Prince has NOT retired. You're confusing him with Michael Jackson again.

The recent quality of his music has made it clear to me that he has retired since the year 2000 and music is just a hobby for him now.

Oh come on. I don't agree with you.

Still prolific!

Thanks Prince!

Tell that to all the people promised the great website for $77. Prince's people said "we know it's steep in price, but it'll be worth it" (paraphrase) in emails.

Not sure about him still making great music. His last great YEAR of music was 1996, aside from Crystal Ball (just for all the outtakes on it, which was really just one disk of stuff ultimately; fuck the remixes, The Truth, and Kamafucktra.)

Is Prince in his retirement years? I guess you could look at it that way; that he's taking a lower profile on things. Sure he generates a lot of press when an album comes out, but we've seen with 3121, Planet Earth and Lotus that it dies down quite quickly. (Despite his 21 nights on London, he still performed PE material oh-so-rarely.) I think Prince had ADHD, which never makes me believe he's fully retired, but he's also not fully in it to win it. Maybe semi-retired is a better word for now. I think he's just biding his time until he starts to get his masters back and can burn them in the backyard of Paisley Park.

"The Retirement Experience"



He is 51 ladies and gentleman...he's getting up there...not sure I wanna hear an old man singing about sex anyways...

GOOD FOR HIM
HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS

I thought when u retire from a job...you stop doing the duties of that job. He didnt look retired to me on Leno..Ellen..and i dont think he'll look retired in Montreux.Slowing down doesnt equate to actually retirement does it?..I'll look in my AARP book and check

Awesome..will that be the name of the next album?

SavonOsco said:

Prince will never retire, once the bling and ching get low he'll conjure up another plot/album to exploit and attempt at charging you all $77.00 or $99.49 or some sort of weird high priced number at an attempt at a 'comeback'!

You all should be ashamed you fell for the $77.00 rape.

GMAN

STOP.....not true.....PRINCE will bring it to us soon.

Please make this go away

LOL! Ok, I back down...a little. Outside of the Musicology album, most of his post 2000 stuff seems like he was just throwing stuff at the wall to see what would stick. How's that?

Pension is such a masculine word, isn't it?

I was having green tea and biscotti at Starbucks with our boy Prince and he said, "I'm ready to buy 3 cats and a condo in Boca Raton." I spilled my tea and said, "Sugar, honey, ice tea, but what about your fans?" He said, "They'll always have Jughead!"

Oh, ok...so you mean he'll have to just stand there and play then, huh? Well ok then... since he's more than a song and dance man then that should be ok, right?

SavonOsco said:

He can't sit still long enough to even process that thought.
