Beautiful! Your heartfelt tribute to Prince is quite touching. A few days ago, I watched a music video for Purple Rain (the song Let’s go Crazy) and seriously his gorgeous joyfulness cheered me up, even in spite of everything. His fearless capacity to change or evolve throughout his creative life, the joyful defiance against being boxed in to one category, the sense of liberation in transcending any specific genre box, his tender softness and open sensuality, these things make me smile and they offer us a glowing light of hope. Your respect and admiration for Prince shines through in your beautiful writing; I feel that same kind of love for art and music inside my bones. I wish that Prince could still be here with us. His music and creative legacy will always stay alive inside our hearts and memories. Rest in power, Prince of purple skies and radiant light. Thank you for sharing this poignant, tender homage to the art of Prince.
