Prince: "The Internet Is Over"

[audreyh1]

Prince needs to read "Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age."

Yeah, and I think Steve Jobs saved their butts (in that he finally gave them a viable mechanism to make money in the internet age). What does the author say about that?

I think the Black Eyed Peas best summarized the current emphasis on digital media integration for successful performing artists in their hit "Now Generation".

YouTube - Black Eyed Peas Now generation (live)

"
We are the now generation
We are the generation now
This is the now generation
This is the generation now

I want money
I want it want it want it



Fast internet
Stay connected in a jet
Wi-fi, podcast
Blasting out an SMS
Text me and I text you back
Check me on the iChat
I’m all about that h t t p
You’re a PC I’m a Mac
I want it..

Myspace in your space
Facebook is a new place
Dip divin’ socializin’
I’ll be out in cyber space
Google is my professor
Wikipedia checker
Checkin my account
Loggin in and loggin out
Baby I want it..
Now!"

I love Prince and a song of his probably comes up at least 3 times a day on my iPod random mixes. Artists are squirrely sorts, in case you missed that.
I like Little Red Corvette and my fave is Sarah, of course.

The author concurs, but not in exactly the same words.
