No worries, I've put the link in now! It is a bit like watching paint dry on the official site. wink

If "interesting" means "utter bollocks", then you're right.

http://www.npgmusicclub.c...ieves.html

While you're reading this, keep in mind that this is on the site of someone who wanted (wants?) to abolish all fan websites and magazines (and when they didn't want to cease voluntarily, he started threatening them and finally even sued them). Pot, kettle, etc...

And there's more:



> As a simple xample of how little music is valued as an art 4m by the

> proportion is actually readily available 2 music lovers?



Question to Prince: how much of the music originally released through Paisley Park Records or NPG Records is "readily available 2 music lovers"? How much of the music you released since 1995?

And the "I want a part of AOL's profits because they make that profit because people use the internet to exchange MP3s including MP3s of my music" is beyond ridiculous.

Princebonics are cool for a song, but used in a full article, it's unbearable.

You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.
