(Yahoo.com) "The Internet's completely over," Prince declared to England's Daily Mirror, sounding like he's ready to party not quite like it's 1999, but more like '79. "I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else [digitally]. They won't pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can't get it....All these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."
What a fucking idiot. I can't believe I didn't realize this before now. The internet is a thing of the past! Global communication? Instant information sharing? Those things are like rubbing sticks together. Thank GOD Prince is around to point this out, matter of fact just thank Prince...same entity.
Look, while some people might say "Prince is bananas," I think that if anyone can distinguish between a passing fad and a trend with staying power when he sees it is Prince. Think about it; doesn't everyone wear frilly blouses nowadays? Haven't most people you know replaced their given names with symbols? I mean NO ONE watches Dynasty anymore. And, c'mon people, "numbers?" Who needs em?
Just dance.
Accordingly I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom, and observed to him -- his name I need not mention; he was a politician whom I selected for examination -- and the result was as follows: When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking that he was not really wise, although he was thought wise by many, and wiser still by himself; and I went and tried to explain to him that he thought himself wise, but was not really wise; and the consequence was that he hated me, and his enmity was shared by several who were present and heard me. So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is -- for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows. I neither know nor think that I know. In this latter particular, then, I seem to have slightly the advantage of him.
