I'm a big fan of Ryan, seen him perform several times and own most of his stuff (also Whiskeytown). I have never, ever seen any link between him and Prince in any way apart from both being great musical-minds and songwriters, but very very differently.

I've also got a lot of his work and I must have heard "HCN" about 50 times
now and I never noticed any resemblance to Purple Rain at all.
