But somehow I’m still here this morning and he’s not – so I’ve got to paint the world around me a little more colorfully and be a little stronger in spreading whatever it is that I contribute outwards so that those ripples may do whatever is needed of them once I’m not. I know times change and I gotta have faith it’ll work itself out how it needs to be. It might just be my sight because I’m set in my ways a bit and not really looking. It was a purple world for a while.įor these young times I can thank Prince, and as a musician and creative artist I can also mourn for another one down with no suitable replacement in sight. Whether his own songs, other people singing his songs (Nothing Compares 2U, Manic Monday, Jungle Love), or other artists trying to fit his mold. And honestly I’ve never in my life partied like it was 1999 (at least I don’t remember it, and I’m sure the statute of limitations has long run out), but I have had some good times to the soundtrack of being young, and for those of the Purple Rain generation like me, a bunch of that was Prince and his circle. It’s great he created it for those who do. I wasn’t a huge fan and honestly didn’t get a lot of the edgier stuff. Though still having 10 years on me I can picture him on a school night with his headphones on under the blanket listening to Hazel play “Maggot Brain” and having his world shift a little too. Many are quick to reference Hendrix in his guitar playing, but as a disciple of Eddie Hazel I recognize more Hazel & Funkadelic in there than Hendrix Experience. He could play anything too – he was his own best band. Prince will be remembered as much for his influence on other artists and music as his own work. It helps that music lives on in others’ CD racks and album crates, in the ones and zeros of data in devices and in the wood and wire of instruments.

I get it, it’s a series of hills and eventually one is bigger than what’s left. Really it’s moment to moment, but that makes it kind of tough to plan trips, enjoy a book, or buy green bananas.
Even considering anything in the second half borrowed time as I do, as a cheating of incredible odds, an astounding feat of engineering and sheer luck, this is just leaving a bit too much sandwich on the plate.

We’ve lost a bus full of artists & players so far in the past six months, but I’ll tell you – this Prince passing at 57 thing, that’s hitting a little too close to home.
