Cyprus Avenue spotlights Prince, 8/15 at 1pm and 7pm CDT. Not sure whether this will be available to stream, but here's the showlist for KCUR-89.3's Cyprus Avenue, hosted by Bill Shapiro.
Prince takes to the Cyprus Avenue stage
The show is syndicated, but I was not able to find a list of broadcast affiliates online. You might try tunein. | |

So...what happened... I pulled it up and meant to listen, but while waiting, I pulled up my music player and started listening to tunes and forgot all about it till it was over. | |

There were a few unfortunate misstatements about dates/sequences (e.g., Purple Rain was initially described as a 1982 album, host said that two years elapsed between Purple Rain and Parade with nothing in between -- apparently forgot about ATWIAD/Raspberry Beret, etc.). But overall, highlighted important accomplishments and brought attention to two songs often overlooked by the general public (The Future and Colonized Mind).
The most interesting part was the host's observation that Prince is on the money with his commentary regarding the death of albums as a medium for real music.
(He referenced the "recent" Arsenio Hall interview, so apparently this was a re-broadcast.) | |
