AP Quickie: You have to pay to watch Prince's New Video

On the heels of presenting an award at last night's Grammys, Prince released a new video, but you have to pay to watch it on his website prince2013.com ($1.77).
What do you guys think? Is this a business model that can work? Or are those times over? Let us know in the comments.

Comment by Citrus Invictus on February 11, 2013 at 7:05pm: It's not a model... It's to prove a point. He still has fans. Prince is a BLACK ROCK/FUNK/SOUL GOD, who doesn't get the credit he deserves. The same fate of many. He's the last of an era of music from the 70s/80s sound. I'm def paying.
