I love many different genres of music. However I just have never been able to get into Prince. I actually do like that genre/style of music, I just cannot get it for some reason. And I know hes lauded as a musical genius, and I dont see why.

I also highly recommend the George Harrison Rock and Roll hall of fame induction ceremony! He wasn’t a perfect person and he also released some shit songs… but holy fuck, he was a phenomenal guitarist and showman! Also watch Purple Rain and then listen to the album, it’s cheesy, but in all the right ways!
