Just how big is this sycophantic fan base?
I listen to my fair share of POP radio when my eleven year old is in the car and Prince surly isn't getting played on radio. YES, the doves cry and the purple rain falls on the Saturday morning 80's flashback show, but I don't hear Prince being played with the likes of: Katy Perry, One Direction, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Pink and so on.
Of course, maybe I'm a blind (or should that be deaf) fan for continuing to purchase David Bowie albums in the 80's, 90's and beyond because I'm sure someone was making close to the same comparisons about his post 70's output.

He has not made a truly decent record in 20 years (this is me being generous), and is getting by on inertia at this point.
