No. Prince was the musical genius, tenfold. He played 27+ instruments. ----
This seems quite interesting. Were there any singular pieces of wisdom or extraordinarily intelligent ideas or actions originating in his mind? Please describe some of those.
You are quite literally asking for someone to describe thoughts and ideas originating in someone elses mind. Too funny.
You may be trying way to hard to to find your "too funny" crack. Or, it may only be funny to you because you do not have the intellectual capacity to fathom what was being stated, and then asked.
Throughout history normal people have been able to understand and describe thoughts and ideas originating in the minds of others because they have read and heard and seen and touched those things that originated in the minds of others. How could you possibly claim that a person has a genius tenfold mind if you had no understanding of the products of that mind? If you still don't get it, try the example.
Poster stated: "musical genius tenfold". Commonly in our culture, the term "genius" is used to describe superior/extraordinary intellectual power (in the mind of a person) that produces extraordinary outcomes - creative/inventive/analytical/descriptive - as revelations that break new ground, open new understandings, create things very important where previously there was none, etc. Those outcomes are palpable - perceptible/understandable/touchable- by other human beings. Those recognition encounters transmit the evidence of genius. Real Stuff, not simply some opinion ! So, the responder requested to receive: "pieces of wisdom or extraordinarily intelligent ideas or actions originating in his mind". Examples were requested - some specific outcomes/products of that "genius tenfold" mind - some revelations, some new understandings, some newly created actions/objects. Examples - hard evidence - as if you were reading Einstein's own writing on his Theory of Relativity - which originated in his mind.
Not too funny at all! Not your "quite literally" phony mind-reading thought - but asking for examples of the outputs of the "genius tenfold" mind.
Kindly hear this - written above is an effort to respond knowledgeably and possibly helpfully to your post - even with the suspicion that your post was merely intended to be snarky and insincere. You got the benefit of the doubt, this time. If low- witted snark is your game, that can be engaged as well.
OK - you opt for more snark - you lose. You have zero knowledge about what I really am and yet you are stupid enough to keep trying your meaningless jabs, one after another. For a while, it seemed best to not stoop to your level and to let your silly personal posts go by, with the thought that you might just give it up. It appears as if you cannot resist eventually trying another personal shot. This time, you pushed that very weak jab and have made the mistake of dropping it as you backed out. Now you get to eat the straight right.
I do not know, and have no interest in knowing, what you really are. Here, you are recognized only by the content and style of what you post. So, at this place, you are simply one of the small number of apparently life-empty attention whores who provide little or nothing of useful substance or thought, but spout your very narrow and biased opinions/observations. However, rarely if ever do you provide actual knowledge or hard experience to back them up. Your ego-serving ramblings paint you as a pretender.
If you really want to take this topic on and eat some evidence, go ahead and ask for comment and expansion on the glowing examples that live in your past posts. Easy ammo supply. There is no joy to be taken in such a task, for it would not be a fun enterprise. Then again, there could be some satisfaction in the results. Your choice - smart or snark?
If you look at Prince for technical innovation, a PARTICULAR kind of technical innovation, as defined by academic standards, that might be a way to deny his genius.
If you take a broader look at aspects of genius, interpretation, technical ability, social support of fellow artists, innovative use of existing techniques and giving expression to emotions and anxieties drifting through society, there isn’t a need for debate.
Like Micheal Jackson, and many artists, almost by definition, his personal life was a bit of a disaster, as was a good part of his professional life. Yet he still contributed positively to many, many lives.
So, what is that? Eight paragraphs of word salad? Music is hard to understand for book learned folks but it truly is funny to sit back and watch them try and make sense of it. Keep Googling.
Just keep snarking and faking - seems like that is all you have left in your quiver - and then you pose a fake diversionary question? Fake because you know exactly what that post is. Don't try to deflect the issue to understanding music. That will not work - that post has zero to do with music. It is a reasoned and constructed fist to your kisser with some facts - instigated by your incessant jumping into various topics/posts with vapid personal wisecracks, like some schoolyard bully. My inquiries regarding Prince were not directed to you, but to the poster who talked about genius tenfold and 27+ instruments. That poster has not responded with the info.
But, you grabbed that as another opportunity to go ad hominem. Now, we are on that topic - you and your penchant. Once you have fully dropped your psychological pants here - for any observer who perchance might be interested - the effort could go into exploring and comparing knowledge and understanding in music, acoustics, or other actually worthwhile topics. But, at the moment, the faker has been confronted.
What will it be - more of your snarky jabs, or will you go to your room? Choose your tune.
Back when Dale Earnhardt Sr. was trying to catch that phag Jeff Gordon (and failing frequently) the joke around all the NASCAR tracks went something like this- - - - - -"What's the difference in Dale Earnhardt and Michael Jackson? They both chase little boys, but, Michael catches them!"

Some very good observations there - in the personal tastes of some folks, the guy played a significant role for a while. The earlier inquiry is not intended to deny anything - it is an attempt to understand why one or more posters would claim as they have.

Yeah, But Wonderboy and Ray E-ham had illegal Traction Control... And Rusty Wallace?.. WALLACE = We All Look Like Azzholes Chasing Earnhardt...
It’s hilarious you need somebody to explain music to you. Again. False reverb? LMFAO
Snark basket nearing empty - but still dodging the reality.
While in college with very little $$, I worked the 11pm to 7am shift at a private mental hospital. There we observed that some inmates were stimulated to hilarity by very strange events in their heads, and that their aberrant sense of self-entertainment had no relevance to the normal world. Feel free to laugh on, fool - and maybe explain hilarious music as well. Meanwhile, why not just go to your room?
Even the racist "comedian?" Chris Rock nailed it back in 2008 during his standup comedy routine. Warning: frequent use of the n-word and multiple f-bombs.

Man, the false reverb runs strong in you!
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
