Is Prince the next Metalica?

Metalica had the whole fan backlash with the Napster thing.

Is Prince headed the same road with asking fams 2 return their CD's?

in fact, just like he spearheaded all the anti-label movement, he spearheaded the piss your fans off movement as well.

THey both released a "Black" album. Coincidence?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Anxiety

Sadly, I don't think people care enough to make a big deal out of Prince's latest stunt. Metallica commands a lot of media attention still, and they aren't notorious for a history of screwball comments and incidents.

I think Prince cried wolf for the last time a long time ago. Nobody's listening anymore. Even the hardcore fans are taking his crusades du jour with a grain of salt anymore.

It's a shame, because he's done a lot for pioneering alternatives to working within the music industry - he could be seen in such a more dignified light - but he doesn't WANT that.
