according to Prince ( Prince: the internet's completely over - Telegraph ). So what do you plan to do with your extra time?

Best quote from the article "The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated."

Here Prince FTFY “The internet’s like my career. At one time my career was hip and suddenly it became outdated."

That guy's talented, but he's a total weirdo. He can do what he wants with his music, though.

As if we needed anyone to tell us long ago that he was already out of his mind.

Does that symbol represent a hermaphrodite playing a French horn?

I actually think I saw it in Eye of the Beholder, as a Dwarven Rune of Safe Passage. Seriously...

You probably can't understand him because your head is filled with all those numbers. They tend to clutter things up. :blue:

Not dead, but within the next couple of years it will be so saturated with porn, and so difficult to filter through to the other content, everyone will just move back to magazines and newspapers for silly things like "news" and "information."

I read somewhere that Prince is the musical equivalent of a mad scientist.

Sounds about right.

Right now he's the musical equivalent of Roger Ebert

Prince doesn't deserve a relevant opinion on anything after that horrible, horrible Vikings fight song:

I think we're all lacking in a bit of perspective here. Maybe he just meant that the internet isn't the cool thing the kids are doing these days, like it's just part of our lives now.

More importantly, WHY THE FUCK ISN'T PRINCE AGING? Is he a goddamned vampire or something?

(Confession: I'm a huge closet Prince fan. I actually owned the Batman soundtrack, and listened to the songs that weren't Batdance. I'm not proud of that...but I'm not ashamed either. And I am a sexy motherfucker.)

And this is one more reason I make it a point to try and not know personal things about artists I enjoy. Better not to know.

Might have meant "dead as a music distribution aid", since he compared it to MTV. Still utterly wrong.

Seriously. I can't remember the last time I actually bought a CD, but I downloaded an album from Amazon last week.

Element 117

i still buy CDs. but only imports that you cant legally download from other countries because of licensing issues. and i buy them online. So.


wait, i keep thinking that Prince was Michael Jackson's evil twin?

He doesn't musically suck, and is actually quite skilled on the guitar, whenever he actually does shit, which is rare, sadly. But on a personal level? He's a dick.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like a strange guy. I love this story.
