...Prince doesn't really register for me.

BREAKING: White guy in central Illinois that thinks mayonnaise is "too spicy" not into Prince.

(I didn't really get into Prince until a few years ago)

I didn't care for him until his guitar work on Purple Rain. But up until then I thought he was just another MTV artist.

I have always known that I was SUPPOSED to be interested in Prince because basically all of my favorite hip hop artists would lie down in traffic for him. But other than a few songs, I just never got around to it. Appreciate the mastery involved but when I tried to delve in, I found myself wanting to listen to tribe and The Roots instead. Sorry.

If it wasn't for Prince, I don't think I'd know who any of those other bands were.

If all he'd done is introduce Morris Day to the world, that would have been enough.

Why bother?  There are millions of albums out there by artists you haven't yet heard and might actually like, so why waste your time listening to an over-rated midget dry hump and fretwank his way through album after album of ho-hum pop and cod-rock-funk?

That's Tonker's way of telling you to get a Midnight Oil album.

If today, right now, was the high point of this team, I think Theo's already done his job.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Have you heard of something called the World Series? It's a slightly higher point than one game against Cincinnati in April.

I admit it, I haven't the slightest what you're trying to say.

Based on the timestamp, Pen may have been drunk and feeling sentimental.

There's a chance I was less than sober when I posted this.

But, my point was  that he's put together a team good enough to win the World Series and contend for many years to come.
The rest is on the players and coaches.

I still want my blockbuster July trade for Sonny Gray. I'm greedy, but I'd prefer one more legitimately elite starter for the postseason.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015
