"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
He was so talented. You may or may not have liked his style but the man could play. In an age of autotuned attitude subbing for talent, you don't get many like him anymore.
Amidst all the tributes to Prince today there's an interesting little story going around about Eric Clapton having once been asked, "How does it feel to be the world's greatest guitar player?"
He allegedly answered "I don't know; go ask Prince."
Personally, I think he should have said "Go ask Jeff Beck." And then, only if he was being asked about the greatest living guitar player.
Because, if the question had been about the greatest guitar player ever, or the greatest guitar player in the universe, was he somehow forgetting Jimi Hendrix?
Prince had some good music, but Jimi Hendrix is who caused me to fall in love with the electric guitar. There have been many greats and in addition to Jeff Beck I would include Dickey Betts and Rory Gallagher. Actually, there are too many to list, but I never considered Prince in that realm. ?
As for the video Rodge, I would tend to consider it IF it were about Prince leaving Scientology. There was another video being shared the day Prince died regarding an interview where he discussed the Illuminati and Chemtrails. I couldn't get past about 5 mins. Prince referred to Dick Gregory as a source of that info and I followed to a video with him also. Talk about your cra cra those folks are KaRazy. Not so surprised about Satan; which brings me to The Church Lady - Dana Carvy - "Could it be SATAN?"
