Does Prince Not Want Radio Play?

Prince has shown antiestablishment behaviors in life.

This leads me to the question if he at all wants radio play at all.

And for that matter, video televsion play.

Sometimes I wonder if Prince even knows what He wants.

It's right there for him to take, yet he seems to dance around like a jack or joker rather then a Prince.

Is this behavior odd?

Bewuler?

Anyone, care to factor in a guess?

Its that old test the industry thing.

Can an 80's top seller compete on the charts and if he does what does it really matter
and if he cant its not because of the music
theres other factors etc

He has proven enough but no one seems to care enough. And he doesnt fully divulge the stats so its up to us to figure out etc etc

I'm sure he'd like radio play of his current material, it's just that he doesn't seem prepared to do much about it. It doesn't seem like he wants to play the game and basically bribe radio programmers to put him on playlists, as is standard practice these days from what I've heard, and why should he? That is one system that needs a shake up.

Of course he wants airplay. ANY artist wants airplay and any artist who pretends that they don't is a liar. When you work hard on your music, you want it to be heard on the format that is accessible to the most people. Radio is the format which is most accessible to the average person.

He's right about that.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
