Go play in traffic.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

He only does large scale documentaries, Jazz, Blues, Civil War, Baseball etc. Besides I think Burns would be too bland. There are probably other documentary filmmakers better suited to tackling Prince.

I once attended a dinner sitting at a big table across from Ken Burns. He's a big Star Wars fan. In fact he compared the search for a cure for cancer to the attack on the Death Star.

I'd be happy with a VH1 Behind the Music (do they still do those?)

Make it so, Number One...

Maybe Spike Lee could do one in the same vein of the MJ "BAD 25" documentary he did.

Ken Burns doesn't make documentaries, he canonizes. His series on National Parks was for me unwatchable because of his pronounced tendency to over-elevate well respected figures. It's likely that most of the subjects, if they were alive and could talk, would say: "You know Ken, I was great I really was... but could you please tone it down? I've got expectations to live up to."
