It's important to distinguish between the many Princes. There's
the embarrassment of recent years, in which mediocre albums and an
increasingly weird persona have taken over. Then there's the
albums from the 80's that turned the world on it's ear. Sometime
someone should ask the techno boffins of today how many of them wore out
a copy of '1999.'
And the man still has it, though who knows when it will surface again
commercially. Some of the Minneapolis subscribers to IDM (Chris? Rob?)
have stories to tell of unannounced live gigs that w ere state
of the art...
