New Beck book has Prince mentions

Just picked up "Beck! On a Backwards River" by Rob Jovanovic (Fromm 2001), and there are quite a few comparisons to Prince throughout. Most of them relate to Beck's last studio album, "Midnight Vultures." The author isn't especially kind to Prince. A sample:

"On "Debra:" This classic 'slo-jam' proved to some that Beck was more of a "White Prince" than just his size and his work-rate indicated: the falsetto tale of his obsession with Jenny from JC Penny and her sister Debra could easily have been written by the Artist Formerly Known as Talented.

These comparisons continued to evolve after Odelay, and for good reason. Both artists are (or in Prince's case were) prolific and extremely talented; both are gifted multi-instrumentalists and can work in a variety of different musical environments. But while Prince is too often hemmed into the admittedly brilliant trademark sound of his keyboard-driven rock-pop-funk hybrid, Beck has been able to change his 'sound' easily from album to album - never staying in one musical place long enough for it to become stale. A second difference is Beck's ability to mix sometimes eclectic influences into the body of a single song - possibly one of his most special talents and certainly one which is unique. Prince has also managed this on occasion but Beck has a far wider range of genres at his disposal: on top of the funk, rap, pop & rock that Prince has employed, Beck's list includes blues, country, Mariachi, Latino and folk too. I don't recall hearing too many Prince harmonica solos that can match Beck's "One Foot in the Grave! A reviewer once said that 'nobody has come closer to equalling the imp of the perverse at his 80s peak,' but I believe that in another ten years Beck with have proved superior in both variety and quality."

From Beck himself: "I'm sure the next record I do will annoy a lot of people. It's not finished yet, but I'm sure it's not for everybody. It's like the White Album and The Black Album arm wrestling. I think it'll eventually become The Beige Album, but I hope it doesn't become too beige, because I think of beige as the color of complete resignation and conformity. Maybe it'll be The Fuchsia Album."
