Prince vs. a Bird

Those people that have only ever seen Prince on television have no idea just how tiny he actually is. At birth, he was just a quarter of an inch long and weighed slightly less than an ounce. Even today, he is barely an inch and a half tall and weighs only as much as a pad of medium sized Post-It notes. His whole life has been spent avoiding dangers that you and I don't even realize are there. Things like cracks in sidewalks, storm drains, and yes, even birds. Especially birds. To defend himself against these winged foes, he has developed a guitar style that, while pleasing to you and I, is virtually unbearable to creatures of the avian variety.

Rock on little Prince. Rock on.
