Prince of What?


After watching (and hating) the Superbowl XLI Halftime Show, I asked myself why Prince is so beloved? I don't get it. I know that "Purple Rain" was the 1980's prom song du jour, but why does that make him relevant today? If no one from any other generation has any affinity for him or his music, can he really be considered one of the greats? Does a real musician really come out to "We Will Rock You" and cover the Foo's "The Best of Me"? Why didn't he just throw in J.Cougar's "This is Our Country" while he was at it?

You're a racist, and Prince's performance was better than Paul McCartney's
