Love The Power of Prince
posted by on February 8 at 11:38 AM
Ever since his dazzling halftime performance, Prince is hot shit again, and as a diehard fan of that little genius freak since puberty, I couldn’t be happier with the post-Superbowl love being thrown his way. (When a coworker with a rejuvenated Prince crush asked if I had any of his albums in my iPod, I was forced to disclose that I have 17 of his albums on my iPod. Yes, that includes all of Emancipation AND all of Crystal Ball.)
This morning brought another lovely collision with the ongoing Princeaissance, at the Vivace Roasteria, where Prince’s 1991 funk bomb “Gett Off” came on the sound system and drove the line of workers behind the counter in an extended ecstasy, or as close to ecstasy as slammed baristas can be. It was glorious.
Prince was still playing when I went in as well. It was on "When Doves Cry" when I was there.
that superbowl show made me love football again.
dave, as is often the case, i am with you!
merchbot 2000 (aka corey brewer of triumph of lethargy skinned alive to death) played a prince block at BANANAS last night and, man oh man, that shit was tight.
kevin cole played the unedited album version of "Party Up" on kexp monday afternoon - the greatest (and funkiest) anti-war song ever written. Long live the Artist Formally Known As the Artist Formanlly Known As. tour, damn you!
