Prince over Michael Jackson

Got in a debate with a friend about who was most talented PRINCE or Michael Jackson. For me this was mute debate obviously from this blogg you know who I am for. Even though Michael holds a place in my hear too.
My stance in the argument was PRINCE did it all write, produce, compose, play every thing. He was consistent with his art and work.
My friends argument was that Micheal took his time he wanted perfect his songs.
I said Micheal didn't read music. He just went on about that claiming Michael did saying he played keys, guitar and drums. I researched it I have yet to see one minute of footage of Micheal playing something. They where all still photos of him at drums him holding a guitar and one peace of video when he was in china with a guy who programed synth Michael touch the key and the video goes black and you hear the guy talking in Chinese.
None of that proved any thing ya he could beat-box and communicate what he heard in his head. But that does not mean he knew how to read music.

As much as I like Michael comparing him to PRINCE there is none. PRINCE WINS in my book and in my blogg.

WRITING

I have another BLOGG called Moment of Inspiration where I have been posting my poetry. I guess you can say it is my VAULT but unlike Prince, there is access to it for everyone to see.
I started writing in high school around my senior year I made a goal of writing 100 poems a year. I was inspired to make that goal after reading Maya Angelou books of poetry. I did that three years in a row but it kind of slowed down, it was like I had lost a good a friend.
Then on April 21, 2016, it when it came back to me the day PRINCE passed away. It came back to me and I wrought "Save A Prayer For The Beautiful One"  that was then when I rediscovered this long lost love called poetry.
Sometimes a new poem just comes to me and sometimes I feel it but nothing is there so I listen to PRINCE for inspiration and that might be why some of my poems have the metaphoric imagery. Sometimes when I go to work I will leave my iTunes playing PRINCE all day just so that vibe is there when I get back from work.

FaceBook

Few months ago I joined a FaceBook group dictated to PRINCE where people would post their thoughts about what PRINCE meant to them. There would be allot of cool video that people took at his concerts and unreleased music that I never heard.
But there is one thing that get me about this is when people use PRINCE to gain attention for them self. With out giving any more attention to this talentless hack what they do is take a clip form a PRINCE performance and make poorly recored beat and post it as a video meme. I can understand taking his video and photos and creatively edit them to one of his songs.
I feel things like that is a insult to him memory we have yet to experience a year with out him. Even though PRINCE was complex person I don't think he would have gone for something like that.

Real Music

PRINCE was asked, What do you consider real music? This obviously is a stupid question from some one that knows nothing of PRINCE. His response to the person who asked the question "Have you been to one of my shows?"

Hopefully you know about the clip I am talking about. Today I saw a clip of PRINCE clip of one of his show with hip hop mashup. I feel it was the stupid thing and the person who maid it knows nothing of PRINCE music.
