Ok, Let's see: 1) We're all too busy drooling over him, talking a load of rubbish, and chatting to our buddies? 2) He's talking about himself in the third person 3) He doesn't use Princebonetics (or whatever they're called!) 4) We don't really believe he posts here I can't think of anything else at the moment..... | |

raveun2thejoyfantastic said: Xcerpt from the Yahoo! Internet Life interview of Prince from 2001:
Y-Life: Will you still release albums from now on, or stay digital? Prince: I'll probably release albums, but what's cool about the club is that the shows and the tracks change every month. So if you go in every month, you'll get to storehouse all these tracks, and by the end of the year you'll have enough for maybe three albums. I could probably release five to seven albums every year if I wanted to-polished stuff that I'm really happy with. But the market can't deal with that. So this seemed like a natural alternative. Y-Life: How did you first get online? Prince: Instantly, the thing that attracted me to the Net was the idea that I could reach a lot of people without going through a matrix. Unfortunately, the Net is a reflection of what's going on in the world. School shootings, things like that. It reflects that kind of violence. That's why I don't live there. Here in Paisley, it's a very isolated environment. You can't just see all that pornography and deceit and mendacity all the time. That's what the world has become. There are pockets of beauty out there still, though. Y-Life: Where are those pockets of beauty on the Net? Prince: That's a tough one. I'm not one to judge what is beautiful. I do know what isn't beautiful. Everybody's a critic. People are flaming each other without any knowledge of the effect it has on others—the kind of physical, psychological effect it has on them. Y-Life: Have you been in chatrooms devoted to your work? Prince: A couple of times—not much. When I first started, I tried one time to unify a group splintered by whether I was still "funky" or not. That question still goes on, obviously. But what ended up happening was that I got a webmaster out of it—Sam Jennings, who runs the NPG site out of Chicago. But I guess what I find beautiful on the Internet is wherever I find agreement. That's beautiful even to people who are full of hate. Y-Life: Don't we need disagreement before we can have agreement? Prince: I believe people of like mind will agree. This'll sound like a cliché, but people need to be under a creator. Clive Davis doesn't want to take any direction from me. Should he? You tell me. Is this the music industry? All the musicians, please stand up. Miles Davis and Duke Ellington went to school for music. They learned how to create; they became seasoned performers. Now they pop these kids out like it's nothing. And the record executives say, "We love music." You love music? You can't even tap your foot on the two and the four. Y-Life: There was a quote on your site recently, saying "Beyoncé can sang!" Was that from you? Prince: The tidbits of information on the site don't come from me. Sometimes people will ask me a question, and I'll give them a quote. My end is shipping out the music. But it's evident that Destiny's Child is an industry act. We want to keep the focus on why they're successful. And that's because of the people in the group, not because of the label and the marketing. That's why you'll see tidbits like that, about Beyoncé and other performers. The people that are here at Paisley with me—we're all like-minded. They stay free—and free means free. And that's what the club is about. It's a haven for anybody who's got their music and is free. We're all very down-to-earth. No matter what the press likes to write about me. Y-Life: So what kind of Web sites do you like to visit? Prince: I go to the educational ones. I like to study history—especially Egyptian history. I don't want to start endorsing any sites right now, but I like the ones that go back the furthest. 'Cause I'm interested in how we got in this predicament in the first place. You can talk about symptoms all day long. But I like to talk about solutions. That's cool. Prince is into African/Egyptian history, like me. As far as the question, in the interview, of whether or not Prince is still funky, I say "No, Prince. You are not funky, anymore!!!!!" | |

Years ago, there was a presenter on 'This Morning' in the UK, he was standing outside Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit's house, waiting for them to come out (some big story, can't remember what now). Well, they walked right up to this presenter to talk - like a surprise, and he turned round and said "Excuse me, I'm TRYING to present a show here ". So they just looked completely bewildered and turned around and walked away The people in the studio were like "em... it's THEM! they're behind you! Hello!" | |

Jeffiner said: Stereo said: What you trying to tell us now Stereo? You're more cryptic than Prince I was about to say the same thing. Maybe it is Prince... I was reading the previous posts by stereo: i can think of a few reasons why we dont notice him when he posts.
...and I think I have an answer to that question... we don't notice when he posts because, he's always in disguise. Either he's posing as a female (which we don't expect) or as some sort of electronic device (such as cell phone, pager, or STEREO)! | |
