Prince is a Creep

Prince, or as I like to call him, the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince, covered Radiohead's "Creep" at the Coachella festival this year. Then, after he heard that the cover was up on YouTube and other video sharing websites, he went ahead and had his lawyers block the video. Even though it was not his to block to begin with. Even Radiohead, who were curious as to what the cover sounded like, were denied access to the performance, even though they are the rightful owners of the song. Below is an excerpt from a legitimate news blog about the whole ordeal

After word spread that Prince covered Radiohead's "Creep" at Coachella, the tens of thousands who couldn't be there ran to YouTube for a peek. Everyone was quickly denied - even Radiohead. In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince's performance from a text message and thought it was "hilarious." Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O'Brien, said the blocking had prevented him from seeing Prince's version of their song. "Really? He's blocked it?" asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. "Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment." Yorke added: "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our song."

In my opinion, Prince was just probably ashamed of the absolutely terrible job he did of butchering such an iconic song. What a fucking creep.

EDIT - Had to go find a new video of the song in question because the video was pulled from the original site. Prince, just give it a break pal. Go masturbate your guitar, or whatever it is Prince does.
