I was hoping that people would say 'both'.

A very talented man... but also a very strange one. Makes for good music.

He's both.
But seriously, y'all...
Twenty five years back, he was seeking a new way to package black pop for the masses, that the average late baby boomer and GenXer, infected with the Irony epidemic, wouldn't be embarrassed about liking. I think he miscalculated, and his squiggle symbol/name became one of the most popular punchlines of the day. --OR WAS IT MISCALCULATION? Maybe he was one of the first wave to realize that being reviled in the headlines is still being in the headlines.
Bottomline, he's a shrewd entertainer and businessman. He can reinvent himself, as we have seen.
Freak? Sort of... an arty boy dandy. Unique? Yes, his music and style was influential.

Both to be a freak is unique and is a good thing without difference then we would live in a very boring world.
