I just saw Prince's new video, "Cinammon Girl" (an artistically spectacular one, IMO). I wonder if it will raise a few eyebrows?

Judge for yourself and see it here: http://music.channel.aol.com/artist/main.adp?artistid=5182

And yes, that is Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes from Whale Rider as the "cinammon girl"! :thumbsup:

You have to install some type of AOL media player to watch it. :(

I couldn't tell what happened at the end. Did she blow the place up, or did she un-blow it up??? :confused:

And how nice of them to offer nothing in the way of a download for it. :rolleyes:

I'm using IE on a Win2K box and one of those security warning dialogs pop up when I try to load the video; I have the option to install the software or not. I would love to see the video but I won't more software to do so. I refuse to even load Real Player on my PC anymore.

Well, at least you get that. I'm running 98SE and all I get is a prompt box for Dialup or Broadband choices and when I choose one, it just hangs there.

The page won't even load in Safari. Jackballs.

If any of you are members of the NPGMC, you can watch the video in the clip room.

No you don't. It's just Quicktime.

pdenny: loaded fine in Safari for me.

Glad I chose the dial-up option, as that's slow enough!

If you're on a mac like me, you can't install those PC exe files, so I can't view it.
