Hmm... Not really.

I was just thinking the same thing. I went eek when I saw it.

As for this thread, with all the JB-type songs he's done in the past 20 or so years, all you have to do is combine them together and BOOM! you got a JB "Tribute" album. It may not be a cover album, which I don't think he needs to do, but it's the next best thing.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

All he has to do is release one of his many live covers of James' stuff. His version of "Talking Loud and Saying Nothing" was great during the JOTY shows.

There is a lot of talk about the picture.

I have a few questions for u.

-What's wrong with looking at a dead body?

-Is it so hard to look at your own mortality?

-Do you realize you could die tomorrow?

Death is a taboo in today's society.

It's a lie.

There is NO death. It's just a body you're looking at. His soul lives on.
