Just re-watched "Purple Rain."

Boy do I miss Prince, his energy, and his music.

What an unfathomable loss.

1. Yep. I'm still in shock.

2. Minneapolis has changed since that movie was made.

But 1st Avenue is still there, kitty corner from Target Center snd across the street from O'Donovans pub.

3. I watched it recently too. Very talented artist, Not the best actor.

[Shermann]

4. I thought he was very believable playing himself

The cool thing about Prince is that by all accounts he really wasn't manufacturing a different persona for onstage. What you got onstage is what you got offstage. He was the "real deal" rock star.

5. And it breaks my heart that he was in so much pain

Tom Petty too.
