The performer Prince compares the Internet to the decline of MTV. It’s all over.
According to Prince his new album “20Ten” will not be available for download on the net. Yeah right. Maybe not officially. Prince seems like a pouty baby when he states that, “I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can’t get it.” So he is mad that he can’t get advance royalties so his bonehead response is to give the album away for free. Makes a lot of sense – bonehead!
Now my favorite part of the interview with The Daily Mirror is when Prince claims, “The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. 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.”
I think if we look inside the head of Prince we will find some dusty screws and nuts rolling around. And by the way Mr. Prince, music is math and math is music. So all those numbers rolling around in the heads of Internet users would already be there from listening to your music.
