"The beautiful ones you always seem to lose..."
AMR also noticed the embarrassment of riches of Prince videos right now. I've been wanting to play them for years only to be stymied time and time again. I appreciate the outpouring of amazing live performances out there right now, if only so we appreciate the depths of his talent and awesomeness.
Here he is with noted Twins fan Misty Copeland.

Did someone say Misty Copeland?
This song holds a special place in my heart because of my Dad's reaction.
After I bought the Purple Rain cassette at the church picnic, I played it from my room while I made dinner and/or washed dishes one afternoon. Dad had the day shift (except for a few years), and was done at 3 (Mom worked until 5) so he was home, reading the newspaper or a magazine or a book in the living room. The climactic screaming falsettos of this song come on and he shouts to to turn that off. So I fast forward into "Computer Blue". "Darling Nikki" later passes without notice.
This is the same man that after I received a big shipment from BMG, showed disapproval of the Breeders' Last Splash, but said nothing about the Menace II Society OST, which had a Tipper sticker on it.
