you mean after Purple Rain because 1999 is a great album.

Sign O The Times was also fantastic. That may have been his last "great" album, although the Batman soundtrack and Diamonds and Pearls sold very well.

I really didn't listen too tough to the songs he played (apparently it was a 3 song medley...but I was working on something for my job so the sound was down) but Prince has never sucked when playing guitar solos. Never.

Rat just hates black people.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

bummer
It's getting great reviews. Good Morning America even reported on how good it was. He still sucks though.

His backing band is a separate group called "Third Eye Girl." That's why he has on the glasses. I think he wears them on the cover of one of the albums. He actually has two albums out. One album is more throwback, three guitar rock album with 3EG. The other album Art Official Age uses more gimmicks and studio trickery, where he is making a statement on today's production style of music.

I don't know about that. I would be a little surprised, but not totally. However, if he ever had low cash flow I would expect a world tour would have him flush with a half dozen million dollars, or more, after everyone is paid and Uncle Sam gets their cut. Stranger things have happened, though.

One of the Car Talk guys died. Hate that. Funny duo.

I enjoyed the guitar solo from Prince on SNL. The other two thirds of the set were not near his previous genius.

the solo was impressive - and its not like I wanted to hear 1999 or Raspberry Beret - but I wanted to hear the classic Prince sound - and that wasn't it.

He's broke? Didn't Prince own like half of the city of Minneapolis?
