[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Fat Dude in the White Shades and the Tigers Hat in Purple Rain, you always know how to improve my mood.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Arguably the greatest rock artist of all time. 

I've always put him up there.

Was just watching Purple Rain last week.  VH1 had that on a virtual loop for years, it seems.  

On the way in to work this morning, America's Ventura Highway was on Sirius XM 32 "The Bridge":

Wishin' on a falling star
Watchin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by Purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name 
Thanks a lot son, just the same

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Minnesota Twins ritual.  Veterans make sure the rookies know the lyrics to Little Red Corvette.

 

[SWC]

in milwaukee they make everyone learn the happy days theme take that to arnolds brohans 

 

[TheAristocrat]

Still busted up.  Grew up embarrassed to like his music and grew into loving it.  All of it.  This hurts a lot.

Watched about a week or two ago as well.  If you take out the musical scenes it's really pretty bad.

The music makes the movie.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The music makes the movie.

Well, yeah.  That and Morris.

 

[mr roboto]

Look at you, you went to the gym?

That's right. Suns out guns out. 

I've been drinking JW Black. Thinking of walking down to Paisley to pour one out. It's about 2.5 miles. Thoughts?

I'd do it if I were 15 miles away

Do it.

So true. 

Crappy movie, but fantastic record. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh, Purple Rain is terrible when it isn't performance footage.  That still didn't stop me from leaning back into my dormmates' open doorways and saying "How's the family?" about 5,000 times in college.

As our Delta flight lands in Minneapolis tonight, lights dimmed purple for #Prince w/@jackhannahcnn @jasonkCNN

The purifying yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka scene was pretty solid.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I liked Apollonia's boobs.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Do it.

And video it - and upload it.  

 

[raidergil]

Sweet

Listening now.

I knew he could play, appreciated it (even as an EVH, rock guy) and his song writing....just wish I heard this back in day..tremendous

 

[SWC]

prince must have kept his stuff off of youtube because there is not as much on there as you would guess for a dude like him which means you can not really take that to the bank bromigos 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

No MTV, no matter how emotional I am right now, I will not re-appraise Batdance.

 

[NCCommish]

I was there. I didn't boo but people around me did. Not the right crowd. 

As as for my earlier comment, what can I say? I'm a sappy guy. And it's a sad day. 

You got to be you

 

[Daywalker]

Remember reading Prince has a ton of never released songs.  Could be bs.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Never knew he wrote Manic Monday.  Listening to it now seems like i should have known. For sure sounds like him.

The story was always that he had a crush on Susanna Hoffs, who turned him down (but took the #1 song).

Prince was well known for not wanting his stuff out there. He was very good keeping it off those sites. Very private guy very protective of his work. Also reportedly somewhat tech phobic.

 

[SWC]

i did not know that commishan so thanks for the information for my ear take that to the bank bromigo

 

[NCCommish]

Wife is a huge fan. I am thinking Purple Rain playing on a loop for a few days. Dude was an extraordinary talent. Best half time show in forever. Tough year for fans of great music. 

 

[NCCommish]

Always happy to lend a hand and you can take that to the bank

Never knew he wrote Manic Monday.  Listening to it now seems like i should have known. For sure sounds like him.

He also wrote "Nothing Compares To You", but as an up-tempo song, and was infuriated that Sinead O'Connor slowed it way down.

Really?

 

[gump]

Meaningless story but sign of the times...

Taylor Swift and her (gigantic and wealthy) team are working hard and spending money on protecting 'Party like it's 1989'...and have even looked in to trying to claim 'Party like (any year)'.  As if it's their ####### idea.

She says he flew in to play synth, said virtually nothing, and left the same day.   Might be a coke-addled fake memory.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

First Ave just opened the doors for an all-night, no cover charge dance party.  The crowd waiting to get in took up at least a city block.
Going to run all-night parties on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, too.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

which part?

I thought it was common knowledge that he wrote Manic Monday.

Stevie further claims Nile Rodgers played bass.  Spielberg shot the video.

 

[Willie Neslon]

I thought it was common knowledge that he wrote Manic Monday.  

Apparently not.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Apparently not.

Meh.  I was a Bangles fan back when they were doing jangly retro-ish stuff.  Then they did Manic Monday and the Egyptian monstrosity.  

 

[Gachi]

Love Prince, don't want to be "that guy" but he was twice the artist Michael Jackson was.

"Adore" is the most beautiful love song ever written. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Meh.  I was a Bangles fan back when they were doing jangly retro-ish stuff.  Then they did Manic Monday and the Egyptian monstrosity.  

Hero Takes a Fall is a pretty good tune.  

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Hero Takes a Fall is a pretty good tune.  

Yep.  Some other good cuts on that album.   Their first EP was sweet too.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

 and the Egyptian monstrosity.  

Which one was that?
