It's funny you should say that, i might spend my £30 quid on a photographic 'art' book, they're all the rage in Borders, it just maybe not Prince's. whistling

I really don't understand where you are coming from here....I do not understand why a web-site about Prince...and what 76 percent of the population between 9am and 5pm are surfing the web for...have anything to do with eachother.

When did Prince say he wouldn't use the internet due to pornography? You got an article/source/quotes on that?

And be it a true or false rumor, I have heard that percentage to be a WorldWide problem.

yep, recently on HQ, there was a link to Sam Jennings [i may be horribly wrong here] where he refers to 'a friend' going into a lot of detail about why he is no longer interested in the net. Looks like P feels that he doesn't wnat to be part of a system that has been open to such abuse. If I had the time I'd find the link but I am sure some kind soul on here will assist.

I feel thats nothing more than a rumour unless you show the source you got it from.
Prince reportadly said all ''he wants is to provide fans with exclusive music and images entirely free of charge, and bypassing unofficial and unauthorised phoney fan sites that exploit both consumers and artists.The action taken earlier this week was not to shut down fansites, or control comment in any way. The issue was simply to do with in regards to copyright and trademark of images and only images,But hopefully around september he'll bring back up an official site

Prince is not pornographic...Prince tells the story of lust the way it is set on the table of this world...as an appetizer...There is a lot more on the Prince plate than songs that represent images we can create ourselves without Prince's help.

Pornography offers nothing but the act of two people engaged in an act. It has nothing to do with poetry or love, spirituality or committment. It is a talent we all naturally perform for self gratification...for temporary reasons or for a lifetime...The truth shows in the condition you are living in.

Co-Sign I think the lack of website has more to do with the copyright issue with NPG Books. The Amara (I may have spelled this wrong) as been registered as a domain name so he may have something in the works for the next project.

He'd better come back with something soon. He's gotta promote that new book, a lot of his fans have left him. I love Prince but i do wish he would get off that high horse. lol
