Prince showed up with the word “Slave” on his face because he felt like a toy owned by a big company. He did not do this to be mean. He did it because he loved his songs more than anything else in the whole world. This Valentine’s Day, we remember how he fought to own his work so he could be free.
He sat with Jay Leno and used easy math to show how stars get a bad deal. He said if a record costs $18 and you sell a million copies, you should have $10,000,000. He talked about Mariah Carey to show that even big stars were not getting their fair share. He wanted the whole world to know the truth about how music companies work.
