Thanks, Rogifan. It remains one of the best tributes I've read. And yes, we need more of this in the world.

Yep, from April 22, 2016--that's why he said it wasn't new. What I thought was interesting was that this was by Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone's main political contributor. I hadn't actually seen it before, and I thought I'd seen all of their coverage from that period. I guess I was distracted enough by Prince's death that I missed following Taibbi at the time, which I usually check every few days.

Thank you Rogifan. I loved this. "He wasn't selling himself just music..." He knew It wasn't just about him that night. The writer got what he was trying to do...

"He started with himself. He apologized, and then he tried to make things better the only way he knew how, by using his extraordinary gifts to make beautiful things."

.

.....Yes, you certainly did just that, Prince; and we will be forever grateful for all the beautiful gifts you you have given all of us. prince heart

.

These words mean more to me now than they ever did. He was trying to tell us all-along to be happy, smiling and laughing. We are trying, Prince, but it's just so damn hard, still. prince cry

.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
