SUPER BOWL XLI MVP PRINCE ROGERS NELSON

ONE OF THE BEST RECORDS OF 2006

Oh, yes, the former symbol guy named Prince can be a HUGE cheese head with his pretentious religious stuff, such as the silly electronically altered spoken word crap on The Rainbow Children album.  The self-serving messianic personal emotional politics of even an outstanding song like "I Would Die 4 U" seem more egregious in retrospect.  And ol' Al for one was deeply offended by the asinine "slave" routine with Warner Brothers.  It makes a mockery of the civil rights movement, and all the people who really WERE slaves, and not hugely rich rock stars who decided belatedly that they didn't like their highly renumerative contracts.

All that nonsense, however, is ultimately inconsequential to the more important facts.  When Mr. Nelson is pushing up daisies one day, what will be remembered mostly is that he was one of the greatest half dozen artists in the history of modern popular music.  The Sign O the Times album, among others, will way outlive any of his personal foolishness. He's one of the songwritingest, record producingest, guitar playingest SOBs of all time.
