confused I was just contemplating this very topic this evening, when i was walking home past a guitar shop ... it had framed posters on the the wall of bands/musicians - Hendrix & Chilli Peppers to name a couple - but no prince...There seem 2 be lots of places like it...

Also, Musicology came on the radio when i was at work the other day, and natuarally, i got a bit excited! I was dancing around saying "It's Prince! It's Prince!' and a co-worker (nice guy but...?) says "OH, the 'self-confessed' genius!" eek WTF?? Im sure that P's been told that he's a genius enuf times over the years...besides, if some1 is a genius r they supposed 2 b all modest & deny it??? If u got the talent, u got the talent.
((It's kinda like the way the media claimed MJ called himself the King of Pop - show me where he started that, then I'll believe it! As far as I can c it started from Liz Taylor calling him that...And i recently saw Justin Timberlake being called the King of Pop - & that's ok is it??!)


MJ might not have started the King of Pop title - but he sure ran with it! I have seen many official MJ t-shirts with 'The King of Pop' emblazoned on it! Whereas at least Prince doesn't have t-shirts with 'genius' written on them!

"There's more to the word genius/than anything/I could bring" or something like that in 'Now'.



As for the MJ think - why the hell not? Im mean the man does have the largest selling album at last check! wink

As for the Mozart thing - if i said that 2 ne1 i know- they'd laugh me outta the room... sad
