'You are the coolest place on earth right now!' Prince declared to the tens of thousands of music lovers at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday.
Prince fans!!! His royal PURPLENESS is scheduled to be honored with a benefit concert March 7th at Carnegie Hall. So far the lineup includes the Roots, Talib Kweli and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
I love the Roots but you know it won't really be a show until Prince takes the stage and ONLY if he does the 'old' Prince stuff. LOL!
The concert, on March 7, will mark the ninth year that Michael Dorf, the founder of City Winery, has mounted a show to raise funds for education programs serving the poor. The series has raised more than $700,000 for programs like the Church Street School of Music, Young Audiences New York, Music Unites and the Pinwheel Project. The beneficiaries this year will also include the American Symphony Orchestra’s Music Notes, Little Kids Rock and the Center for Arts Education.
Past shows have paid tribute to the Rolling Stones, the Who, R.E.M., Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. This year’s concert will follow the usual formula: an eclectic group of musicians will reinterpret the catalog of a master songwriter, though the show this year promises to have a funky R&B edge.
