Musician Prince, has declared the “Internet over”, and has decided to release his new music on CD only:
“The internet is completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”
He went on to say: “The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated.
Prince also criticised the advent of gadgets and computers: “All these computers and digital gadgets are no good.
“They just fill your head with numbers and that cant be good for you.”
Prince has taken his war against the internet one step further by shutting down his official website.
Then that’s that, isn’t it? Man, the internet had a pretty great run there for a while, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose.
I’m going to miss the internet; I’m really going to miss you guys. I thought that maybe, just maybe, the internet might last a few more years, but I have no reason to doubt Prince, he really seems to know what he’s talking about.
Here’s the conversation my youngest legitimate son and I had when I tried to explain what Prince said about the internet:
“Prince Phillip said that?”
“No, not Prince Phillip, Prince.”
“Oooohhh, Prince Charles?”
“No son, Prince”
“Prince Harry?”
“Nup, Prince”
“Ahhhh, gotcha, dad, you’re talking about Prince Phillipos of Greece.”
“Nope”
“Prince Pieter Christiaan of Oranje-Nassau?”
“Nope”
“Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden?”
“Nope”
“Prince William?
“No”
“Prince Albert in a Can?”
“Yes son, Prince Albert in a Can. I’m talking about Prince Albert in a Can.”
“Wow, I’m really gonna miss the internet, dad.”
