I've been too busy to "Turn it up!"

Possibly his funkiest song...ever.

I remember when I saw the movie Contact back when it came out an interesting fact stuck with me. On November 4th, 1982, the star Vega was discovered. And according to the movie, that was the solar system that they found life on. Prince was predicting all kinds of futures on that album!

You can dance if you want to...

You can leave your friends behin... Oh, wait.

In New York

You can cut off all your hair
I don't think they'd care


In New York

I've been doing this for the past 2 years at The Crawl. Hey handclaps ... looka at the alt tag on the skyline. you read my mind.

a few years back i was standing on a roof top about to JUMP... and i was praying to God... and asking him for HELP. i had on my walkman and listening to 1999... my Life was what i cannot write in this form at this time... but it was pretty dark. all of a sudden the track comes on... Im crying looking over the edge knowning that any second i would be in a free fall. this track comes on and into my brain there is this voice that says...


"its time for new direction its time for Jaz to die 4th day of Nov we need a purple high.... don't give up ill still love u... all the critic love u in New york..."

it was like the voice of God that said this to me, it wasn't it was Prince.. and i back away...
on the 3rd night i ran away. and i came to New York City...

This Song Saved my Life and because of this I feel as though I owe Prince everything and for some of you who know me u may understand why... I will never give up because i know that no matter what He will still love me

so every Nov 4 I Look 4 The Purple High

can U see it?

Jaz
using The Electric Purple


I love u Prince in New York

He has a way of honing in on your heart and just reeling you in, doesn't he?

my fav bit of the song!

although it does have a very nasty abusive
relationship/powertrip tone to it as in
"you're shit, but I still like you anyway".

anywho, I like it, it's one of the things
i miss in his later tunes, his ability to
just relax and say stuff in such a funky
and cool style without making a whole big
holler fest of the line.

"don't give up, I still love you"

a line that is open to many interpretations,
as is the way he says it, the tone, the argh
i think i had a bit too much coffee again
today
