Summary

This quote refers to someone who is called a "steady patriot of the world," meaning they are devoted to the well-being of all countries.

This implies that they may have a broader perspective and focus on global unity, rather than just their nation's needs and desires.

I think Prince should open up a little more to other artists. Just because we love Prince. Especially the old stuff - we love him to death. But if he opened up he would be something to deal with. Imagine Kanye West producing a Prince track? It would be banoodles!
