No Rock And Roll Fun

LIKE MICHAEL MOORE, ONLY LESS SUBTLE: Prince is apparently working on a new album which will be a satire on the current state of rap music. This we're greatly looking forward to – not only because it's probably the first time in about fifteen years he's written anything that doesn't end being a hymn to his penis (we're guessing, anyway – surely he won't cast his member in the Snoop Dogg role?) but also because his deft gift for the quiet satirical statement – like scrawling slave on his face, and changing his name into a non-ASCII coded symbol – suggests we're in for a ridiculous, pompous treat.
