"I didn’t know I was this geeky until I discovered the online world through my office’s 2400 baud modem back in ’93." Prince shows music world how it’s done
From Rocky Mountain news, an article about Prince and how he’s taken control of his album sales. The article is long and there’s a lot to be quoted. But perhaps for any artist this is the punchline:
• 666,666: The number of CDs Prince had to sell under his old record deal to make $1 million.
• 142,857: The number of CDs Prince has to sell now, on his own, to make $1 million
But I can’t leave it at that. On his becoming a Jehova’s Witness, Prince – who’s just a lot more down to earth than you thought – says he is intested in spirituality and answers, not strange ceremonies or theories:
“I’m very practical. You go Trekkie on me, I gotta go.”
