Prince …
I thought Purple Rain was a great 80s musical film. And in his 'heyday', Prince was an electrifying performer. Big 'mojo' on stage! But when that faded he put his talents to work producing music, and I lost track of him. He was also given to weird conspiracy theories about the "illuminatti" and that bizarre thing with the symbol instead of name.
Seemed like a lot of self-involved foolishness, to me
Anyway, he was an amazing "funkster" and I'm still looking for my favorite clip of him jamming out some classic funk. I think I posted it here, once upon a time.
In the meantime … The Be Good Tanyas
R. I. P., Prince.
