>Prince also doesn't have the most likeable public persona.
I mean with ppl like McCartney, Jagger and Bowie, they all try to be likeable ppl (Even if it's not anywhere close to the type of person they actually are). Prince is just Prince, the whole going by a symbol rubbed a lot of ppl the wrong way (Despite knowing why he did it, it's still a highly pretentious thing to do). He hasn't really broken character or tried to cop pleas for anything he's done, if anything he probably resents his audience for not understanding his great vision.
