accomplishments as Prince is doing something wrong by feeling protective of his own work..

I find it admirable really. He should feel that way about his music.

Prince's arrogant, self-absorbed, perfectionist attitude made him who he is. The world of music would have been a lot better if more people had that same attitude and could actually back it up as he's done.

Prince came up in an era where you needed a certain quality and skill about what you do....in the studio and live on stage. Bring it or find another line of work....and the guy has backed it up for over 30 years.
