    My fav Prince..... The title track is absolutely gorgeous. As beautiful and striking as anything Hendrix ever wrote.

    He was a prolific song writer and played just about every musical instrument you could think of. You'd be shocked at how influential he's been, especially behind the scenes. Trust me, you've heard many many songs that Prince wrote, sang, or played on.

    And Phife. These artists were all far ahead of their time with important things to say. Unique creators and innovators taking music to new places. These have been huge losses.

    Maybe now all his music will be released. Supposedly he has a vault of music and videos and other content that he kept only to himself.

    Compared to Miley and Nicki this seems so tame now but this performance (with the buttless pants) was really controversial at the time.

    He never allowed sharing of his material on places like youtube so now they're going crazy loading clips there.

    Michael Jackson,James Brown,and Prince on stage (1983 )



    This is just awesome! Prince rides a biker Santa Claus looking dude on to the stage, has sex with a guitar, then does a few James Brown dance moves, and finally crashes a fake street lamp into the crowd.

    I'm glad younger people will have the opportunity to see his greatness. Hopefully it will spark some interest in some of them!

    I didn't appreciate Jimi Hendrix when I was a kid because I was very little when he died and my parents never played his music around me. I'd heard Purple Haze and Foxy Lady, the big commercial hits, but never heard any of his other stuff. When I got older and had access to more and more of his music it blew my mind.

    Not at all, just saw in an interview that Prince told LA Reid that the elevator symbolized the devil. It would be similar to if Micheal Jackson had died in a cemetery (Thriller... thriller night) instead of the sad way he passed.

    Neither had I. Hopefully a better copy of that turns up.

    I hope so too, it's hard to find much on youtube for him right now... I wanted to post "Hot Thing" here but couldn't find it.
