I choked up big time today because I had never seen that before. It was hours after his passing and she nailed it. The fact that our Prince was honored on the senate floor on 1/21/16 makes me so proud of him.

Yes, I just welled up watching that. Prince was just the very best in so many ways. Makes me happy he stayed in his hometown and state and is so beloved by them. What did she say - the superstar next door?

Awesome, thank you for posting that.

Loathe her. Sorry.

Co-sign on everything you said above.

Thanks for posting this, I had never seen this before.

“If Prince can do a halftime show in all that rain, I can do this in the snow,” Klobuchar joked.


"Thank you Dudley D., who traveled with Prince for many years, Sounds of Blackness, Rabbi Zimmerman… Thank you friends from around the country, from greater Minnesota, the suburbs, and yes the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul."

That part is especially touching, moving and so inspiring.

And it´s so true, too. Very often , when I´m confronted with obstacles in life, I remember my heroes and ask myself what they would do, and Prince is definitely the most inspiring person I´ve ever come across in my life. There are a couple more but nobody even comes close to Prince as far as inspiration and motivation are concerned.

Absolutely. "Can you make it rain harder?" is the perfect answer to obstacles.

One of my favorite movies is "Rocky III" and my favorite scene is the rematch with Mr. T, when Rocky keeps telling him, "C'mon! Hit me harder, champ! My mother hits harder than that! COME ON!"

I swear, I could run through a brick wall every time I watch that.

Back in the day I probably watched that one a hundred times or more. I love Rocky 1, 2, 3, and 6 a lot. And I think it was unfair not to give Sly Stallone an Academy Award for Creed I. He was great in that one, too.

Watched her speech, hubby even said it was great and noticed the purple campaign sign she had on the podium.
