The internet’s 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. The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.

I like Prince’s take on this. It’s silly, but opting out is perfectly legitimate. Staying on the Internet and insisting that it conform to the way you imagine it ought to work, this way lies madness.
Would be cool if he stuck to his analog guns and went all-vinyl, though. CDs are just more numbers in your ear.
