since I found it. "She's always in my Hair"... the extended mix, just might be my favorite Prince b-side.
"Moonbeam Levels" is also an excellent unreleased song. |

Been listening to Purple Rain, 1999 and Parade today.
I think "I Would Die 4 U" might be my all time favorite Prince song. Haven't heard it in a while, and I bumped that Bitch today and it's just out of this world. It has the urgency of Springsteen, or peak Arcade Fire, but it's not whitewashed bullshite, so it's better than either of those things. Plus that synth! |

The night after Prince died, Spike Lee organized a "block party" in Brooklyn to celebrate the man's music. Some CNN reporter on the scene called that hit song "I'll Die For You". Earlier that day, Wolf Blitzer called Prince's hugest hit "Purple Haze". Multiply that for the whole amount of news they report on and, potentially, in the worst case scenario, every goddamn thing they say could be incorrect. And, relatively speaking, CNN (well, CNN International, which is the one I watch) is one of the less fucked-up major networks there is!

Holy fuck, are you fucking serious? That is utterly shameful for SO many reasons. First of all, "Purple Rain" wasn't even a #1 single, so there's no way it qualifies as one of his hugest hits in the technical sense. If Wolfy was talking about the album, then yes, of course, but he still got the name wrong. Not to mention the fact that you'd have to be a goddamn mummified corpse to not know the immediately that "Purple Haze" is Hendrix. This displays not only a lack of knowledge about Prince, but a lack of knowledge about pop culture in general that is frankly disturbing for someone Blitzer's age. And it's just a crime against art to leave out the "4 U," but I'd forgive it if that was the only part of the song's title they got wrong. How fucking absurd. |

real talk:
It's weird. Y'all know Tribe has been my favorite hip hop group since I was like 13. When Phife died, all I wanted to do was listen to Tribe. Celebrate that music. When Prince died, I wanted the world to go away. I wanted everyone to stop talking. I wanted to stop thinking about it. The only Prince music I've subjected myself to since was watching the SNL special. And I was teared up during the first performance. Ugh.

It's been emotional for me, certainly, especially certain songs, like "Sometimes it snows in April" and "IWD4U." But I've been banging the hell out of Prince since his passing. I've always played Sign "O" pretty regularly, but I've been going back to Parade, 1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, and others just to celebrate the fuck out of the man's music, rather than taking to Facebook to post half assed tributes like the rest of the world seems to be doing. |

everyone took Prince for granted.
My wife was watching an interview that Prince did with Oprah and he was at a piano and she asked him what the first song he learned on the piano was, and he smiled and started playing the Batman TV show theme song....

You should only take them from a doctor, but I get your point. Of course, it is possible to take pain medication, sedatives and other dependency causing and potentially addictive medications without killing oneself, or even taking them to excess. And it's yet to be proven that pk's had anything to do with his passing. But apparently he was about to undergo some kind of medical intervention for opioid addiction on the day he died (yeah, I read pitchfork more than I wish I did). |

(I'm not sure whether this pic is the real deal or an awfully tacky joke) Prince's Vault Forcibly Opened, Contains Enough Music To Release A New Album A Year For 100 Years Vault Contains A Lot Of Unreleased Music From The 1980s Prince's vault drilled opened and there's enough music to release a new album every year for the next century Unreleased music pre-dates the release of 1984's Purple Rain

Yeah, careful indeed. In fact I believe there should be age limits and/or educational courses to accompany the long term prescribing of addictive medications. Maybe it sounds silly, but I truly believe that a lot of people get into situations like this without knowingly doing anything "wrong." There's a pretty common misconception even among some doctors that taking opioid based medications "as prescribed" and "for their prescribed use" can somehow protect people from addiction, but nothing could be further from the truth, and I actually would like doctors to start giving people a realistic description of what can and will happen to their bodies if they take the medications for any period longer than a couple of days (e.g. dependency, tolerance, mood and judgement impairments, etc.) I myself have an ongoing prescription for pain medications that I was given after a car accident and several surgeries, and I have never taken more than the prescribed amount. I have insisted on taking the lowest dose possible and still, I have to be ever-vigilant about monitoring my pain levels realistically, because life is hard, euphoria feels nice, and I could decide at any moment to double up on my dose because of a pain "flare up" or a really bad day. It can happen to anyone, and I don't think most people have the knowledge or maturity going in to understand what's at stake if they pursue that euphoria. Just taking the almost ridiculously low dose I do take makes my body dependent on the medications, so I've been working with a doctor to find other, safer, ways to help my pain issues. In fact, I think one of the only reasons I'm able to self-monitor as I do is because in my first couple years of college, I did just about every drug under the sun, so I know what it feels like to go through the nasty end of this. And I value my life enough that I'm not willing to put it in jeopardy (again). But the only reason I see things that way is because I've kind of already been there. Many people who find themselves with scripts for morphine, methadone, dilaudid, even Percocet and vicodin don't understand what they're getting into, and that's why I'd rather see these drugs prescribed in concert with multifaceted informational/educational workshops that are required for taking the medication for any period longer than 5 days. It's just not worth it. I'm actually starting physical therapy again... even started taking yoga... just to see if that helps with my pain, and will allow me to stop taking this shit. I think about this a lot, to be honest. It breaks my heart to think that opioids were involved in Prince's death. I've lost several friends to drugs, and it's just crushing. I didn't know Prince, but I don't want anyone to go through that kind of suffering. |

We have the technology and knowledge of neurochemistry to handle long term chronic pain without the use of narcotics, by using microscopic brain and spine implants that use minor electronic pulses to do the same thing painkillers do without any risk of dependsncy, addiction, overdose or diversion/sale of controlled substances.
It's what our top scientists should be spending their time on — instead of developing new variations on the same opiate based chemical drugs, with this tweak or that tweak to make them sound safer. |
