In terms of the M word, I think we need more maturity. In terms of Transactional Analysis, we need to move away from the drama triangle

We need to move away from the Controlling Parent & Adaptive child 'with no boundaries' ego state i.e. I'm okay you're not okay

And move to the mature Adult role of 'I'm okay, you're okay.'

These overall ego states would work when judging Prince too.

I'm soooo loving this illustration. It appeals to the shrink in me!!!!

Neither bashers or gushers? People that are neither hateful or over the top in their love for the guy?

Not everything he does is always great or rubbish is it?

It's OK to hate his hit-laden main shows and love his more out there aftershows aint it?

I think it's more natural to have a love/hate relationship with P and his work.

Maybe it's just me.

I'm like you as well, but I stay away from all the negativity because it gets boring after a while. Prince latest song wasnt a masterpiece nor what it a total flop, even though I didnt personally like it. Some people are just 2 extreme though.
