hmmh, that could be a pretty cool choice.
poor old lenny cravits and prince have been chasing that role for years.
is it true that justin from new wave brit rock combo the darkness was considered for the role but when he blackened up he looked too much like childpopper (alledgly) prince of pop, michael jackson?
insania or what!
