I never liked his commercial music, however one heck of a guitar player, as I personally found out in mid summer 2011. I was invited, with an all access pass
for one night at the Montreal Jazz Festival, entered The Metropolis around midnight and surprised it was Prince and his band playing Jazz, turned to my friend
asking is this a joke? I was mesmerized, one heck of a show, with, I stopped counting at 4 encores, finished around 3.40 am, dead at such a young age,
when no drugs etc etc., God was on vacation today.

That’s all I’m going too say about that.

Not to my taste.

I could possibly learn to tolerate it as an acquired taste. 

 

[jollyjacktar]

It just doesn't look comfortable, rec room and kitchen excepted (on the whole).  I'm sure it's very nice and good value, but it's not for me.

 

[armyvern]

How gaudy is that?

Yuck.
