Dutch paper de Volskrant interviews Prince

In a dutch paper 'de Volskrant'is an intervieuw with Prince.
I think it's from the week he was in New York.
I'm not very good in translating, so I hope someone else
will do the whole article. p
The intervieuwer asks if 'emancipation' wasn't the beginning
of the lack of interest in Prince. Great question. His
answer, as usual, goes about the financial side. The
intervieuwer suggests that Prince only makes albums and
goes on tour to make money.

Prince:'Shame on you, I should be very angry.'


Update: GeRRy (ijssel@denhaag.org) adds:


There is a big interview with 0(+> in the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. Among other thing he complains about the trade in bootlegs. He also states that he doesn't make records to get more money from his fans ("I should be angry when you say that"). He doesn't like modern day r&b ("in ten years nobody will know how to play a good guitarsolo"). He want's to follow the succes of Santana. "I hope to sell as much Rave albums as Purple Rain. Even if I only sell one-forth I will make twice as much money".
