^^^that's queer, in short! Another term for the same meaning; "unfamiliar with a crazy action".
i think Prince in his craziness defined more truths than Einstein
So which ones truths are more important?

Queer is good. Most things need a queer element to have integrity. Big gap if otherwise.
Prince or einstein? I like the question. Hard to say, but i think Feynman beats both.
And Iggy beats Feynman!

Queer is change. It's a must!
Relating so much with Prince and Einstein. And there will be others, and more.. but Feynnman is a critic, nothing more.. Yet, i'll give'em, maybe someday he'll evolve?
Now he's just an anti-socialist, think about it

feynman was a critic where others feared to be. a true scientist with the courage to apply the method to the protagonists themselves. without critics at the center, science devolves into what it sets out to rise above.
same as any artist. patton kicking holes in style and taste will always trump whatever accolades style and taste may achieve, despite how many stadiums it fills.
prince played the rules very well all the way to the top, a virtuoso talent well padded out by an indulgent industry. this of course has its own value - but its not everything.

Fe alternatively fi. What a hard man to kill.
Buster and Rogers Nelson along with Desmond Dekker became fast fiends through their Reggae/Witness connections and studio work...
Nine-Nights, also known as Dead Yard, is a funerary tradition practiced in the Caribbean (primarily Grenada, Dominica, Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad, Haiti and the Dominican Republic). It is an extended wake that lasts for several days, with roots in African tradition. During this time, friends and family come together to the home of the deceased. They share their condolences and memories while singing hymns and eating food together.
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back,
What a hard man fe dead! (Hard man fe dead!)
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back,
What a hard man fe dead! (Hard man fe dead!)
Them seh, the cat's got a nine life
But this man got ninety-nine life, cause...
Them pick him up, you lick him down,
Him bounce right back,
What a hard man fe dead! (Hard man fe dead!)
Them boil one pot of chocolate tea.
And all the fried fish they caught in the sea
They also got six quart o' rum
Saying that they waiting for the nine night to come
The last time I heard them say
That this man was dead (this man was dead)
They find him black eyes
And them lay it all upon his head (the man was dead)
Now the procession leads to the cemetery
The man all a howl, Don't you bury me,
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back,
What a hard man fe dead!
(Hard man fe dead, ... hard man fe dead)
/Instrumental interlude/
Them boil one cup of chocolate tea
And all the fried fish they caught in the sea
They aso got six quart o' rum
Saying that they waiting for the nine night to come
The last time I heard them say
That this man was dead (this man was dead)
They find him black eyes
And them lay it all upon his head ('pon his head)
You should see them goin' to the cemetery
The old man holla howl, Won't you bury me?
Them drop the box and run,
What a whole lot o' fun!
What a hard man fe dead! (hard man fe dead)
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back,
What a hard man fe dead! (Hard man fe dead!)
You pick him up, you lick him down
Him bounce right back,
I am a hard man fe dead! (Hard man fe dead! ... Hard man fe dead!)

Don't get me started on Dennis Brown, The Crown Prince of Reggae.
BTW, Prince Rogers Nelson was a reggae fan, covering Marley’s “Waiting in Vain” in his recent concerts.

Prince made being weird fashionable and acceptable.
And the world is better off for it.
Most of the wars and conflicts throughout history have been caused by one group of people trying to impress their self-focused idea of what is right onto a different group of people.
My friend said that he saw Prince open for the Rolling Stones in Los Angeles in 1982, and someone threw a Jack Daniels handle jug and hit him in the head.
Prince kept playing that night, and kept playing for the next 35 years.
Prince fought ignorant intolerance, and won.
The rest of us should also embrace tolerance and acceptance and inclusion.
This life we have is too short to waste on making it miserable for ourselves and others.

Uh, I'd say Oscar Wilde had him by a hundred years plus he was more eloquent although,
unfortunately, he didn't quite manage to make it acceptable.

Prince's representatives arranged for the musician to meet a California doctor to help him kick an addiction to painkillers shortly before his death, according to a newspaper report published Wednesday.
Prince's representatives called Dr. Howard Kornfeld on April 20, the day before the musician died, to seek emergency help, attorney William Mauzy told the Minneapolis Star Tribune

I may have missed it somewhere here, but what was the reason for him taking Percocet in the first place, which eventually led to his addiction and death?
