- Dude played the woodblocks like you would not mfing *believe*. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 13:11 15
  - All kidding aside, wouldn't it suck if you were in the generation who got Bieber instead? -- nm - David Apr 21, 13:13 14
    - Even my kids who lean towards rap/hip hop call on Biggie/Tupac as their geniuses, which I have pointed out to them are about as old as them. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 13:16

        I agree. The kid's wicked talented...and let's face it, we're comparing him to Prince. A legitimate musical genius. - Jim Apr 21, 13:36 5
        
        I don't care for him, but I have been impressed with some of the things I have seen him do. -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 13:40 4

        well, you're a guy, so......... -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 13:50
        
        I've seen some clips of him on piano - he's better than average on it, when he's not just messing around. -- nm - b. Apr 21, 13:29
      - yeah, his antics overshadow the fact that the kid is talented. -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 13:15
      - Oops. I was about to call him this generation's male Madonna. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 13:14 1

  - and you can still use 320 stuff, because I want to be able to pick and choose what to use / wear - groiny Apr 21, 12:56 7
    - But I already have a 330 ghost, and artifacts of 320 and 327. Just a bummer that the guaranteed reward is stuff that I will not use. - Spawn Apr 21, 13:01 6

        spawn really likes big packages like that -- nm - decline Apr 21, 13:06

      - I was with Prince from Controversy on. That's why it was so strange that his guitarist became so religious right when they were breaking. - David Apr 21, 12:58 1
        
        See, 1999 for me. Probably my age...I was not quite 11 when Controversy came out. 12 for 1999...AND 1999 hit MTV - Jim Apr 21, 13:34
