Sort of like this posting is staring in my face with its inanity.

Hey, if you don't like the guy's music, that's ok, but don't go around calling
his music inane if you don't understand what he is talking about.  Prince's
last two albums had a good deal of social commentary on sex roles and the
end of the world.  Purple Rain says a lot about his life back in Minneapolis
and his family, friends and the people he worked with when he was coming up.
I'll admit, he's not the next John Lennon or Paul McCartney but he does have
something to say.
