...And so the living get to sum up the life and legacy of the dead...from each's own perspective
no less. It's very difficult to not confuse our own opinions with facts or alternative ideas. But
it happens...
Anyway, glad to see your reply to this thread, Tim, but I know your view is shaped by your
own biases,ie your dislike of ballads...On the Batman soundtrack there was a cut,
Scandalous , that I remember my boy Leroy Burgess [[ of Black Ivory) playing over and over
and over again one summer night. And fans of the songs Purple Rain and Little Red Corvette
are literaly legion. To each it's reach, I guess...
As far as Prince's expressed ideas towards gays I suspect that may have been an external
reaction to his own internal battle with his own bisexuality. Shaped by religious tinted feelings of guilt, even. But that's all irrelevant to his legacy at this point...It lives on....
