 | | Some might say that Prince is older now and that I should just expect him to make the kind of music he's been making, but there are other artist older than Prince that have been around longer who make really vital and refreshing material, so I know that's not the answer. | | | Prince is and has always been a more complete musician than the One-dimensional Michael Jackson. | | | While it may not end up being ranked as an utter masterpiece in Prince's own canon, "Musicology" is definitely one of the better releases over the past two or three years of any description (not hard, perhaps, since it's been a reasonably light couple of years). |

| | Prince must be one of the most bootlegged artists of the rock era -- on a weekly basis I listen to a bootleg called The Dream Factory, which would later be known as Sign 'O' the Times. | | | But it's Purple Rain that was a crowning achievement, not only in Prince's career but for black life -- or how blacks were perceived -- in the Eighties. | | | I met Prince in 1996, and I was prepared for the grasshopper voice, the one that he always uses at award shows, but he was totally normal. |
