I more than agree, one can never have enough chicken scratch and we've been starved in the last two decades!

I'm not clear on what chicken scratch is. What other Prince songs fall into that category?

Chicken scratch, however, is at its root, an interpretation of norteño music, which is itself a Mexican adaptation of polka. Many chicken scratch bands still play polka songs with a distinctive flourish, and may also play the waltz or conjunto.^[2] Chicken scratch dance is based on the "walking two step or the walking polka and the emphasis is on a very smooth gliding movement";^[3] dancers may also perform the mazurka or the chote, though no matter the style, it is always performed counterclockwise.^[4]

He's been more inclined to use linn drums as a throwback rather than the chicken scratch .... I say leave the linn alone and use the cs if it can't be both

Yeah, totally. He does plenty live still and personally could listen to his rhythm guitaring/chicken scratching for hours.
