I'm also not sure he would have been as successful without that part of his personality being so strong...

as a fan there are times it gets in the way of him maximizing his output....but it's kind of an accept part of who he is...

not to speak ill of the deceased.....but I mean Michael's "short-comings" were certainly more detrimental to his later career than Prince's have been to his. Prince has improved some in that area...but obviously it's still there...

and I honestly think in his mind that's part of what he needs to do to keep going and produce....and that I'm not mad at.
