)! This man has been making tunes to groove to, have sex to & make love to since 1978 (damn....I was 6). He does it all: sings, writes, produces, plays instruments, dances (no one can jump & do splits in 4 inch heels like he can) & acts. Well, his acting could use a little work, but how could you not love Purple Rain & Under the Cherry Moon?
I remember hearing "Lil Red Corvette" and trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about....."pocket full of horses"???. Of course it all went over my head. Hey, I was only 10. Fast forward to 1984's Darling Nikki - I actually learned a few things from this record. I thought Nikki was nasty slut for masturbating in the hotel lobby. What did you expect from a 12 year-old know-it-all?
If I had to pick an all-time favorite, it would have to be "Adore". That is seriously, one sexxxy song! Followed by I Hate U, Kiss, D.M.S.R. (Dance, Music, Sex, Romance), Scandalous, International Lover, Baby I'm a Star (I gotta get up & shake my groove thang when I hear that one) & Let's Go Crazy. Even Muda liked Pop Life.
Do you remember the 1999 calender? Caliente!!
When "When Doves Cry" was released on 45, my mama sent me to SoundTown (a local Wrecka Stow..only real fans will get this) to it. Imagine my awe when I pulled it out to check for scratches & that joker was actually purple! A purple record!! Who'da thunk it? *lol*
I paid $75 whole, hard-earned dollars to see the Musicology concert & of course it was worth it.
I just wanted to show my appreciation for a true entertainer who doesn't need a lot of 4-letter words & countless video hoes to sell records. Although, his music does bring a few 4-letter words to mind....
PS....I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me it goes astray.
