I'm sick of defending
American Life, but I wonder if half the people who slam
The Rainbow Children have even heard the record. Or if they heard that weird-sounding voice murmuring something religious and immediately shut it off. Custos is right about it being on the long side, though.

the Rainbow Children has some good stuff on it, as did Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic. They are both too long, and they aren't even close to being on a par with his 80s stuff, true, but imagine dealing with that kind of artistic albatross around your neck... crikey... at the very least they are INTERESTING, in that Prince still has the capacity to induce "what the fuck is he on about?" headscratching, which I think is a very good thing.
Michael Jackson, on the other hand, just induces painful head shaking and a sort of morbid curiosity/disgust. And to equate him with Prince is just shameful, I think - MJ can't write or play jack fucking shit. He's only written, what, 4 or 5 great songs in his ENTIRE CAREER?!? I mean, who cares about this loser? His personal artistic output is pathetic - we're talking maybe three or four album's worth of good material TOPS, and on more than half of it all he did was sing/squeal.
