It's good to see that gaffa is STILL the bastion of fairness and sensibility
that it used to be.  Of course you have probably judged Prince on what
you see/hear in the media rather than any merits the man has of his own.
But hey, why give him a chance when it's obvious he's just a lame-o
poser.

Never mind that he's written some of the best songs of the last 15 years,
done some incredible production work, and probably has more musical
chops in his right hand than you have in your whole body; since you
don't like any of it, it's obviously worthless trash.
