To summarize the previous discussion about this a couple of weeks ago: the thread touched on the music industry, a topic flogged to death here on Metafilter, and ended up evaluating Prince as as artist. Happily, most of us like him.

In other news: How'd I miss such a damn interesting MeFi post? I gotta quit my job. It's getting in the way of my MeFi reading.

I mean, the new Scissor Sisters CD for $16.95? WTF?!

Well, now you have been double-posted. A little ointment and a few years of therapy will make it all better.

Hold me, herm!!!

OK... not that tight.

Anyway, there goes my chance to use the phrase "the artist currently known as Prince" for a while. Oh well.

Cotex must be asleep. I flagged the thing my own damn self. Letting this post stand for very long is an insult to the hard-working MeFi community, waters down the high quality standard of the site, and just makes people want the img tag back.

(Not to mention it's embrassing as hell to the poor loser who posted it.)
