"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid ... I realize now that Prince wasn’t paranoid, he was prescient."

@anildash Prince is always right. Not joking: I always check to see whether he's weighed in on an issue.

@anildash I thought about this exchange. I used "miss" to mean "skip" or "not pay attention to". People who haven't lived in NYC will not get that one. It is not a lament.
