Since the acknowledgment of time, years, birthdays etc is frowned upon by the Paisley Establishment, lets reflect not on age, but songs as June 7th approaches.

*

55 Prince songs you love. Start with what jumps right off the top of your head and add as you come up with more. Go past 55, I'm certain that many of us can.

Still Waiting

DMSR

Oh yes....this is everyone's own personal list. No need to critique others' choices.
