I love Rick James, I'm a big fan, but his stuff isn't as deep as Prince's - Prince is far more interesting lyrically, where as Rick is more surface level - which I'm not knocking him for, just observing.  I agree with you 100%. | |

Prince's slight build and gentle nature has allowed him to be as free with his sexuality as he wants to be. I know he used to feel bad about being short but he shouldn't because he could have never gotten away with it as a big dude. Imagine if Prince looked like Chewbakka but was still Prince!

I gotta say I definitely agree with all those that've said Prince height and looks ('cause he's fairly feminine even without the makeup) affected his outlook on certain matters -which would have in turn affected his songwriting.
On a more superficial note, large men simply cannot pull off makeup and women's clothes unless it's full drag, and even then it has to be extremely well-done. Take Bowie, for example -the androgynous Ziggy Stardust look just wouldn't have been as visually effective if he was a big guy. And it's the same with Prince. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
