It is the 25th anniversary of "Purple Rain", and I can't believe I haven't written anything about it. I've been listening to "Parade", the soundtrack to "Under The Cherry Moon" (which secretly I love more than the soundtrack to "Purple Rain") for the past few days, and I can't get over the brilliance of it.
Shall we honor Prince with a little game? It is the weekend, and if you would like something to do for a minute, please indulge me. There is a blog I adore "Cowgirl In Sand", (there is something about it) and she had this thing going on...hope you'd like to do it while I make my transition back to L.A.:

Prince is SUCH a damn fool when he wants to be lol...
And the WEALTH of music that came out of that year(1986) were easily the most prolific and briliant statements that came from his mind. The outtakes are really out of the universe, "The Dream Factory" album, HELLO?
