To me this represents Prince's "dawn"

'Once the internet is a reality the music business is finished. There won't be any need for record companies. If I can send you my record direct, what's the point of having the business? I don't even have a manager any more. Would you want somebody living off your work?'

Prince in 1995

12 years later here we are and fucking good luck to him!!!

I made a similar comment a few days ago...
Not quite dawn yet tho as far I'm concerned. Kinda livin' in the 'twilight' zone.

Prince could always see it, if many others couldn't he's been at the gate all along.

heaven must be near
but it sure ain't here
yet

this board suffers from a fundamental misunderstanding of how the music industry works.

I am in the music industry. I wasn't talking about the quality of music it was more the independence I was getting at.
