It used to in the past. I would think how comes I like this music or record and others do not. Is it a case of me being narrow minded and obsessive? Now however, I am relaxed about the whole thing. I like some of Princes recorded and others I do not, for example, Come, Batman, Rave etc. do nothing for me. I loved News whilst many others do not.

What I object to is people who for whatever reasons give out incorrect information or judge a person not by his music or in comparison to what is out there out there at the present moment.

Musicology is not a groundbreaking album but that does not make it a bad album.

I live with someone who is a big Madonna fan; I like some of her stuff others I do not. I have seen her in concert and was not that impressed. She just did not take me out of myself as Prince has done in the past. Saying that I left the one night alone concert in Rotterdam feeling pretty indifferent.

NO. Because if I did I wouldn't be listening to all his music today.

Nope. Never have, never will.

Sometimes reading or hearing sweeping generalisations and false statements about Prince and his music leaves me caught up in that - like I am caught in that which acts as a barrier to what I really feel and think of him/his music. I need to learn to side step more often and respect other people's opinions. It's only because I totally don't agree that any music is 'shit' or 'brilliant' for that matter - I am a firm believer in experientially explaining how something impacts on me, for example, I enjoy most of Musicology, not all of it, but most of it. To say that this one is shit, that one is great, well... actually, it is not shit or great. It is what it is. It is about one's experience of it and how one is moved, or not by it.
