Prince Is Finished Recording Until the Internet Is Tamed

"The industry changed," he told the Guardian. "We made money [online] before piracy was real crazy. Nobody's making money now except phone companies, Apple and Google. I'm supposed to go to the White House to talk about copyright protection. It's like the gold rush out there. Or a carjacking. There's no boundaries. I've been in meetings and they'll tell you, Prince, you don't understand, it's dog-eat-dog out there. So I'll just hold off on recording."
So that's all folks. After recording over 25 studio albums, Prince is finished (for now) which means we'll be seeing a lot more of him on stage -- unless he figures a way to outsmart that dastardly Internet. Head over to the Guardian to read the whole interview.

I used to get hooked in by the title 'Rockstar" or "Rock icon" only to find that are either a nobody or a pop star, now I look just for the humor and once again AOL you put a big grin on my face in calling Prince a rock icon. He is a pop star not a rock icon. Keep the smiles comming AOL.

So it's all about the money? Real artists make music because they love it. Well it's his choice, don't record ... it's fine with me !
