I'm going to be honest - judging by my itunes play count, I love Prince more than I love MJ. I know you can love them both, but ever since I caught wind of the MJ vs. Prince parties I always knew who's side I was on. Apparently this might have been a real life rivalry, if only one-sided ("he played like helen keller." I love it). Regardless, every Halloween I conspire to be in some Prince-inspired costume, like Morris Day and the Time or Vanity 6. It never happens, but still - from the clothes, to the ass-less chaps, to the overtly sexual lyrics, Prince is an icon. So of course I was thrilled when these vids of Prince's practice sessions started to surface, especially performing one of my favs, 17 Days.
I love his arrogant rooster strut. It's always the little ones...
Good read! I'm a MJ AND Prince lover...can't say I would choose Prince over the King of Pop (lol) but I respect your position! :-)
