Pax Arcana
You may remember when Pax Arcana brought you the pretty-cool video of twisted purple water nymph Prince performing Radiohead’s “Creep” at the Coachella music festival. Well don’t bother clicking that link this time, because the lavender leprechaun had his lawyers go and remove it from the Internets.
Which struck Radiohead’s Thom Yorke as pretty strange, considering it’s his fucking song:
“Really? He’s blocked it?” asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. “Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment.”
Yorke added: “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our … song.”
Which pretty much sums up my thoughts on Prince:
Million dollar talent + ten cent head.
