   In reference to Mark Vita's query and Bob Zarcone's flame reply;
Prince is a jerk.  e.e. cummings is (was?) not a jerk.  
	He uses some relatively disgusting lyrics (granted, he's mellowed),
and about the only thing he's done worth admiring is to perform all of the
instruments on his new album by himself (doing each song a bunch of times
using the different instruments and mixing them together).
  But if you want to hear some REAL music recorded the same way, check out      Centerfield by John Fogerty-he plays everything on there, (and he sings about wholesome normal American things like trains [as opposed to "Raspberry Berets"] :-)
  Personally, the only people I know who like Prince are two girls and a friendof mine from California (but he has an excuse-he likes the Dead Kennedeys,
 too).
Also, what the hell is wrong with literature and music courses?  Maybye if
Rob Zarcone took a few he might begin to appreciate some real music, and not
the "aural pacifier" music Prince and his like produce.
