He's on the cover of the hardcopy of the magazine and there is an inside story http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment

Not a bad article, but I'm not sure why they needed to hear from one of the Presets about Prince's work.

^^ Think just to remind folks how there are so many 'cool', 'hip' contemporary groups influenced by Prince and who have great respect for him

Thanks for posting.

And this is what I was talking about Squirrelgrease.

Trend vs influence

'Hell yeah, says Julian Hamilton, one-half of globetrotting Australian band the Presets, who reckons asking musicians to talk about the influence of Prince is as redundant as asking painters to discuss Michelangelo's impact on art.'

Loved the whole article

Good article. I lik how it focused on his career, influence on other artists, his music and touching on the status of record making, as opposed to re-hashed silliness.

One online fan advises new fans not to ''bother with anything he's done post 1998''. It says post-1998 Prince is a ''watered down, pale imitation of a man who went from creating sounds to following trends!''

Is that quoting our very own Imago from a thread where a noobie was asking which albums to listen to next?

SometimesIwonder said:

Well if Prince is 157cm then I must be a whole 7cm taller, & I know that ain't the case! Man, how tall r those heels yo wear? Ain't no bigger than mine I guess

I think the figure's right (5ft 2ins - pretty short for us guys) . I'm the same height and remember reading this way back.

reported dupe.
