My sons best friend since middle school who had a very unstable home life and spent a lot of his jr high and high school years living at our house has a two year old son and I am considered to be his mawmaw . This morning at two a.m . We welcomed his sister into the world , so I got a new granddaughter for Princes Birthday .
Momma was saying after the birth how she was glad she waited until 6/7/16 to be born as she didn't like the numbers 6/6/16 and her daughter being born on D-day .
She liked the idea of her daughter being born on Prince Day and so did I !

I ended up making a couple of photo montages of my fave pics from the epic 150 page plus photo thread. I did one that's just pics of him smiling and it made me really happy to see a page of his smiling faces biggrin I did another that was more moody/arty/thoughtful black and white pics which is cool cool I love photography so it made me feel good to celebrate him that way.

I painted the shed door purple (wanted to do the front door but wasn't allowed sad ), played his music all day. My daughter chose to listen to It Ain't Over (live) whilst making a drawing of Prince after school (I posted a photo of it in the other Birthday thread). It is hard because I still miss him more than ever but I tried to stay in good spirits and enjoy the sunny day. I hope everyone else had a good Prince Day.

It's been an amazing day. I received an extra scholarship from my university, a birthday present arrived, and my boss gave me positive feedback for my work smile When was waiting at a train station, an elderly couple passing by giggled at me, maybe cause they saw the love symbol on my arm. Perhaps some jealousy biggrin I believe Prince made it happen as a reward for my admiration :yes:

And I'm listening to Prince all day while working. Lol. I'll gladly trade with you because I would rather be home or out somewhere celebrating.

Here in Australia, it's just a few hours from June 7. I will be wearing purple, and listening to his music all day. I am having a day off reading anything about his death. I just want to celebrate him and his enduring legacy - his music. What are you doing or what do you plan to do?

Listening to detroit cobo arena june 7th 1986... all day long.

Wearing purple... But I kinda always do.

Listening to Prince. I think I will make pancakes in the shape of the LoveSymbol for dinner. I think I'll watch Purple Rain, maybe UTCM after. I've seen GB and SOTT since he passed but not the other two.

It's cold and dreary here so I'm really bumming around.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

In honor of Prince half my office all wore a shade a purple. To respect their privacy I won't post the photo but it was heart warming to see all ages, ethnicities wearing varying shades of purple in support of Prince.

Shows just how far his reach still is and will ever be.

I'm making this the last day I smoke a cigarette -- I've been a smoker for about 10 years. About time I let my lungs return to health. Maybe at some point I'l be able to play a saxophone again.

Drink a glass of water anytime you want a cigarette, helps get the nicotine out of your system faster and helps the cravings... Also keep a pen in your hand.

Great way to celebrate! Good luck to you smile

I've been watching the video playlist on BET Soul since about 2pm. I plan to watch Graffiti Bridge and UTCM broadcast late tonight. I've got the Rave unto 2000 concert cued up. What I really wanted to do was buy my kids an instrument today (keyboard).

And I've got my Paisley print dress on. I love Prince, miss him dearly today and always...

Listen to me closely as the story unfolds
This could be the saddest story ever been told....

All in purple today. But dammit I forgot my hat, I could've wore it while driving around since I can't wear it at work. Loooooving 92.5 today, they're playing Prince music they've never played before. Giving back history on him and everything. They're so awesome, and I know they love Prince. I even got my tix for the Hornblower Purple Cruise in July.

Met some dear old friends who happen to be Prince fans as well and we went to see a Prince tribute concert featuring various artists. They all gave very different renditions of Prince´s classic material ( like , for example, a Rockabilly version of Purple Rain or I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man sung in some Low German dialect, which was....well....interesting. wink

I usually don´t like Prince covers but we had great fun, the artists gave their best, some of it was unintentionally funny while there were also some heartfelt , passionate moments....they gave a good rendition of A Love Bizarre and Purple Rain , and one singer played an acoustic guitar and sung a really good interpretation of Cinnamon Girl, a very underrated gem of a song , in my humble opinion.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Listening to his music and crying all over again, that had subsided in the last week but the tears are back today. So, pretty much what I've been doing since April 21st. I still can't bring myself to wear purple as a tribute for some reason that breaks my heart even more.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams. . .
