Taking on Prince
I already thought Prince was pretty awesome. When it comes to pop music, he has absolutely no equals (sorry, Michael Jackson). I can't think of any songs I've heard of his that I haven't at least mildly enjoyed. Sure, he's a weirdo and that whole thing with changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol back in the 1990s was just kinda bizarre and misguided...but that doesn't change the fact that he's fucking brilliant musician and songwriter.
And as proof of that, Prince, who appeared as one of the headliners at this weekend's Coachella Music Festival in Southern California, showed how awesome he is yet again by covering Radiohead's 1993 hit "Creep" in such a unique way that only he could possibly pull it off.

Damn, it was so good, I wanted to almost cry. I wish I could have gone to Coachella. :-(
