Artist Formerly Known as Prince Says the Internet Is "Over"

First he was Prince, then he was (whatever that symbol was) and now he is back to Prince I think.  Though I love his music, his intellect is somewhat in question.  His latest pronouncement is that, "The internet's completely over".

In an interview with the Daily Mirror the pop icon is shutting down his website and pulling his material from YouTube.  In the interview he stated, "the internet’s like MTV, at one time, MTV was hip, and suddenly it became outdated....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."

Well he is releasing a new album,and it was recorded digitally, so all those numbers, specifically 1's and 0's must be good for something!  Let's hope his dismissal of the internet isn't followed by the public's dismissal of Prince.  I like his music!
