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.

Alright, the one that got me was the George Harrison Hall of Fame video. I've always thought he was talented, but that's a slap in the face with his abilities.

Your video on his process helped a lot too. He is iconic. I agree he's not always my style, but dude was a force of nature.

I've always appreciated him as a person as I saw the news stories of his community mindset and philanthropy growing up. I think I just hadn't been exposed to the right songs or aspects of his career. This is nuts. I will definitely check out some more of his work. I appreciate the link and conversation!
