Maybe. Maybe not. Does art reflect life or does life reflect art? That question has been posed, argued and left unsolved for a long time.

Any particular flavor?

@Gil Bang is right. It’s not just Prince. Plenty of folks are like this. Some more than others. Music and Hollywood stars seem to take it to another level. Maybe it’s about their “image.” Who knows?

In a general sense: yes. Lately and for the most part they are a train wreck and a program of zingers, gotchas and insipid pandering. What do you think?

Dang. Legs Diamond. Haven’t heard them mentioned in years. Opening act for Triumph back in 1980 or so. Texas Hall on UTA campus. Good luck with your woman.

Good for you. I’m still off the Hagen but on the Zyn 3 train.

I respect your opinion. It’s why we have horse races.

Oh, dear Lord. Right next door to Fishing Tackle Unlimited.

Perhaps we need to define how "important" is used as a descriptor. Certainly the word can be used within the realm of music, its development, originality, so on and so forth. The same can apply to individual songwriters and musicians. All within the framework of music. Innovators, virtuosos, classics, etc. Sure. There are surely important people, songs and compositions. Using "important" as a descriptor when referring to any particular music or musical piece itself or to the musician / composer / singer as if its importance is somehow world-affecting on the macro level seems aggrandizing and silly to me. I recall a few years ago that Guns and Roses had a new album or a tour that was kicking off and the promotional spot on TV delicately mentioned that it was "the most important" such and such of the last so many years. Important? Really? What makes those meatheads and their music so important? We're talking GnR here. Sure, you can really dig them, rock out to them and enjoy them. Important? Hardly. Similarly, Brandi Carlile released The Joke and someone on Surly decreed the song to be "so important!" Certainly they can like the song. I agree it is thoughtful, well sung and arranged. Important? For someone? Sure. Just important because, "well it's important!" Nah. It's just my opinion. I'm not looking to fight over it. You asked. OK....let's fight.

Impressive 3rd attempt. Would you like a coffee refill?

I’ve been there a few times. It is one of those burgers that leaves an odd after taste to me. It’s really odd and I don’t know why. The last time I had a burger at Chili’s it was the same thing. Who knows?

On topic: importance. I find naming a song or musician as “important” to be ridiculous and silly. Certainly Lennon’s music with the Beatles is groundbreaking and lasting. I quite enjoy it. But important? Nah.
