the support team:
“Dear LotusFlow3r.com members,
We were saddened to hear today that the earliest adopters of LotusFlow3r.com were charged $77 for a repeat subscription to the website. We did not expect this action to occur automatically as we had not set up a recurring billing script in our code. After getting on the phone with the payment gateway Authorize.net, we found that the subscriptions were being renewed on their end. We immediately discontinued the recurring billing for all further subscriptions and we will be refunding those who have been charged. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and are working quickly to refund anyone who was charged for a second year. Please be aware that Prince himself had no hand in this and that the error was due to lack of thoroughness on our part.
Sincerely, LotusFlow3r development team”
UPDATE #2: When I wrote this article last week I had no idea that it would end up posted all over the internet. It has quickly become my site’s most viewed article, has attracted a number of vicious phone calls and hate mail from some very rabid fans. It has also garnered a fair amount of support for “my” side of the issue as well.
I voiced my honest opinion given the facts and information that I had at the time. LotusFlow3r support claims that they never planned on having a recurring charge — oddly a clause on the site’s membership itself states that members would be “auto-charged” unless they canceled. Kind of an odd situation, but I am glad they are doing everything they can to make things right. Obviously I don’t “take back” anything I’ve said, but I will note that I have officially received my refund from LotusFlow3r. Some members are claiming that they still have not.
Hopefully soon everything will be right with this particular Prince legal issue, but it’s not the only trouble the Purple One is in. There is a follow-up of sorts to this article, and you can

It is a kind of remake of Milan 9-mm, Set in Rome. The original title of screenplay was no accident Rome caliber 9 (Which was then in production Red blood diamonds and finally Dirty blood diamonds).
In addition to the similarity of plot the film proposes Barbara Bouchet in a role very similar to that interpreted Milan 9-mm. But the film reverses the assumptions of the previous year, and revises the original film.
A robber, after five years in prison, comes into conflict with his former gang leader, due to traffic diamonds.
Just released ex-convict Guido watches his girlfriend get killed on the way home from prison. He thinks the killing is connected with the events that led to him going to jail five years back. Guido starts to investigate...
In many ways a typical late DiLeo- crime film: unimaginative lightning, boring sets, unimpressive action sequences. Yet I think just because of the grittiness of the script, this one easily rises above the other DiLeo- turkeys I've seen.
Decent acting in the form of especially Barbara Bouchet and Guido's main adversary Martin Balsam, who stand out positively. Most importantly, the plot really thickens towards the end climaxing in a truly memorable final scene between Guido and Martin Balsam's Rizzo.
Released on video in Finland in the eighties.
Not Fernando Di Leo's best Polizi flick, 29 May 2008
Fernando Di Leo gets a lot of harsh criticism, but in my opinion; he's been behind some of the very burst Polizi flicks to come out of Italy, in particular The Italian Connection and Milano Calibre 9. On the strength of this film, however, you would be forgiven for thinking he's more than just a little bit sub-par as despite some truly excellent action scenes; Blood and Diamonds is not a completely successful film, and a lot of that is down to the fact that the plot doesn't flow too well and the film constantly fluctuates between exciting and boring. The plot focuses on a man named Guido who goes down for robbery. He is released several years later and gets picked up by his girlfriend. They decide to take the bus, and it turns out to be a bad decision as the bus comes under attack by a gang of thugs and despite the heroic ex-convict jumping the rescue of his fellow passengers; it doesn't stop the thugs from murdering his girlfriend. Guido begins to suspect that the murder may have some connection from his time inside and resolves to get to the bottom of it.

The opening is actually pretty good and makes you think you might be in for another excellent thrill ride, but unfortunately the bus sequence is never matched until the very end and by then it's too little too late. Prolific Italian actor Claudio Cassinelli takes the lead role and does a fairly good job with it, although he's not charismatic enough to lead the film on his own. His two main co-stars stand out more than he does, and the beautiful Barbara Bouchet as well as American actor Martin Balsam deliver great supporting performances. There's not a great deal of thrills during the middle of the film, which is a shame as this type of film is famed for shootouts and car chases; only an indoor fist fight is really memorable. Thankfully the plot does start to thicken as the film moves into the final third, although we are never really given a good reason to care for the lead character and so his plight is not all that interesting - that being said, the ending itself is better than the vast majority of what came before it. Overall, Blood and Diamonds is not a must see Polizi flick and I would only recommend it to hardened fans of the genre.
In recent years, the work of Polselli has been the subject of review by the criticism that has focused primarily on its production on the horror and baroque and excessive seventies, as to give it a reputation as "accursed author".
