And I'm a massive prince fan He's my favourite artist No excuse at ll. You don't have to know half his songs by heart, but you should at least know the name. I'm 17 and I at least know Tchaikovsky made the Nut Cracker. I'm not his biggest fan, and he was in style about 300 years ago, but I know the NAME and at least have a general Idea of his work. I mean, and P is just American pop culture c'mon. Vivaldi's my boo though. | |

I think alot of it has to do with "pop" artist these days not playing an instrument.
You see most or all of them do not write thier own songs,basicaly all they are , are puppets ,and when thier selling power or poularity is over ,they get dumped - just as long as these puppets get thier bling /cars /materialistic things ,they are happy. Right now as we speak, the record lable are scouting new puppets ,developing them to replace the old ones ,like all your brittneys , pinks , akons , and horrible non talented rappers like lil wayne , 50 cent ect ,ect - there are a million of them out there. There is this one young artist who surprised me (colby odonnis) who said kids now days dont relate to musical instruments. | |

I told him that I didn't care for Akon because I didn't think he had much talent. He then asked me what did I listen to. I responded "a lot of Prince".
Checker: "Prince?" Me: "Yes." Checker: "Who's that? I don't think I've ever heard of him?" I then asked if he had ever heard of "When Doves Cry," "LRC", "1999" or "Purple Rain". He said "no". Me: "You've never seen 'Purple Rain'?" Checker: "No" I told him he needs to rent it ASAP and learn some musical history. You know, I feel so sorry for the child. I started to go and buy him The Very Best of and pass it to him, but my funds were low. and you live on planet Krypton correct? That could be the only explanation of at least not hearing of Prince. Thats just absurd Dance... Let me see you dance | |

missjay23 said: 2funkE said: Not sure. Certainly I do not think it is crazy to think a kid, who has probably been only listening to pop music since 2004, would not have heard of a guy who has had almost no radio play for 15 - 20 years. You my young friend are the exception to be wise enough to search out and find quality music no matter when it was made. His loss. I must admit you're right on this point.  Exactly, most of the music I love was made between 1955 and 1970, well before I was born. wheres it written you can only follow music current to your generation. To me Music has a timeless and temporal beauty So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

That's fucking sad. It's like this moron at a mall who thought time after time was a very old song, but she meant inoj's version, and I had to correct her about cyndi lauper though she insisted the one playing was the original | |

Milty said: i'm not surprised. it's kind of expected. i mean, how many people of my generation listen to Dizzy Gillespie or even Miles?
not many i bet. True...but I'd like 2...sometimes money inhibits people from owning and exploring all of the music they can. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

There's no way he doesn't know who Prince is unless he lives in a cave...did he have fur clothing, a bih forehead and grunt alot? Prince has been on American Idol, had all the publicity with the 21 nights in London and the free giveaway of Planet Earth, been on the Letterman show! This kid is defo winding you up.....  I heard the rip when you sat down! | |

I thought so at first, but I really think he was clueless. I do live in Texas and he may have been stuck listening to Garth Brooks and George Strait and just recently got turned on to Akon. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I spit on inferior music. When my empire is finally in place, there will be a hierarchy, with the purest of music at the top, and the scum at the bottom. All resistance to the purity of funk will be stamped out. | |
