I'm one of his fans. Prince was a prolific song-writer, making stars of numerous singers who sang his songs.
I have no problem with folks being a fan of his. For all the talk about his creativity, I am still looking for the first song he was responsible for that I actually care to listen to.
The only time I ever think of the guy is when the media becomes fascinated with him again, and they talk about him non-stop for weeks on end.
