What's been your 1 Purple highlight this year?.

The TV appearnces [which one?], the album, the video for Black Sweat, Vegas, being nominated for awards, performing with W&L again etc.

Mine is the SNL Fury performance, when i saw it over at HQ my jaw just dropped, he nailed one his best TV spots ever, looked and sonded great + it was my first time of hearing Fury [it's still the best version available!].

seeing prince and tamar perform in chicago this year and having a sweeeeet standing spot in front of the man. more importantly, having a whole buncha great people show up in chicago for the show (circle of sexxxy forever! drunken whale-tail...NEVER!). i wish one of the sexxxies wouldn't have gotten ill during the evening, but at least she got to be right up there in front to enjoy the whole show.

The Tamar show in Houston. Prince's performance was the single greatest display of musicianship I have ever seen.

I stood in line five hours to see it, and I'd gladly do it again.

The SNL "Fury" performance is a close second. Best TV performance I've ever seen by anyone.

Playing 3121 for the first time with lowered expectations, and then being blown away by the funky as FUCK drum beat of the title track.

it's strange, i listened to the leaked streamed version days before the release and promptly put on a thread slating the CD, soon as I got the proper CD i totally changed my mind!, it's been my CD of the year [next to the Raconteurs!]

I can't do just one, either.

1) Seeing him with Tamar in Minneapolis and getting on stage.
2) Seeing him in Vegas on my birthday and having him hand his guitar down to my friends and me.

cool

The Prince/Tamar concert in Houston in March. Hanging out with the Houston "org-ers" in line to get in for about 5 hours, being on the front row, Prince handing down his guitar to us, catching a sweat towel that Prince threw out into the crowd (I call it the Black Sweat towel with a Target label on it), and ultimately getting pulled up on stage to dance. Loved it!

I think I have had a lot of Purple moments this year:

--When I heard he was going to do the Halftime show at the Superbowl.
--Seeing him on TV at the UK Hall of Fame. (So sexy.)
--Hearing about him winning so many other awards.
--Everytime I bought a P cd.
--Going as a Black Lisa from the Revolution for Halloween. LOL!
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch
