I was wondering why this hadn't come up before -- truly a musical milestone that doesn't just belong in EONS, it belongs in the "upper room." I was lucky enough to see Prince live once, and it was unforgettable, as he simply never stops, the entire concert is one long, continuous musical barrage from a master performer. Also, the movie still holds up enough that my 19-yo daughter watched it with us and didn't pick up her phone midway. Lastly, I consider Prince's guitar work on "while my guitar gently weeps" at the rock and roll hof perhaps the all-time greatest live cover ever played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y. Well done, and long overdue to give TAFKAP his rightful place on the Arlington block of Newbury Street.
Out of every record on the planet, my dad banned only one from our house: Purple Rain. I have no idea why; it’s not like he was particularly uptight, and other Prince records were apparently kosher. Just it this one.
Which meant of course that I had to have it. It took awhile, but I finally got one. No telling what would’ve happened if I’d gotten caught with it, but I know it would’ve been worth it. Fantastic record all around.
Now here's an album I can wrap my head around. Despite "Computer Blue" and "Baby I'm A Star" being questionable, the album is still a classic and I am happy to see you guys placing it where it belongs.
Time to head north and purify ourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Yea, the American Bowie!!!

Baby I’m a Star is one of my favorite Prince vocals. No idea he sounds exacerbated but I’m control for the entire song
