Sorry. This one gets no love from me.

beautiful music, but the lyrics are completely misguided.

listening to it again isn't going to make the lyrics any less misguided. anyone who actually knows anything about Abraham Lincoln will tell you that it's b.s. and i'm more inclined to believe historians who have dedicated their entire careers to studying the man than whatever crackpot said it to Prince and he ran with it.
