First time I've heard that song.
So where have you been? In the garage fixing your 40 year old Indian ... :-)
Well, what Prince represented, just as Bowie, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Alexander Bard (Army of Lovers), and many more great artists, is that people with bisexual and/or homosexual simply has a different brain setup (that might shine through in extraordinary creativity). When we discussed this kind of preferences with Taimi from Estonia, I am sure that someone mentioned that bi- and homosexual persons had such a different setup, and that such persons was of another quality, in that positive sense.
This androgynity is seen as trans boundary, and so is their music, like Bowie and Prince.
Not to forget, brain research has shown that homosexual men and women activate the same part of the brain as heterosexual men and women, when being exposed to photos of attractive people.
Hetero men trigger on beautiful women, and so do the lesbian women.
hetero women trigger on beautiful men, and so do the homosexual men.
"A landmark study by Savic and Lindström indicates that there are cerebral differences in homosexual and heterosexual individuals. There are differences in brain anatomy, activities, and neurological connections. Brain scan images of the subjects who participated in this study show that the brains of homosexual individuals exhibit similar structure and functionality as that of heterosexual individuals of the opposite gender."This quote above refers to the following article, the quote is not from the following article below

The present study shows sex-atypical cerebral asymmetry and functional connections in homosexual subjects. The results cannot be primarily ascribed to learned effects, and they suggest a linkage to neurobiological entities."
