Prince... just died.

While not a super-fan, I always liked Prince. He was a artist who could do pretty much anything in any genre. He was a guy who broke all boundaries, had a multi-racial band which had men and women on an even playing field. This is a guy who brought out music almost every year, sometimes more than one album a year. Maybe a bit pretentious and aloof at times, but I can't doubt his talent and dedication to his craft.

If you put Prince in a room with some instruments he could produce an album alone. If you had put Michael Jackson in the same room he might come up with some vocals, but without substantial back-up help, no music.

RIP, the Purple One.
