I was dreaming when I wrote this, so excuse me if I go astray...
Hey,
Just read this on Reuters. It looks like Kevin saw the last time that Prince will EVER perform "1999". Wish I was famous and got invited to cool parties and had a comic book and a bunch of money...
...but then... I do have my home shoe repair course.

: The Artist To Retire '1999' in 2000
NEW YORK (AP) - The swan song of ``1999'' has arrived - take it from the artist himself.
Prince (or the artist formerly known as such) said the '80s megahit will be part of a pay-per-view concert scheduled to air on New Year's Eve - and that's it.
``This is going to be the last time we play it,'' he said Wednesday on CBS's ``The Early Show.'' ``We're going to retire it after this, and there won't be no need to play it in the 00s.''
Prince said he wrote ``1999'' 17 years ago. He just released a new album, ``Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic,'' his first in three years.
