A Prince Among Men
I don't even know what words are. . .
When I was in college I had 2 friends who were obsessed with Prince. They'd been to concerts, had his albums, sang every word to his songs.
I didn't get it.
I wasn't into Prince. I knew a few songs but to me he was a li'l man in purple ruffles. I don't like purple and hated ruffles.
Then I moved to Los Angeles and for some ungodly reason I joined the pyramid scheme known as Columbia House CD Club and ordered 8 CD's for a penny. I KNOW RIGHT?!?! That's a steal! (It wasn't. Google it.) One of the albums I got for 3/8 of a cent was Prince's The Hits/The B Sides. It was a box set and it was a revelation I never saw coming. I was obsessed with that damn box set. How had I not been into music's purple waif genius? Thanks to that pyramid scheme I was never NOT listening to it. It was my Hamilton Cast album at the time. I would drive around LA jobless while it blasted on my sound system. I drove an '84 convertible Mustang at the time and would drive up and down Sunset Boulevard with my top down singing
When Doves Cry
Let's Go Crazy
1999
Nothing Compares 2 U
Diamonds and Pearls
Delirious
Little Red Corvette
I Would Die 4 U
Kiss
Cream
Purple Rain

But my favorite to sing like I WROTE THAT SHIT was 7. I just knew that some Hollywood powerhouse would hear me in my raggedy ass car, recognize the raw talent and make my Hollywood dreams come true. Thank you Prince for being a part of my early starlet dreams . . . ????? KISS, Yes, Oh Oh Oh, Oh, Ooh, Ah.
