Sometime you do wonder if there is anything of any value to people outside money.

makes you realise just why prince hated the music 'business', so many bloody rules, sub rules, conditions etc...an artist just wants to get on & make music, keep it simple, sell it as directly as possible & make the lions share of the profit. He achieved a great deal of independence & inspired other artists to strive to do the same.

It's actually great to hear artist both old & new acknowledge the help he gave them behind the scenes.
