Thank you for your enlightening comment: I voted it down accidentally (I'm used to Digg, where the comment vote up and down buttons are reversed from where they are here.) Sorry about that. This really should be getting some love, cause it was a great, well balanced argument that you gave.

That's a pretty easy thing to claim, but I don't think them singing nonsensical words in their mics has anything to do with themselves thinking they're the shit. It's for aesthetic purposes; intelligible words would distract from the music, maybe? And the music is beautiful. They have reasons for what they do. And I think they've proven themselves to have some credibility.

And the Bonnaroo show....wow. They blew myself and the rest of the audience away. Figuratively, of course: Kanye would do that to his audience in a literal sense a couple hours later.

Fantastic Prince World....someone should make an artistic rendering of this.

That ClapClap paragraph is a load of bullshit: If All Along The Watchtower's still a Bob Dylan's song, then Creep is still Thom Yorke's. If Jimi Hendrix could have pulled his live vids of his song off back in his day like this....oh wait, Hendrix didn't have a massive stick up his ass like Prince has. A cover's a cover, no matter how much "astounding pop magic" is used, period. Maybe if I could see the fucking thing I could change my mind for the better, but since that's pretty much nil, Prince remains a corporate whore to me.

Plus, the fact that Radiohead embraces this new age of open media has to say something for them compared to other popular rock bands. They realize that you can't stop the YouTube barrage without pissing off fans. And Prince....damn, he needs his fan base more than anyone.
