Beck dedication to Prince on June 3rd/tells story about hugging him…

Good story/video about Beck performing at Governor's Ball on June 3rd. He dedicated a portion of his set to Prince and told the story about hugging him at the 57th Grammy Awards and how he felt about it. There's a great picture of the hug in the article and it really made me smile. smile Sorry if this has been posted already, I didn't notice that it had.

I was lucky enought see Beck in Manchester in 2005, great gig, does his own thing, like Prince in that respect.

Awesome that you got to see him. I like Beck too, he's unique and seems like a great human being.

That's very sweet that he had that moment with Prince! I'm glad it went over well. Seemed like Beck was nervous about the whole thing but got him to smile! cloud9 rainbo

Prince actually looks like he could be in pain in that picture with the way he's holding his cane.

I'm glad Beck has this moment to cherish, along with his win (especially in light of the other stuff that went on). I can see Prince having a lot of respect and appreciation for Beck. Very sweet.

Cool stuff...

But I have to say "Debra" is one of the most annoying Prince knockoffs I ever heard...worse than "Oh Sheila"

Cool to read that Beck was still in awe. I can only imagine what those two would have done in the studio together. Beck can be funky when he wants to.

Thanks for sharing that. Prince doesn't look like he minds in that photo so good for Beck for doing what he felt he needed to do. I think we'd all like to give Prince a hug right about now.

"Debra" is my favorite Prince homage ever, although Beck claims he was chanelling 90s loverman R&B in general.
