Prince

I'm not a huge fan of Prince's music, it's just not my thing....BUT, he was uber talented, he did everything, wrote, played and sang (and wrote tons of hits for other folks).....I totally recognize his genius.....he was one of a kind.....

Was tangentially discussing this with my son - he’s got a lot of Childish Gambino on his playlist and I mused about Donald Glover being one of the most multifaceted artists I can think of
Musically it’s Prince (who unfortunately couldn’t act his way out of a raspberry beret) even more prolific than Stevie Wonder or Paul Simon (yeah, I said it)

BUT, the ridiculous notion that he was some all time great guitar player "as good as Hendrix" is a bit much.....Hendrix changed how folks played there is absolutely no comparison.....

That’s like saying Drew Brees could never measure up to Joe Montana bc Joe redefined the position
Drew can’t go back to a pre Montana era so why would that be a marker?
