Prince
Ok, i know what you're all thinking, but it's not like that... Here are eleven
reasons why people should not bag him.
1. Prince is my second favourite guitarist of all time (guess who's first...).
2. Prince is an absolute motherfucker of a musician.
3. Prince is a great drummer.
4. Prince is funky like few others.
5. Prince is a better dancer than Michael Jackson.
6. Miles Davis admired Prince. He played at Miles' 60th birthday party.
7. Prince's bands have all been motherfuckers.
8. Wendy.
9. Lisa.
10. Sheila E.
11. The vocal perfomance on 'The Beautiful Ones'.
I'm not proud to say I admire a dude who wears g-strings and high-heels, but that's all in the past now.

I know he's a major talented guy, but I could never really get into his stuff. "Around the world in a day" is a nice album.
Hey kids! Do you hear that sound? . . . Freaks will be coming from miles around!

That's an artist who makes me negatively sleepy. I can't bear listening to him, I'm too jumpy I suppose. Or perhaps I drink too much coffee.

Ha! I quite like The Darkness actually.....At least it might get young people listening to classic rock,anyway.....But for some reason Purple Rain
always hunts us down, and I have beenknownto either sing(shout) the chorus, and EVEN slow dance to it with whatever young thing I happened to snare
that particular evening......Yep. Pretty good. Really neat. As for other drunken songs, The Black Eyed Peas and I dont have a very good
relationship.....

Rainbow Children and N.E.W.S. are brilliant albums - the 2002 tour really was amazing...
I like Prince a lot..

Here's a video I came across yesterday of Prince playing with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. I think it was at one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nights
and Prince had just been inducted. It's a George Harrison tribute.
