Has anyone else noticed...

... the striking similarity between Renato Nato and Dr. Fink???

They both have this psychotic, sort of mad-scientist method of playing and improvising (Dr. Fink created the keyboard riff on "Dirty Mind"). Very similar to Prince's own psychadelic melodies.

Cheers to Prince for hiring Renato. worship He brings flair back to one of the most crucial instruments on stage.

Nope, I hadn't noticed. Your observation reminds me of an anecdote in a Prince biography that said that Prince used to have dreams about mad scientists and clowns.
