This is my favorite image of Prince: His musical protest against the exploitive tactics of Warner Bros in 1995. His symbolic statement against the record company spoke volumes to the manner in which the industry not only suppresses creativity but tries to control the financial success of artists. As a fan of “Unsung” I am convinced that the blood-sucking music industry is about the worst component in the capitalist world. The price artists pay for success is unfathomable.
Royalty is Prince-RIP, you musical genius. Thanks for your love and your music.
