Un-freakin'-believable....Real Player shows artist information whenever a song is played through the program. Well, whenever I play a Prince song, this is one of the things that flashes at the top of the window:

The Artist Never Known As Tall supposedly has more than 300 unreleased songs.

First off, what is up with the crack on his height. I get so sick of his height always being brought up....the diminutive rocker or the pint-size rocker....yeah P is short and he won't be getting any taller, so why must this fact always be mentioned. Secondly, to say that he 'supposedly' has more than 300 unreleased songs implies that this claim is unsubstantiated and not much stock should be put in it. I don't know..maybe I am reading to much into that blurb, but it really caught me off guard and pissed me off..

Sorry for the rant..

Record reviewers typically have very diminutive penises.

No need for an apology, you aren't in the wrong. I too am quite tired of the " short , little guy, ect..." jokes. They are always petty. It seems to be in human nature to knock someone down that is supposedly " better " than you, henceforth the jokes. Those who are the offender, always make light of the " joke " factor, saying they're just kidding, no harm meant. They're upset when someone is offended by their humor. More than likely, their anger( humor ) stems from jealousy towards the " jokee ". Chalk it up to life, people, good or bad, aren't going to stop " Joking ".

I agree. Journalists are arseholes.

Yeah, I am inclined to believe that it is jealousy too. With all that Prince has contributed to the world of music, you would think that his height would no longer be worthy of mentioning. I guess I'll just have to thicken my skin.

Couldn't agree more. I just noticed that the other day on Real Player (not the diss, but the info itself). The height comments bug the shit outta me

The fact that he reaches our belly button isn't necessarily a BAD thing...

Indeed

There's ALWAYS extra perks of being short...

men are typically jealous of prince. because he's so short, and still considered incredibly sexy by so many women.

and few can play guitar like him. that always gets the babes.

i dont understand why they are so interested in his height the papers allways call him "pint sized prince" in england. im sure he is not much smaller ( if he is at all )than a lot of people men in the media.

I laughed at the Chapelle skit too. It was funny as hell, but that was done under the context of comedy. That's acceptable, but it's unacceptable too me for journalist to make sly cracks...it's totally unnecessary and is getting very old.

Yes, many men wonder how so many women could be sexually attracted to a man that is ultra feminine and only 5'2'.... I am 5'8" and I would love to have a roll in the hay with him..
