I dunno. My feelings about Prince's music have always been in the realm
of "Ugh!" Sure, he's "interesting." Interesting is a euphemism some
people use to describe things when they're searching for a more polite
term than "garbage."

And even if he is good, I hope there is not a strong Prince influence
on Kate's next album. Kate is special, and when I listen to her music, I
want to hear her creativity, not Prince's not Eric Clapton's, not Peter
Gabriel's. When I want to hear them, I buy their albums. I don't mind
their participation, as long as their talents are clearly subordinate to
Her creative urges.

Kate has ROOTS. And her roots are not Prince's roots. Tell Prince to
keep his roots to himself! :-)
