Slog - Comments on Rock Royalty http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/rock_royalty Did anyone watch Prince on Saturday Night Live this weekend? He was H-O-T. Seeing someone with so much natural talent just further highlights the completely pathetic nature of the Ashlee Simpsons of the world with their pretend talent....

What a great perfomer! There is nothing like experience, you know, years of making music. Whether you like a particular song or not, his presence on stage is mesmerizing. Years ago, circa Purple Rain, I had a dream that he picked me up in a black and white checked coupe-like car. It was one of the few dreams of my life that involved a famous person and also one of the most vivid.

then came the second number, featuring one his lifelong weaknesses: sucky women. well, not sucky, but prince has a habit of trying to sell the world women artists who just don't have that much to offer.

That goes with a Debbie Downer face. Just for conversation's sake, I wonder what the motivation is: giving a gal an opportunity or wanting some inspiration - ?

I loved the dancing, they reminded me of Tina Turner and her dancers. The second song was weak (for reasons already stated), but I could watch the first performance 5 times on repeat without pause. Awesome.
