In an interview, with a British newspaper called The Daily Mirror, Prince declared the internet “dead”. The legendary performer, who is prone to making completely befuddling public statements, stated that the reason he wasn’t making his new music available via digital venues is because “all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you”. So says the man who has at various times, sued internet fan sites […]

Blerd Briefs: Mariah, Xtina & That Purple Guy
Don’t you hate it when you go on a website and all they do is direct you to another website? Yeah, me too. So go on Popdose and check out my review commemorating the 20th anniversary of the debut album by Mariah Carey. Hard to believe it’s been two decades since MC stepped on the scene.

Lindsay took a trip to Cannes to prevent her upcoming movie, and conveniently misplaced her […]
Blerd Briefs: Immigration, The NBA & Bret Michaels
I remember reading an interview (I think it was in Vibe magazine) with Meshell Ndegeocello, where she said something to the effect of “Mexicans are the new niggers”, and I had to agree with her. It’s not politically correct to give brothers and sisters the “you don’t belong here” treatment anymore, so the easy targets are Mexicans and Middle Easterners. The state of Arizona (which has a very high Mexican immigrant population) just passed into law a bill that requires […]
Blerd Briefs: The NBA, Tiger Woods & Kevin Smith
I was a pretty hardcore NBA fan back in the day-coming up during the glory era of Bird, Magic and MJ. These days, I catch a game when I can, but I’m not as much of a fanatic as I used to be. Hell, I missed the All-Star game this year for the first time in ages-although I was very happy that my man David Lee made the Eastern Conference squad. Anyway, back when I was in high school, my […]
