Will this stem the MSM's flood of deserved praise for Prince? It turns out that Touré--better known in these parts as a former spoke in MSNBC's since-cancelled Cycle--is also a Prince biographer, his book published in 2013.

Appearing on With All Due Respect today, Touré cited two sources: Prince's former sound engineer, and a member of his band, for the proposition that Prince was a "conservative" and a "Republican." Touré embraced the notion himself, but offered a pejorative notion of what it means to be a conservative: "I am making money, I'm successful, I want this money and this success protected . . . When you are rich, you want status quo."

I heard someone on Fox saying he once phoned up Greta & asked her legal advice for an hour.

He’d surely have been a viewer, probably conservative - to have been that familiar with her credentials.

Prince was unique that’s for sure. I never was big on his music. Pop music isn’t my cup of tea.
