'The internet's completely over', declares petulant Prince * The Register

Purple rock geezer Prince has declared that the internetosphere has had its day, as he prepares to release his latest album exclusively on CD through UK newspaper the Daily Mirror.

In a punctuation-light interview ahead of the unleashing of 20TEN in physical form, the Jehovah's Witness declared: "The internets completely over. I dont see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They wont pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they cant get it."



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

BAU! In the 50s & 60s the record company only got paid by the distributor if the artist had a second hit that the distributor wanted -- Mafia rules.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
