Damn. I write incompletely in a way that leads away from what I meant.
Lyrics are part of the song. Some composers are better at expressing the musical composition. Some lyricists are fantastic at capturing thoughts in words. I believe Prince was a more talented in music than in lyrics. He was best at presenting himself as the New Romantic of the Midwest. He might have thought himself as the cross between Don Juan and D'Artagnan. His fashion was as part of him as anything else.
While I do not particularly like him I do not hate him. No offense intended.
