just checked out a website called topix (a blog site )Prince freeby discussion ...very interesting ...every comment from the ordinary person on the street seem to support Prince's movre as a brilliant one ,fans & non-fans alike.
way to go Prince ...keep gravy from the fat cats ...while gaining many new fans ...tell me who is going to get a free cd and not listen to it ? and if you do listen ,then there will be at least something there you will like ...then you will of course be curious and want to hear more and then ....
Prince took a page out of the crack dealers book ...give em a freebie,get em hooked then you got them.

oops that's the plan. That's what grown folks do

I've had two texts from friends today, telling me to buy the Mail On Sunday tomorrow (as if I didn't already know). Neither friend is a Prince fan but the marketing buzz compelled them to talk about it.

...you know whats amazing?record stores are going to buy up multiple copies of the mail then sell the cd back in the stores full price for a big profit...I would!!!
the regular man ,instead of buying one he too will buy more and give to a friend or relative overseas...this will be very positive for Prince's.
His next Album will sell itself with litle or no marketing.

"What's Mine is Yours" by MxPx (Mike Herrera)
(written to some "fat cat" in the industry)

As soon as I figured out that you wouldn't be there
As soon as I figured out that you didn't care
I try to do what's right; I try to keep an open mind
I try to do what's right, but you're so unkind

You don't own me
They've abolished slavery
And I can't wait for the day when things turn around
You don't own me,
They've abolished slavery
There's consequences for your actions
I know cause I'm paying for mine now

The piece of paper you have says that you can get into my pocket
But you can't get inside my heart or inside my head
Money doesn't mean to me what it obviously means to you
Cause I would never steal from kids that dont have a clue

You don't own me
They've abolished slavery
And I can't wait for the day when things turn around
You don't own me,
They've abolished slavery
There's consequences for your actions
I know cause I'm paying for mine now
