When the record company that he is enslaved to sues a 95 year old for redistributing his music online, this quote will come back and bite him in the ass.

Prince has so much money that he doesn't need to put out another album... so if we wants to yank all of his music offline and make it such that people can get only get it on physical media... then so be it. Whomever wants his stuff will still be able to acquire it anyways....

Anyone who wants his stuff already has it... all not having it on the internet means is that people from younger generations will be spared having to listen to it

I just bet if he would have said something along the lines of loving the internet and being so into technology, you hypocrites would instead be saying how much you've always loved his music and how much of a "genius" he is. Oh but of course you are going to deny that right now because that's not what he said and you want to make yourselves appear "fair-minded". But be honest with yourselves; you're not. You're whiny hypocrites.

I squarely blame MTV for destroying the music industry back in the 80's and 90's, by putting image ahead of musicianship and giving rise to idiots like this. I cannot vomit hard enough. As far as Prince's statement about the internet being dead, its just a sad publicity stunt to drum up controversy before the release of his latest attempt to form something that resembles music.

MTV became garbage since the Hip-Hop crap started. Now is bloated with crappy reality shows and gossip dirt...

Sure there artist once called prince and now prince again. And the auto will not replace the horse. Now we understand the definition of idiot!
[citation][nom]mitch074[/nom]If he really wanted his 'perfect' music 'perfectly' heard, he wouldn't go the CD way: he'd go modern vinyl (which, with static-free heads, has better resolution than the CD, especially now with how studios saturate them), or DTS on a music DVD.[/citation]
Yeah, it's ironic that he says:
"Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.""
Then he releases his album on CD, which is really just digital 1's and 0's stored on an optical disc instead of a flash chip or magnetic disc. Plus, what CD player today doesn't have some form of digital "enhancement" built-in like EQ, bass boost etc?
He's part of the old generation of artists that have failed to adapt to the changing world and will soon fade away. Kind of like the dinosaurs.

Prince is hugely talented; it's pretty pathetic that a bunch of tech nerds are smacking the man down more for his music than his opinion on the "decline" of the internet. I suppose most of you think Suicide Silence is the epitome of musical talent.
That said, the dude is extremely weird. The irony is that most of you would secretly be hailing him if you knew his views on gays (here's a hint: he's a well-known homophobe).

Yes, Prince. If you don't give the internet your music, it will never find a way to get it. And you making statements like these will not make the 33 remaining fans who still buy your albums stop buying your albums. You'll be a billionaire using this logic, so keep it up.
