Hey I work in a K-5 school. the kids know who Prince is and it is not
because of any lessons taught my me... I think that MTV was their
teacher for that one.
Anyway, why do we all get upset because of Prince's business
practices? If he sells a million in a week or 20 in a week, what
matters is how we (as individuals) react to the songs and music. Who
cares about the mass population? Prince never has, why should he
start now?
PS: OK I exaggerated slightly when I said that "the kids know who
Prince is". What I should have said is that I was surprised to see
that so many children who know who Prince is.
