I want to like Prince...

[BeautifulBurnout]

... I really do! Purple Rain was one of the seminal albums of my youth. His earlier stuff still brings a little nostalgic shiver when I hear it, and a smile to my face. I kind of lost interest when he started losing the plot, imo, with the "Artist Formerly Known As.." bollocks. But I thought he'd grown out of all that. Clearly not though - I just wish he would stop behaving like a complete tw@t! and realise that if you start restricting your fans to this extent, you will end up with none. Idiot.
