Prince to play the Hotel California?
The Purple One, aka The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As, has been performing "after-shows" for years. However this time, while in support of his latest jam, 3121, he's been organizing the scorching late-night shows through his official website so as to stoke the "real" fans.
Unfortunately, the riff raff still seem to slide in, Paris Hilton.
Anyways, today we spotted this on the message boards and thought we'd share it with you.
