Two opinionated @prince superfans, @iamslickrick01 & @donnyenglish, dish about the good & bad of Prince Celebration 2026. They mostly diss official activities & the estate but were thrilled with unofficial things, esp in N. Mpls. @StarTribune report. startribune.com/prince-celeb…

Marathon @Prince tribute show @ArmoryMn was like buffet w no satisfying entrée. Band was terrific, setlist had range & deep cuts but no one commands stage like Prince (which we know). @TheMorrisDay @jameciabennett & Miguel rose to occasion. Review& videos app.startribune.com/story/60…

Estate announced a new @prince LP, Timeless, compilation of unreleased tunes out Aug. 28. Reaction has focused on randomness of 10 songs, spanning 1977 to '16, but we won’t know the conceit of the project till we read liner notes or statement from the estate, if those happen.
