    I'm a big fan, but Prince hasn't had a good album since he left Warner Bros. This sucks for the site members.

    This dude should spend more time making music, and less time worrying about his artistic control and/or integrity. I understood what his name change was about, but this is just slightly silly. Guys got control issues, not unlike Fogerty.

    Musicology was a really solid album. It won 2 grammys and got a bunch of noms.

    34 albums. Looks like plenty of albums to me.

    ???

    Fogerty's only control issues were not owning his own music and being sued for sounding too much like himself by a guy from his former record label.

    He's a rock star, and has been for years. Plus, he started off a little crazy. He was bound to go and lose his mind sooner or later.

    Still, I kinda feel for his fans. I mean, I'd honestly be pretty damn down if TFW, Seibertron, and Allspark got a similar order.
    Please explain to me what his name change was about, because I didn't think anyone, including Prince, understood what it was about.

    Prince and Warner Bros. weren't getting along. Here is a quote from Prince according to Wiki.

    I was going to ask that myself. I didn't get it at all.

    And good on Prince for standing up for his rights. I cannot see anything bad coming from alienating the core group of people who support you.

    If anyone cares, if you go back to this website, you can listen to a new song Prince sent to the site that seems to be a response to all the fans complaining. :lol

    Y'know, the more I think about this, if some guy whose music I dug so much that I had a web site about it treated me like this, I'd be over him and his tunes with a quickness.
