It's obvious to most of the population on the
planet that the man once known as Prince has for many years now, been, in
polite terms, wackier than a Jerry Lewis/Dean Martin movie
(just not as funny). I all but quit
listening to the man after he released Around the World in
a Day. I became convinced he should be commited when he
changed his name to an unreferenced symbol. But he's a
married man now, and the possibility that his wife has
bitch-slapped some sense into the purple one is begining
to show.
Like many other artists, Prince does have a web site which he uses to
communicate with the few remaining fans that haven't been frightened off by
his lunatic mix of mysticism, sex, funk, and mescallin cocktails with jesus at
lunchtime. Lately, Roger has used this as a platform to do somthing he hasn't
done in many years - say somthing incredibly intelligent, original, and needed.
On his web site, Prince has issued a press release/article entiled "4 The Love
Of Music", in which he defends Napster, music lovers (as opposed to consumers),
and slams major labels and promotes true artistic freedom for all. Sure, he's
still using numbers for words (which is about as annoying as a drunken
middle-aged divorcee' giving advice on your relationship), but what he has to
say here should really be read by anyone who creates music, or understands the
power of music.
