How interesting! Concur with the above posts. Am a Morrissey acolyte formerly known as a Prince obsessive. Have often mused upon what draws me to both of these artists in such an unhealthy, all consuming way- mmm. What common ground do they share- I think they are musically quite different from each other. They seem to inspire extreme reactions, they are self actualized to a frightening degree, they believe they're right about everything (they usually are), uncompromising, driven, mischevious, intriguing duality of extrovert/ introvert- sorry, to bring the level down here, but typical Geminis. I am far too old to be getting my knickers in a twist about any popstar but these two are absolutely worth the trouble.
