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. :-) Michael B On May 12, 2006, at 10:43 AM, NuPwrSoul wrote: > Brilliant... to get publicity?
