b'Anil Dash is obsessed with Prince. Since he\\u2019s the host of the tech podcast Function, he has a unique perspective on the Purple One\\u2019s complicated relationship with technology. Anil joins the show to break down the many ways that Prince predicted the sound and science of modern pop, from drum machines to online distribution to internet culture. We\\u2019ll discuss how Michael Jackson jacked Prince\\u2019s electronic experimentation for\\xa0Thriller,\\xa0why Prince liked to lurk in fan chat rooms, and how he found ways to change his sound without ever sacrificing his integrity. We\\u2019re only beginning to understand Prince\\u2019s legacy, but Anil takes us one step closer to fully appreciating the ahead-of-their-time talents of a once-in-a-century artist.\\xa0\\nSongs featured:\\n\\nPrince - 1999\\n\\nKraftwerk - The Robots\\n\\nTalking Heads - Once in a Lifetime\\n\\nGrandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message\\n\\nThe Human League - Don\\u2019t You Want Me Baby\\n\\nPrince - Little Red Corvette\\n\\nMichael Jackson - Thriller\\n\\nSantana ft.
