Yes I love Prince, but sometimes Prince is too deep for me, musically and lyrically. Now don't me wrong: the school of Prince makes me do homework and get down in there! But, I generally don't like headaches after thinking about music for too long. sometimes, just to get in far too deep. (and never come out)<br /><br />But, I for the life of me can't figure how one man, MJ, can write and mix many songs that sound so complex in terms of prduction (2BAD, Tabloid Junkie, They don't care about us, Morphine) without the ability to read or write noets So how can a 40 yr musical veteran be such a musicology "babe" and still be able to arrange a little ditty for the masses? <br /><br /><br />Of course, not all releases where successes, and on some songs, MJ did take an independent direction. But for the most part, he knew the anatomy of a hit, and was rewarded well for it. Some might call that selling your soul. With a talent like Jackson's, I prefer to say that with every song & every performance, Michel jackson gave his away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140180698470205585noreply@blogger.com
