The current issue of Blender has a list of the The 50 Craziest Pop Stars Ever!.

Amazingly, Prince is NOT on the list.
I thought for SURE that the name-change & SLAVE face-signage would qualify him for the list.
I guess that he's just not enough.

Here's a few from the list;

#50 Elton John
#49 Britney Spears
#48 R. Kelly
*
#43 Mariah Carey
#42 Little Richard
#41 David Bowie
*
#32 George Clinton
#33 Sinead O'Connor
*
#29 Rick James
*
#18 Liza Minelli
*
#11 Adam Ant
*
#09 O'l Dirty Bastard
*
#05 Sly Stone
#04 Whitney Houston
#03 Axl Rose
#02 Brian Wilson
and
of
course
#01 Michael Jackson The Craziest Bastard Ever [quote]

Prince is crazier than Bowie.

And I'm saying that in the best possible way.

hey is that the same issue of blender with the outkast interview? I wish someone would type that up.

They probably just forgot him, as usual.

But gee if BLENDER says he isn't crazy, then it MUST be official.

I hate those stupid "definitive" lists those mags come up with. It's all trash.

OOOOOH MANG THAT'S A SCANDALOUS ISSUE!!!!! If it weren't for my carpal tunnel I would so type it up...I'll send it to ya in a month or so, after I've read it a few more times and let it sink in.

You show me some medically valid proof written by a real psychiatrist on ink and paper and I'll believe it.

im quite dismayed prince isnt on this list. what an oversight! theyve done him wrong.

What rank did Courtney Love come in at?

This list is utter rubbish. Most of these people aren't even interesting enough to be "crazy". Where are Iggy Pop, Rocky Erickson, Syd Barrett, Jerry Lee Lewis to name but a few ...?

Or Sun Ra.

I think the top three is pretty appropriate, and it's good to see Mariah Carey ending up on such a list: a woman who has never had any publicity photos or one single video clip taken of her left side of face during her decade-and-a-half long fame surely deserves to be there.

I guess they put only famous people on their list...'cause we all know Prince at least deserves a top20 position.

Or Sid Vicious. Or Neil Diamond.
