Well, he actually isn't "the artist formerly known as Prince" anymore, he went back to being Prince.

Right. Now he's the artist formerly known as popular.

The internet doesn't seem very "over" to me, but if he and his want to think so, maye we'll all see a little increase in connection speed.

I know that he can write songs and play a guitar but I'm unaware he can predict the future.

Oh DS, the man was already partying like it's 1999 in 1982. Prince is the only time traveler I know. Plus, he's prolly right, one day, something will replace the internet, don't know what yet or something will make it blow up like the current bank system kinda blew up. I just don't think it is passé now, but who knows, maybe Prince traveled to the year 2025 and saw nobody used the internet (and if he still has time travel jet lag, he still thinks he is in 2025 now). I sure hope he did, it would make me less anxious on December 31st 2011.

It's not new years 2012 that the shit hits the fan. It's winter solstice 2012. Sheesh, learn how to read a Mayan calender will you?

Yeah the Mayan calendar isnt about the world being over but a new rhythm of time, a new sort of calender, another calendar beginning. It is actually really exciting and is going to be cool and beneficial to us and the planets. Fear not chirrens da world still be here. Some stupid shit might not be but we will be, the Earth will be.

Prince is a Living Doll! I adore him. He is not mad as a sack of frogs, he is funkier than a sack of grand daddies (his words). He is a good marketer. He changed his name to get out of a contract limiting him to one or two albums per year. That is why he wrote "SLAVE" on his face when he was out so people could know the biz end of the music biz is a lot of total shit. He has sang/wrote songs about it and voiced his ever-lovin opinion about it.

I was lucky enough to work for the Adorable One and he is not a pompous ass at all, he is a wee monkey, adorable, funny, sweet, a hard worker, difficult taskmaster, but that is good he pushes the limits quite a bit. All in all a cool guy.

I remember when I first saw a picture of him back in the day, he was on the cover of Rolling Stone and I was in a book store waiting in line to pay and there he was. I thought he was from India. I thought, "Holy wow, our world is super cool if we let a guy from India be a rockstar"

My sister gave me a cassette of the 1999 album and I was in awe of this guy who could scream and sing about God and sex and be so freaking funky.

I saw him on tv at my folks place, I didnt have a tv at the time and he was singing Little Red Corvette. I thought he was tall like Jimi Hendrix. I thought he was super cool, I love the way he can dance.

Under the Cherry Moon is a cool movie even though it got seriously panned I loved it.

Prince Rocks.

I dont like Twitter or Facebook at all, they creep me out fro some reason so if the internet is over I wont care, as long as we still have Prince music coming out, I would rather have that any day.

Yay Prince!

He is a washed up diva.

Look at his pic. He ages just like the rest of us. Maybe worse.

I view this as a lame PR stunt- meant to boost his fledling career. He has what- 1 or 2 good songs. The rest of it is noise. Acts from the 80s a dime a dozen- many have old garage band gig stuff- but nearly all have grown up and gave it up.

I would never notice if he was dead. He is a washed up 80s diva- take a number.

I think Guitar Band may actually inspire people to do that.

Most will probably fail miserably after their experiences with Guitar Band or Rock Band or whatever video game they are playing. I am awful at those games and I think it is because I actually play guitar. When I finally got to play Rock Band (I think that was it) I was so disappointed thinking "is that it?". I think the games are neat if you enjoy them and they do offer exposure for the youngsters to some music they might not otherwise get to hear but I doubt the folks at Gibson and Fender are seeing ramped up sales due to Guitar Band.

To the OP: Never fear. Kenny G is here and he says the internet is alive and well.

Who is whining because "1999" is so last century.

Is this like..."when EF Hutton speaks"? When did this guy gain such importance? I guess because I grew up with the likes of Hendrix, Joplin and Dylan, it's hard for me to wrap my brain around the greatness of a person who can't seem to settle on a name. Can he write songs? Sure. Are they classified as "great", depends on who you talk to. Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, they also write songs, as did the Beatles. I would be quicker to label their songs as worthwhile or even great, before I slap a sticker on Prince of equal quality. Just my personal take.

As for his prediction, I think we have not yet tapped into the internet and utilized it for all it's capabilities. I don't see it as having gone the way of PenPals, not yet.
