Looks like a bunch of movie theaters across the US are going to be playing Purple Rain for the next few days starting tomorrow! I already bought my tickets! Please go see this movie!! This is Prince at his finest! Sure, it's going to be a bit dated but it was the film and soundtrack that started his meteoric rise to fame.

Losing Bowie gutted me and I just don't want to look at death anymore for a while. I managed to keep it together all day and then I saw this and lost it. I cried and cried. I hope somewhere he sees how much we love him. RIP
The world was bathed in purple last night. I'd like to think that he saw it and smiled, then turned around and began the next step of his journey.

The woods are lovely dark and deep
...my curiosity is professional, to try to understand the physiological reason for his passing.....

Although not a medical professional, I have spent my lifetime living and working with medical professionals. When someone as young as Mr. Prince passes suddenly, the need to know why is not only a learning experience but maybe a lesson to be learned about the care we take with the one life we have to live.

Behind you
The official NFL YouTube channel has posted his full half-time performance from Super Bowl XLI without voice-over commentary.


This is just too awesome. Had to stop in the middle of video to thank you for posting this. I have never seen this in full.

Oh man. What a talent.

(off topic, did you know that his guitars were 3/4 scale?)

...the Purple Rain Cocktail.....
  1. Pre-chill vodka in freezer. (Recommended: Pre-chill all ingredients instead of using too much ice; which can dilute the drink).
  2. Pre-chill large/9 ounce wine glass in freezer.
  3. Add about 4-6 ice cubes into the wine glass.
  4. Add vodka, raspberry liqueur, blue curacao, lime cordial, and cranberry cocktail.
  5. Stir or shake gently and serve.
