It's the 3rd anniversary of the return 2 the evermore of the artist, his eminence, the purple 1, Prince Rodgers Nelson. It still seems so wrong 2 me. Absolutely gone 2 soon.
The more I learn about music, the more I respect what he was able 2 bring 2 the musical landscape. This past Friday nite, on a radio showgram called "The History of Funk", hosted by Ricky Vincent, I heard the late great Miles Davis doing a Prince composition called "Black Devil". It's an instrumental masterpiece of jazz/funk that is just incredible. And I do recommend that anyone who's a real fan(atic), like I am, do tune in 2 The History of Funk on Friday nite June 7 4 a Prince extravaganza. June 7th is Prince's birthday, and it happens 2 fall on a Friday this year. The radio show comes on every Friday nite, @ 10pm on KPFA in California. The station is part of the Pacifica network & it can be found on-line.
And I still promote the idea that "classic rock" radio stations should include Prince as a classic rock artist. He has many rock records that were overlooked @ the time because he wasn't considered a rock artist @ the time. They should play songs like: "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy", "Darling Nikki", and "Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" There's a lot of purple rock 2 choose from.
Can u imagine the rockin' that's goin'-on in heaven or the hereafter or wherever Prince & Jimi Hendrix & Aretha & Janis Joplin & Whitney & Michael & Elvis are? Oh, and James Brown.
Live ur life n luv
Peace 2 u
