That's WHY

Articulate, I ain't...

Just do this...

Watch the original 'First Avenue' performance of "Purple Rain" for the umpteenth time.

Classic intro. Extra verse. Prince loves U.

Then, watch the movie performance, which U've prabably seen 1,000,000 X's umpteenth.

Then go watch the 1985 American Music Awards rendition.

WHO'S NEXT?!!

Prost!

(google it!)

Why?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

What were other moments that made you stick to this program?

Surely it wasn't just his clothing?!!

Prost!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Your thread title has nothing to do with your thread.

I am asking why I should do what you said. Like I haven't seen all those things before.

I've seen the fan process evolve many different ways since i've been here.

But this one has really set the bar (for me anyway).

In order of the original post...

A creation

A re-creation

A performance

WOW!

That's WHY!

Prost!

I could be way off, but I gather what the OP is really saying is "That's WHY I stay a fan"

ie. amidst the craziness and the nonsense (not sure if that's aimed exclusively at the fansites, or the Prince camp as well), is there one defining 'thing', that reminds you of why you're still here.

For him, it's apparently the artistic process that went from creation (1st Ave performance of PR), to re-creation (movie version) to performance (music awards) - three considerably different depictions/deliveries of the one song.

I daresay that all three were technically performances, but I get the gist of what he's saying.

For me, I don't think there's any one thing. There's so much to enjoy biggrin

(apologies if I'm way off the mark!)

You're a genius! You must be an interpreter or multi-lingual or multi-cultural or something. Probably you're a really good listener too. Thanks for clearing up this post. Now that I understand what he's talking about, I can promptly start to forget it...

You are using a german keyboard - that's why the Y and Z and mixed up (because there's more Zs in german than Ys). But it makes you sound drunk and that you are zelling, instead of yelling. smile

Unless he diligently updates his org profile whenever he travels, I think it's more likely he's German, using an english keyboard wink

Now I'll let you get back to forgetting this thread razz
