In 1995, 2,500 Nigerians died during a meningitis outbreak after they were inoculated with fake vaccines believed to have come from India.

Why else would he have launched his Musicology download store, an iTunes rip-off that makes his music available to the agnostic, non-NPG fan for 99 a song? Why would he be touring with the come-on--aimed at all those slow-dancing Purple Rain thirtysomethings--that this may be the last time he will play the hits? Why would he have released Musicology both on his website and in record stores (on April 20) through a distribution deal with megacorp Sony...
