What are you doing for Prince's birthday?

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?

Just remembering him and playing his music. I think he'd like that.

Happy birthday, Prince.

It's already June 7 here in Japan. Prince is 58.

I guess he wouldn't have cared. And for me, it doesn't really matter as he'll be eternally no more than 30 years old in my mind. It feels like he was always working on something every day of the year, so I like to think that every day is a Prince day in some way. Every day is a celebration of his creativity.

Even so, I think I'll be commemorating this day by listening to the classic birthday shows from 84, 85 and 86 in my car. It'll be both joyous and bittersweet.

Working - just like I always have.

I'll be playing his music, watching interviews and videos and wearing my prince necklace that I pretty much haven't taken off since the 21st. So basically the same thing I've been doing every day since he passed. Oh, I'll also be going in for my second session of my P tribute tattoo. Pretty stoked about that.

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜

The radio station here is doing a 24hr tribute, the hits, b-sides and ballads. So I'll support that and whatever else is taking place.

I bought a big ole fancy purple hat, but it's not appropriate for work, so I'm not sure yet. My daughter bought me a symbol necklace I've been wearing everyday already.

Playing some songs at a Prince party. Specifically, "Pink Cashmere" (as background for a poet); "Round and Round" (first time for that one!); "Pop Life" and "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man" (me and a buddy on those); and finally "The Love We make" (can't WAIT to play that one, what a fantastic song!).

The party is going to be huge. We have our own Prince Bat-Signal! Mid-Town Houston is going to be awash in the symbol! And a buddy of mine has asked the mayor to declare tomorrow as Prince Rogers Nelson Day in Houston.

Purple music all day, wearing my white Tour tshirt, sorting Prince pictures, being at one with Prince all day. Reality intrues with work and a meeting of my main stamp club tonight, still the P man will get a mention for today in history at the meeting.

.

New Zealand has the latest time zone in the world, so its 5.39pm America time on June 6 as I type this, but 12.40pm on June the 7th here. It's winter here too, sunrise at 7.20am and sunset at 5.11pm with a chilly high of 16 degrees (60f).

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

maybe watch a couple of concerts and interviews, as i have done most days.

its a weird feeling....i am totally grateful that he was born, lived, and shared his gifts with the world. at the same time, heartbroken. this past week was almost as bad as the week of april 21.

and as strange as it sounds, i will probably talk to him, as i have with others who passed in my life. tell him what he meant to me, what his gifts did for me. maybe on some level, he will hear it. i like to think so.

Going to watch some of his concerts when I get home from work later. Will buy some purple flowers if I can buy some. I'm going to make his birthday a happy day always, a celebration of him, and not a time for me to dwell on his death.

Listening to his music of course (Detroit: 30 years ago 2day & First Avenue gigs), remembering him all day. He gave us so much! RIP.

Tonight I wore Purple, stood out in my pasture looked at all the stars and Thanked Him.

When I am lost and feeling alone
I just look to heaven
I find my comfort there

Unfortunately got to work, but slipping in little touches where I can.

Wearing purple. Wearing my 3121 pefume. Have put 7 olives in my salad for lunch. Just filled my car with £31.21 of petrol. Blasted up beat P songs on the way here. Checking in with the Org of course. pc

Plan to watch Purple Rain this evening (first time since 21.04) with a nice glass of wine. prince
