Article: Prince, the Musical Rebel Who Refuses to be Cheated

http://www.afropunk.com/p...nth-prince

While not too in-depth, and despite the lack of mentioning Prince's Punk/New Wave, which was before 'Purple Rain', it still makes some great points.

Not just errors either. This is just poorly written:

"Prince went on to produce classics such as When Doves Cry, 1999, Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy, I Would Die 4 You, and When Doves Cry"

Start AND end with When Doves Cry... sheesh!

Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors.

I could see starting and ending with WHEN DOVES CRY but, alas, I fear it was just a mistake.

Proof reading is (or rather, should be) an important part of publishing, even in the digital realm...

Factual errors are bad enough, this is just unprofessional.

I like the sentiment displayed by the author, though.

Yes. Editors charge little enough. I would not want to send an email with a mistake that glaring.

Reminds me of the Graffiti Bridge trailer that mentions the inclusion of "hot stellas" in its cast twice in the same sentence. LOL
