PurpleRainInThePark

I saw this pic yesterday, but didn't realize it was recent.








The city of Chicago presents a series called Millennium Park Summer Movies and at this Tuesday evening event, purple was the color of choice. Purple Rain was on the big screen and every seat was filled. Every blade of grass was covered with a lawn chair, table and wine glasses. The guitar solo from “Let’s Go Crazy” drove the crowd into a frenzy. Every song that played was a sing-a-long. Even Morris Day’s character got cheers. People were literally dancing in the aisles. You would think this was a live concert. Everyone from 8 to 80 years of age was representing every nationality and every race. Chicago came together to celebrate the Purple One and decided to watch a movie together. It felt good. It felt right.

The natural hell... and I /live/ in Chicago. I didn't even know.

I imagine myself inside your bedroom; oh, I imagine myself in your sky.

This post and the photos made my day. Pictures like these really capture the unity and love that Prince's music generated in people, and the love for Prince and his music that brings people together...people of all ages, races, everything. Prince would've been proud.
