Prince Says ''The Internet's Completely Over''

Well, if Prince says it, it must be true...

I guess I'll just go home and pack up anything that connects to the internet and see if anyone wants it...
 
The novelty of the internet may have waned, but it's not going anywhere either. It's not as exciting as it was a decade ago, but it's here to stay.
 
Well, Prince might be slightly strange some times, but you can't really argue with his success.

I think what he said is out of context. I think he was saying, "Music on the Internet is over. I can't find a way to get paid, so I'm out."

 
The only thing filling up your head Prince is your own ignorance.

I remember MTV used to be hip back in the day, as well as Prince. Both of your days are over but we still remember you, don't give people a reason not to. You weren't no Michael Jackson, The Beatles, or Neil Diamond buddy.
 
"They won't pay me an advance for it"

My job does not pay me in advance for my work. Why should he get paid in advance for music that is probably going to sound like garbage anyway?

You make money in life in order to survive to make more money.
 
I love tis article, thanks for the giggle..

Poor prince, he was never really with it in any case!!!
 
To be perfectly honest, I never thought he was that great to begin with. He reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson (only shorter, not as successful and still alive) in that he lives in his own world. Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) used to be a really big fan until he visited Prince's house and got totally snubbed by the a-hole. There's a concert he did at a college a while back where he goes into detail about it. The guy (Prince) has his whole house wired for sound so he can do production in any room in the house (including the bathroom). But it also gives him the ability to listen in on any room in the house. He has a vault filled will fully produced music videos that he has never shown anyone (Smith jokes, "Why, so if everything shuts down we'll still have entertainment?"). Anyway, you listen to Smith recount his visit and you are left with the undeniable conclusion that Prince is a really wierd dude.

As for the Internet... I'll wager everything I own that it will be around long after his music is completely forgotten.

To add onto that, when Prince checks into hotels and such, it is almost like the president, but worse. He has to have the lobbies cleared, no one else can be on the same floor as him, the windows in his room are covered with a black plastic bag or cloth, he always has a group of guys circled around him so no one can see him, and he hates getting visits/autograph requests from fans. The dude is really paranoid, which probably adds on to his hate of the internet because information is so easily shared.
 
Let's see here... a "has-been washed up artist previously known as Prince" calling the Internet and digital "over."

Oooooo-Kay! He is obviously delusional and a danger to society and should be institutionalized in a rubber room with a straight jacket so we can finally move on.
 
I agree. Prince and other showman alike have their music show way too complex for properly enjoying with ear-bud headsets.
The truth is Internet is ahead of Prince's time and he simply can't adapt.
The bad thing that it'll take to have him dead for us to miss his outdoor concerts.
