Return to old-school sexy Barry White/Al Green territory with—who else?—Prince. I'm not sure what I think of the new album yet, but I loooove this song.
I saw Prince in concert on his "Purple Rain" tour, which is maybe more about my age than you want to know. (I was young. Very young. Fetal, practically.) That show blew me away, and I've been a fan ever since. What a brilliant little man.

"Artists can find inspiration in the unlikeliest places. Musician Anne Watts, of the band Boister, has been influenced by the time she spent volunteering in a mental institution -- and by the odds things kids say." See above link
Saw this and thought you might find this interesting. Inspiration is in the eye of the beholder. Glad to see that you have been feeling so much better. It is tough to wait for those d@mn meds. A bit like waiting for Godot.

That makes me want more . I know his new one got "rave" reviews in Rolling Stone.
When my husband and I went to see Purple Rain we stumbled out of the theatre in a daze. How could anything be so cool?
My 21 year old son rented it last year when he was living at home. Between dropped jaws I was laughing outloud. Never have the eighties been so in my face, remembering as I did, how utterly hip it looked back then.
I've really got to listen to this new one. I need to get that Purple Rain movie taste out of my mouth.
