A friend has sent you the following article from PopMatters.com Features: Something Wrong with the Machinery: Prince’s Pop Paradox by Jason Buel 31 May 2009 When Jason Buel was in a rock-band called the Royals, he played some shows to metalheads and was met with indifference. When the band broke out a cover of "Computer Blue", however, everyone noticed. Here, Buel takes us on a journey into what precisely made Prince a figure that could transcend genres so easily, and why his songs are just so ripe for covering.
