When Prince died, I sat at the table in disbelief. The following year I wrote this essay about my favorite artist, my late girlfriend Lesley, who was his publicist in the late '90s, and the deepness of 1999: "Love in the Age of Prince." https://magazine.catapult...-of-prince

Very beautiful, and heartfelt story.

Could be even longer for my taste.

Beautifully written from a real men's heart.

You can sense that in these rather restrained masculine words and phrases.
I don't agree, that it's not always just about them (imho).

It is also constantly a out Prince and his music, and the writer's position as a fan that forms a purple thread through this story and their lives.
Very warm to read.
Thank you.
