Bill (above) - I stand corrected. This is news! Prince <b>was</b> pissed that the Foos did that great version of "Nikki". It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, if he ever opens his mouth about it. I wouldn't think his "Best of You" performance was to "get back" at the Foos in any way, but that he genuinely thinks it's a good tune. If you read the lyrics to "Best", it seems right up Prince's alley... (for the Prince version, replace all to's with 2 and all you's with U). <blockquote>I’ve got another confession to make I’m your fool Everyone’s got their chains to break Holdin’ you Were you born to resist or be abused?

I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone AND onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
No, I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh…

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You’d die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no full
I’m getting tired starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh…

The Prince quote sounds pretty far-fetched to me, given that he's covered a lot of other people's tunes, both live and on record. And he'd "like to shoot them in the head"? Come on, man. Reports are that Dave has always been a huge Prince fan, and that he was blown away by the half time performanec (according to a <a href="http://www.prince.org/msg/7/217094" rel="nofollow">post on Prince.org</a>).

I've heard that Prince was pretty displeased about their cover, saying that people should "make their own music" and the he'd "like to shoot them in the head." I guess Dave publicly asked for the song to stop being played on the radio to appease our royal highness. So, now for the real question: has Prince gotten the best of Dave Grohl by playing a FF song (better than the foos, may I add) at the friggin' Super Bowl?

It was the worst weather the rain never, I repeat never stopped and was pouring! Not some light drizzle, but actual hard rain! For him to(and his band, oh and especially his dancers!) not to wipe out on stage!, yo, what a performer is all I can say. I was at the SuperBowl and Prince did his thing!

'3121' or 'jam of the year,' or even a part of 'musicology.' i wish he wouldn't have left half the country thinking of him as a retro act. and absolutley, james brown should have been in there. as bad as two years ago when paul mccartney didn't mention george harrison... the covers were weird, but that’s typical weird for prince. but i was disappointed how purple rainy it was. 46% of homes in america had the superbowl on. sure, he knows who’s writing the check, but i wish he would have done something to let people know that he still writes songs. ‘3121′ or ‘jam of the year,’ or even a part of ‘musicology.’ i wish he wouldn’t have left half the country thinking of him as a retro act. and absolutley, james brown should have been in there. as bad as two years ago when paul mccartney didn’t mention george harrison…

I don't care for the do-rag either, but you're right, Zack... He wore one on SNL, too. Time for a new album!!! And, of course, a tour!
