Prince is cool with selfies—he even shared one he took himself using a camera and a mirror. He's just not cool with cell phones at Paisley Park because people can't stop taking pics of—well, him. "We ban their usage anywhere around Us," he told the Huffington Post via his publicist, "because We're allergic 2 lithium and 'Everybodyelsies.'" (Billboard)

Though Taylor Swift plays pop music instead of country these days, some high-profile country musicians are following her lead and pulling their music from Spotify. The wildly popular country star Jason Aldean has pulled his latest album from the service, saying "I want everyone who is involved in making my music to be paid fairly." Justin Moore and Brantley Gilbert—who are both, not coincidentally, signed to Swift's Big Machine label—have pulled their latest music too, while Garth Brooks just launched his own streaming service. Meanwhile, the head of Big Machine countered Spotify's statement that Swift was on track to earn $6 million from the service this year, saying that she earned less than $500,000 before pulling her catalog.

In the face of this turmoil surrounding one of their competitors, streaming leader YouTube is set to roll out a paid music streaming service: starting on Monday, you'll be able to pay $9.99 a month to subscribe to YouTube Music Key, allowing ad-free listening on YouTube as well as access to Google Play Music.

Bruce Springsteen's performance of "Fortunate Son" at the Veterans Day Concert for Valor had its critics, but the song's author is not among them. "As an American and a songwriter I am proud that the song still has resonance," said John Fogerty in a statement. "I do believe that its meaning gets misinterpreted and even usurped by various factions wishing to make their own case. As a man who was drafted and served his country during those times, I have ultimate respect for the men and women who protect us today and demand that they receive the respect that they deserve."

In music terms, what will 2014 be remembered as "the year of"?
