BEST: Prince Says The Internet Is Over!

Prince says NO to iTunes for new album 20Ten
Prince would say some next level stuff like the Internet is over, because he's freakin' Prince!

The pop legend declared the world wide web's demise in an interview with UK tabloid The Daily Mirror, which is giving away his new album 20Ten for free this week. The Purple One, who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's BET Awards, has yet to announce an American release date, but it certainly won't be over iTunes, or the Internet.

“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. 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 At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated.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.”

Of course, he couldn't be further from the truth, but Prince wouldn't be who he was if he didn't make comments like this. Plus, he has a pretty dodgy history with big business. Remember when he changed his name to that symbol in the 90's during a feud with Warner Bros. (who ironically share his distaste for YouTube)?
