.....Prince didn't make the list(not even mentioned) double

http://new.us.music.yahoo...-musicians

He really isn't that wierd at ALL in the music world. Oh, not at all. Especially considering the era he comes from.

how do you quantify "weird"?

U sure about that?

Come what may....Prince is weird, at least once a year.

No one man can call another one weird just because You don't understand his ways.

He's not Zappa weird. But our boy is weird.

This doesn't even belong in this forum if it's not about Prince so what's the point?

See, growing up, when people say "weird"... it's usually taken as an insult. That's probably the insult highest up on the list people use against Prince (taking 2nd to any crack about his height).

I'd be lying if I never thought of Prince as weird in the year I've been checking out his music.
Example: my first listen to his album "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic"... I immediately concluded this is why people think of him as weird
Fortunately, I changed my mind the 2nd time I listened to it months later.

I'm actually relieved that he's not on the list because that's certainly not the way I see him. He's just extremely artistic and his work is very expressive. People call that weird because he puts it all out there. His clothing is out of the ordinary, but that's part of his style No other man can pull off high heels the same way. I bet they can't even dance in them the way he had in the 80's.
It's my belief that everything he does is for a reason and as long as I can explain the "madness," weird doesn't come close to what he is.

Unless ur definition of weird is unique, original one-of-a-kind... in that case, I would agree that he is

actually, I think Prince is one of the most normal people among us

i think zappa was a paragon of normalcy compared to prince, even if zappa's end product might have sounded more bizarre.

Anxiety said:

Disguised as what????

It is Hilarious.

Reminds me a bit of his Bob George bit from Lovesexy Live!!!

Guess what...It's the only weird, I'd get in the sack with...otherwize I'm man clean from here on in.....

When i see that pic of him in disguise it always makes me think about David Grohl dressing up in Bootsy Collins style.
