hey bebbe... I saw the purple one himself in october... he played for 3 HOURS!!! it was a jam session.. he played so long he didnt have time to do purple rain with the symbol guitair at the end but it was well worth it...
we were off our heads.. 6 rows from the front.. and I cried twice it was so fucking magical... it rocked... it is seriously the best concert i've ever been to in my whole life.....
I remember the first time I heard "Sexy MF" was in a strip club in San Francisco. Funny, there are certain songs that you when you hear them you feel like you are in a wiggle club. I think there was some Black Crowes song that so many dancers played back then that whenever I hear it now I reach in my trousers for some dollars.
Unfortunately most of the strip clubs around here have lousy music and even the underground clubs I have gone too have really lame music too.
Oh man, that 's sad. Its nice you can focus on the good times so intenty and remember them all crystal clear and such. My life seems to degenerate in to this fog...
I'm in Seattle man. Will be visiting NYC in the spring!
THE BALLAD OF DOROTHY PARKER!
i have a slight prince obsession, i own hundreds of bootlegs, b-sides and alternate/live versions. anything you want baby, just me know! i always loved him since i was a little girl and my mom used to play him. i didnt have the full on prince thing i met until my abusive-assed ex who was also had a prince thing & he'd be really mean to me and i'd zone out to prince. so when i finally got him out of my life i decide i was getting something good out of that fucker and it was prince! oh how i love him. i saw him a couple years ago and he kept doing the splits repeatedly until my pubic area started hurting.
anyways, i love your beautiful stories i wish you would tell them more. they are the best. and you rock too. a lot.
My friend Joe is seriously obsessed with Prince. He is a great, great singer (joe) and his attitude is always, "If I can't be the greatest singer of all time like Prince then whats the point?" So modest he is.
I really loved this journal for some reason, I'm pretty sure it had to do with the trip down memory lane. It reminds me of when I was younger and into that scene.
when I was in junior high school one of the teachers played the movie "purple rain" in class. some of the parents found out that a movie with a sex scene got played and complained to the school board. The teacher ended up getting fired like a week later
prince rocks.
i have a 'cream' memory, too.
it was the beginning of my first year of high school and i was hanging out with all these girls i sort of just met.. they were real click-y girls.. cheerleader-gone-bad types. we were all waiting for it to be time to go to the woods and get drunk with all the boys. that was the first and only time i really ever hung out with them. the boy in the woods, tho.. we had an on-again-off-again smooching affair for years. he was so intense.
