I don't think of the aging process as "getting old". I prefer to think of it as "becoming vintage". Since vintage cars, guitars, wines, clothing, etc. increases in value as they age I feel it best describes what happens as we progress through this thing called life.

Anyway, here is an awesome cover of Purple Rain. Well it's awesome if you can get past the fact it's Richie Sambora. Unless of course you are a Bon Jovi fan (which I AM NOT). I find it awesome because Corey Glover from Living Colour does the vocals. One of the best vocalists in rock! Plus Orianthi plays on it. She is pretty hot :love: Actually, extra hot because she wails on guitar!

I've not read this thread and I won't because my taste and comment of music here has not always gone over too well. But, I will say that I love this song and I had the honor of attending the Purple Rain concert that year and because of a DJ that I know well I was able to be in his Purple Circle. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. I love the song but my favorite is When Dove's Cry. I love the coos of the doves in that track. Brilliant. I love Prince.

Go to youtube and look up Prince While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's from (I believe) the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Tom Petty, George Harrison's son (watch his face as Prince plays guitar- Prince mentally leaves the stage and achieves nirvana) and a host of others. Prince's guitar playing on this track brings tears to my eyes- he is INCREDIBLE!!).

I've seen that footage. Pretty awesome. Prince is a great guitar player :)

When Doves Cry is a great song. One thing that makes it unique is there is no bass line. Very odd for a pop song in general. Even stranger from a contemporary R&B artist.
