In his defense he did try to shelve that release Black Album style but Daily Mirror refused. He was successful in ensuring it didn't get released globally anyway. Shame. I liked the album. Some superb tracks on there. In fact it probably seemed weaker than it was because it was free. |

I don't know about prince, but my great-grandmother never heard the word internet. She might've had a library card. I don't really know, though. I was just a kid while she was still alive and I hardly knew her. She wasn't really my great-grandmother, anyway, as my father was adopted and wasn't a blood relative of his parents. There might be more similarity between Prince habits and MJ's, than between Prince and your grandmother.
Very doubtful. Prince and MJ were opposites in many ways, this is likely another element to throw on the pile.
Not to mention Prince was talking about "Does Not Compute" in 1982, was talking about online dating in 1996, opened the first online webstore to sell independent releases in 1998, and declared the internet "over" in like 2005.
I really don't even get why you're crowbarring in MJ trivial pursuit factoids outside of your normal schtick in the non-Prince forum to be honest...
I'm not sure about that bolded part... Todd rundgren also gave access to his work via PatroNet in 1998. I don't know if he preceded Prince. Either way, they were both forward thinkers in that regard. |

I did, too. Shame that we were supposed to get this album after that without truncated songs that would be sold in stores, but we didn't. It's also a shame that here old fans come to complain about the fucked up handling of Prince's estate instead of celebrating his great music. Long live the boot legs! Glad I bought a bunch from Europe on CD while you still could and the dripping downloads that used to show up once in a while. You want to celebrate Prince? Listen to your downloads or boots!
