I never said "No biggie.''
I never said "So the F what.''
I never said "I heard better.''
Just like you, I have seen him live.
And just like you, I thought his musical ability was from another planet.
I just happen to think a musician from another planet should be held to the highest of standards and he was capable of better records than he put out, records that will stand the test of time and be remembered in history and I don't think his will.
I'm not saying they were all terrible, quite the contrary, I just thought someone that gifted was capable of better records.
Sorry, just my opinion.

By posting this I may well head into the precarious territory of becoming Public Enemy Number One on IORR. I'm perfectly content to risk such misadventure, as this is arguably the most eloquent appraisal's of Prince's formidable, magical talent I have heard in the past few days, from the most unlikely person.
An Alternative Appreciation of Prince's Musical Comet

But that still doesn't change my opinion, and that's all this is, an opinion.
It's not a personal attack on you, or anyone else on this board, it's just an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less, and I stand by it.

Just caught the last 15 minutes of the movie Purple Rain, showing on TV, which is
Prince live on stage performing at his club First Street.
I understand now why I clawed at Axl Rose last week:
I've had MICK JAGGER and PRINCE
as my frontmen. Enough said.
My favorite Prince song is 'Controversy' released 1981, only Prince tune I wanted to hear today. Do you think he got God's sign off for this piece?
"Do I believe in God Do I believe in me
Some people wanna die so they can be free
(I said) Life is just a game, we're all just the same...do you wanna play'
Controversy Controversy Controversy
Controversy Controversy Controversy
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever"
(He recites the full Lord's Prayer in the song)
ETA: not being sarcastic or funny.

A very kind gesture. Immediately I thought, the Stones would never do this for anyone, including Bowie. To open a show with a tribute to a fallen musician is an even bigger honor to that person.

I see a lot of similarities with Zappa. A very recognizable and unique style and sound, band leader, great guitar player, raunchy but tongue in cheek lyrics.
