"You're just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make you happy when you're sad
Make you good when you are bad"
I'm not a big Tuesday fan. I feel out of all the seven days of the week it has the least personality. Marketing gurus have tried to jazz it up with themes like "Taco Tuesday" but I'm not impressed (although I do occasionally partake in this new holiday) Even musicians don't seem too inspired by this day. It's not "Tuesday I'm in Love" or "Tuesday Night's All Right For Fighting" or "Tuesday Morning Coming Down." Friday, Saturday, and Sunday won those battles. So, what's one to do on a rainy day at this time in the weekly cycle? Why listen to Prince of course!
I was lucky enough to see Prince perform at the North Charleston Coliseum back in 2011. He was one of the only performers that could announce a show two weeks prior and sell out a coliseum. The show was fantastic, I mean it started off with "Let's Go Crazy" so how could you go wrong? One of my favorite parts of the show happened before the one they call Purple even hit the stage. I was in line getting a beer (and probably some popcorn) and a voice came over the house intercom all over the Coliseum and it was Prince. He politely said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Prince." He then went on to advise us to call our next of kin because "you were about to witness a miracle." Best..intro...ever! I've been a fan ever since I saw the "When Doves Cry" video on MTV as a kid. I also still watch the Purple Rain movie at least once a year (that's what the below clip is from) Worth checking out while we're on lock down if you haven't seen it. It was hard to believe the news when he passed but he was able to leave quite an imprint on this world. We've all been hit with some heavy news as of late so do yourself a favor, take a break and crank up this tune or watch the video below and celebrate today...even if it's a Tuesday. Till next time...
