From my archives...Prince's broadcast: "The dawn nears... it's up 2 u!" Prince published this around the same time as the interview with his fans...circa 1998. It's a little creepy in retrospect:
ALL RELATED SITES SHOULD UNITE 2 B COME 1 MASSIVE NETWORK OF LOVE AND MUSIC... THE IDOLATRY MUST CEASE...IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, ALL MUSIC WILL B DOWNLOADED DIRECTLY ON2 YOUR COMPUTER! AS WE ALL ANXIOUSLY WAIT THE RELEASE OF THE CRYSTAL BALL, HOW COOL WOULD IT HAVE BEEN 2 RECEIVE IT A DAY AFTER THE NOTICE OF ITS AVAILABILITY? WELL, WITHIN A MATTER OF MONTHS, THIS WILL B COME A REALITY...AS THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES, SO MUST R MINDSETS! LET'S TEAR DOWN THE WALLS THAT SEPARATE US AND UNITE UNDER 1 BANNER... THE NEW POWER GENERATION IS GROWING WITH A GOAL (DESTINY) 2 B COME 1 WITH THE UNIVERSE... 2 HELP IN THIS EFFORT, PETITION ALL RELATED SITES 2 JOIN R CAUSE... DIG IF U WILL THIS PICTURE--- 2MORROW U AWAKEN... IN YOUR MAIL IS A PACKAGE U ORDERED DAYS AGO, U OPEN IT AND OUT ROLLS THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST, ITS COVER WAS DESIGNED BY U AND YOUR FRIENDS... THE MUSIC THEREIN CONTAINS LYRICS U DON'T READILY COMPREHEND BUT THERE IS A WEBSITE ADDRESS U CAN ACCESS 2 PROOFREAD ALL MATERIAL U JUST RECEIVED... U ACCESS IT AND UP ON YOUR SCREEN COMES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, WELL-THOUGHT-OUT DESIGNS U HAVE EVER SEEN AND U R PRIVILEGED 2 IN4MATION U NEVER IMAGINED POSSIBLE. WHEN THE IDOLATRY CEASES AND WE ALL B COME THE 1 STAR, THERE WILL B NO SEPARATION AND LOVE AND MUSIC WILL REIGN. THE DAWN IS NEAR...IT IS UP 2 U! Fear is the mind-killer. | |

I'm afraid 0(+> would be a little upset with the org on the idolatry front. . .see the Prince: Music and More forum. . . | |

I suspect Prince was lured in by the altruist doctine, popular in christianity and elsewhere, which, while preaching selflessness, inevitably leads to totalitarian control. Fear is the mind-killer. | |

Notice how he stresses the music being available instantly the day after it's announced.
That's the biggest goddamn joke of the whole ride! LOL. When you look at these kinds of official comments from Prince's camp, its pretty clear why some people are pissed with the way NPGMC ultimately materialized. | |
