> "prince.org crashed.... The site is a remnant of an earlier Internet, with an ancient design not built for the speed and density of the modern online world."
The author is unaware these "ancient designs" are lightweight and actually better suited to speed and traffic. The site crashing has nothing to do with an outdated design and everything to do with the hosting plan the site is on.
The big story (IMHO) not mentioned here, is all the unheard and unreleased songs and videos he locked away in his vault. In a fascinating and hilarious story told by Kevin Smith, he describes how he briefly worked with Prince on a documentary. Smith met a Producer for Prince who told him she'd produced more than 50 Prince music videos of songs nobody has heard and videos nobody has seen. All locked away in the vault. I really like how crazy this is, and hope they are released.
The story told by Smith is about 30 min long, but worth it if you're curious about how odd Prince was, and up for a laugh: https://youtu.be/8LhcParuzpc
If you just want to see a really good example of Prince doing what he does best, with awesome female drummer and rockin band, turn this up loud: https://youtu.be/nyyS0FSztKc
