It's an interview and fans wouldn't have to agree or disagree w/ what he means or what he doesn't mean in every interview if he would clearly articulate what he means. I'm not going to go back and forth bcuz I called it. I knew someone would reply and try to tell us what Prince "actually means" and say "it's a play on words". Mindflux I don't know how you know "the entire reason the word "revolution" was put in quotation marks". You must be a longtime fan. Sorry but I have to laugh at you providing Wiki info on Quotation marks. ...bing ain't lie. | |

You clearly don't know what articulate means. Also, you are clearly not occupying the same universe as everyone else in this thread. God bless and good day. | |

How the hell do you people extract that from a response to a question about Mp3's, 24-bit files and digital compression? Change it one more time.. | |

How the hell do you people extract that from a response to a question about Mp3's, 24-bit files and digital compression? Precisely! He's talking about mediums for listening to music, its that simple. But, if people want to run wild with their imaginations, then so be it. umanbing - you can laugh all you like, but I'm not the one speculating wildly on "what prince meant to say" - you're the one doing that! You're the one making unsubstantiated claims. You're the one spinning off on a tangent from recording formats to dream reunions! And the reason his comments need "intepreting" (although, the difference here is that I'm "explaining" based on the facts (ie - what is written!) as opposed to your "interpreting", based on nothing more than your imagination running loose!) is precisely because of delusional rants like yours that are way off the mark. You've stuck your neck out even further and said that he deliberately chose this format to write the word revolution, cos he needs all the help he can get, which is frankly laughable. And, because you can't see the wood for the trees, I explained quotation marks to the other poster because they said that their use was to indicate a proper name - which, it isn't! It is blatantly clear that their use is to show that he's using them to differentiate from what Prince fans normally associate the word revolution with - a trap you have fallen in to. Its me substantiating my argument - something you are unable to do! But, speculate away and get unnecessariy angry when NONE of the Revolution perform as you are now falsely expecting! Jeez..... ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

I totally read the "revolution" sentence differently. I thought he was just being humorous about how records turn on the turntable--you know, revolve? | |

Nobody is disputing that but why would he put revolution in quotes then? Doesn't make sense as a joke and especially doesn't make sense with quotes. It was a knowing wink at his past and nothing more. | |

and let's not forget this was a man who ignored and fought for his creative freedom all them years when others said don't do this or edit that down some. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

Again, there's a reason that I never visit Music and More. I hate both the Prince worshippers and the whiners. On your first point about never visiting this forum: you just did! On your second point: why does it surprise you that there are prince worshippers on prince.org? | |

If a sports team are said to be a well oiled machine it means they are a good team. That's all I think he meant about the NPG, that they are playing well as a unit. | |

Yes, he wrote b4 about race car drivers and their pants, and their connection to Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

I don't think Prince knows the definition of the word pathological. He has a large repertoire but it's "pathological" to rehearse 300 songs if his "well-oiled machine" are only going to perform less than 50 of the same songs. His set lists always include covers of other artist's songs. ...bing ain't lie. | |

Cool interview. I like the personal style of it and the relaxed attitude.
Not a lot of info tho'. Primarily meant to sell tickets to his show, but still a different tone than last year.
I'm not going into all this nonsense about what people THINK he meant with "revolution" nor into all the personal issues some people are displaying on this thread.
I know for a fact that Prince and the Revolution need to sit together again, to come to new agreements on their legal positions.
And I wish them all well, hoping that any musical gathering would bring them closer together.

As a metaphor, "well oiled machine" pretty much speaks for itsef.

Before the advent of recorded music? What is he planning to do, go door to door like Christmas carollers every time someone wants to hear a song? Andy is a four letter word. | |

Maybe he's going to sell sheet music so that people can play his songs in their home parlors. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. | |

:falloff: I know....I read that like 3 times just trying to figure out wtf he could mean. Only thing I can come up with is live shows...and I supposed quite possibly selling sheet music at the shows so people can go home and recreate it! LOL! "not a fan" ![]() | |

Here's some pre-recording ideas that Prince could use to get the musical "word" out:
