Oh wow! Yes, and yes. I still groove to Prince.
You are not old. You've just been around long enough to see all the cool bands (and movies).
Purple rain you say? Unusual weather you're having.
First time I saw this movie, there was some a$$hat blabbing everything that was about to happen. We couldn't move seats because the place was packed. Totally ruined it.
I also remember when party like it was 1999 seemed far away.
I remember seeing it in the theater in Seattle on opening day! I was a HUGE Prince fan back then. I still have the large poster of the movie on my wall! I think I was the only guy there, all the rest were young women . 
What amazing music he's given us over the years! Did you know he originally had given the song Purple Rain to Stevie Nicks to record but she didn't know what to do with it. Prince also worked on the synthesizers for her song 'Stand Back'! He's our generations Beetohven! He's got some surprises in store for all of us this year!!

I just blame it on the rain.
Compared to the Eighties, the Sixties be geniuses.
I like the artist formerly known as a dumbarse for changing his name too much (not P'Diddy).
Prince was cool enough to not need to maintain the apex of cool, and he exited stage left with perfect timing.

30 years, for real?
I saw it in the theater, too. I was almost 14, and my 12 year old sister and I loved Prince. He was one of the few musicians at the time that we could agree on!
I can't believe it's been that long. I'm glad he's still with us.
I remember my parents found Prince to be vaguely threatening with all his sexy talk.
He's a Jehovah Witness now, he doesn't even cuss anymore....
Might not belong here, but I thought it was fun:
Her lips are gonna chafe...Might not belong here, but I thought it was fun:
He is! Goes and does the door-to-door thing with fellow musician Larry Graham, too. Imagine hearing a knock on your front door, going to it, opening it up and there is Prince standing there!
I can't even imagine that. And I've tried. Just can't.
He won't talk dirty to ya and he won't buy ya a birthday present.
