Re: "The Official" Prince Thread
Prince was one of the first people that got me into music as a child, along with Michael Jackson and a few others.
I remember my mom buying me the Purple Rain tape and then regretting it when she heard some of the lyrics and threw it out
Oh well, I've owned it on cd and vinyl in the years since.
Regarding the Purple Rain movie. I think some people are reading too much into it. Its not a work of art, it doesn't have a great plot, but it works perfectly because of the atmosphere, music and era of it all. If you think PR is a terrible movie, then by all means avoid Graffiti Bridge at all costs. Its a movie that was so inept that even Madonna turned down a role in the film because the script was so bad LOL.
Prince has his low points, but I don't think he's ever done anything bad, he's such a talent than his worst music is still on par with others best.
