Prince isn't fighting for (just) himself tho... He's making inroads for all of us artists who find it almost impossible to work with the way the music industry is right now. The kind of stuff he's been doing these past few years will be a big help toward ushering in the next music generation.

From 3121.com:
A spokesman said, "Prince feels that charts are just music industry constructions and have little or no relevance to fans or even artists today. Prince's only aim is to get music direct to those that want to hear it. Prince famously took a stand against Warner Records in the nineties when he went on strike and appeared with the word 'slave' drawn on his cheek. Subsequently, he regained control of the publishing rights to his work, and broke down the existing system through his innovation."

Prince, ever a creative genius and forward thinker by nature, has set a new standard with his latest plans in the UK for "Planet Earth." He continues to define on every level what it means to be an artist.


99.9% of all musicians have ALWAYS worked without ANY record label support.


true -- record labels are a HUGE obstacle to 'most any artist -- much props to those who can in fact survive despite the industry, and mega props to those who are helping to redefine (and have redefined!) the music industry

I agree. It's all about change....redefining the music industry. P is saying you won't feed and feast off my music anymore. Brilliance on Prince's part. P was way ahead of the game long time ago when he out smarted WB and bought Paisley Park Studios....P has been in control of his music from day 1. My best to Prince.
