Of course they're dismayed; they're losing money.

I heard about this a month ago and thought even then the story was old. still, though, prince can hold sh** down like a muthaf**kin gangsta, G. If I was gay, I would probably stalk the man. Anybody heard "Black Sweat" off his last album? talk about eargasms!

Prince is without a doubt the best guitar player alive right now.. no kidding... And I mean better than Clapton, or even Buddy Guy or Yngwie all put together.. I saw him do a 20 min solo live in a little private show and he f*cking blew my mind.. seriously.. check out his latest track 'guitar'

I love Prince.

Listening to his music is one of my guilty pleasures - and usually I just can't resist dancing a little.

Good for Prince, though, piss off the retailers!

I don't want 2 take my clothes off,
But I do.
I don't want 2 turn nobody on,
Unless it's U.
I don't want 2 dance 2 hard, baby
But this is a groove (yes it is! Fonky)
I'm hot, and I don't care who knows it,
I got a job 2 do (think I ain't, come on)

I'm workin', ooooooh,
workin' up a black sweat,
aaaaaaghhh!!!,
I'm workin', oooooooooooohhh,
workin' up a black sweat,
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhh!!!!!!

and in my own opinion, (sorry to the artist) i would say the best guitarist out today is keller williams. no competition.

Some people equate pop music exclusively with low taste... NOT ALWAYS!! Prince is as much, if not more of a personality than the late, bless'd, Little Richard (he did die, right?) regardless... and as much of a virtuoso and showman as Hendrix. I would LOVE to see (or read) a bio of the man. MUST be a fascinating life!

I HATED that song.

I'm sorry
