Washington POst article asks if Prince is the best ever after burning down the Warner.

http://www.washingtonpost...story.html

Cool article recognizing how Prince has managed to remain more then current and with the times - he looks like he has deftly moved into the position of a prophetic leader in music and politics.

I'm a huge P fan but "a prophetic leader in music and politics"? Huh? Not sure where they got that from. As for the best ever, I think that depends on what type of music that you like. I've seen Prince around 25 times and Springsteen and U2 about the same. I've also seen Led Zep a couple of times and the Stones 6 or 7 times. I would say for me live it would be a tossup between the three although I have seen weak/average Prince shows (late 90s) and never weak Bruce or U2 shows. Also only Prince uses what is basically a karaoke machine onstage for waste of time sampler sets which I hate. All 3 ran out of gas creatively years ago, only putting out a decent song here and there but remain great on stage.
