How is he a weirdo? He's nothing like Michael Jackson.

Prince has some serious musical talent. He taught himself how to play almost every instrument, but horns while in highschool. Not only can he play most instruments, but he's a helluva guitarist and pianist.

I'll admit some of his more recent work is a little quirky, but weirdo?
He did everything from singing, to producing his first album. He's got more albums, with more hits than any of these modern wannabes...

yeah, okay, so I like Prince. BTW, in case anyone was wondering his real name is Prince Rogers Nelson. He was named after his father's jazz band, The Prince Rogers Trio. He is one of the very few celebrities I ever cared enough about to be interested n their personal life...

From Wikipedia: The group is named after the World War II term "foo fighter", used to refer to mysterious aerial phenomena.

and I agree they didn't do very good with the cover... However, I still think they have some pretty good tunes...

There's a difference between being wierd and being a wierdo. Those pictures explain the difference.

I agree, and yes, Prince. I enjoy his music. Well, most of it up to and a few songs off of Emancipation. Past that, and I really haven't given much a listen...

I remember when that album came out and I played it on my stereo at home for the first time -- my mom just about came unglued when that song came on! I thought she was going to throw my stereo out of a second story window!

Up until then, I didn't even think she could even understand the lyrics to any of my music.....

One of the best covers I have heard was Soul Asylum doing Prince's The Cross in Houston at Fitzgeralds.

My ears rang for 4 days after that show but wow! SA was on that night.
