Should be a fun one!

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Sign O the Times in theaters with closed captions and to say it was an incredible experience is an understatement. Even though I’ve been a Prince friend (not fan, “fans is short for fanatics”) for years, I never made time for this movie. There is too much to say about it, but for those unfamiliar it combines a minimal-plot/dialogue storyline with maximum live concert footage. The crowd seems somewhat lackluster at times throughout (whats up with that?) but the movie still manages to shed light onto the unsurpassed talent and freakmind that is Prince, displaying his true genius, creativity, and talent. I went home and immediately read the "The Prince Zine" by Joshua Amberson, that I had also never made time for, then watched hours of interviews. Prince is a fucking rockstar on guitar but busts out split after split, gets down and up off the ground with such agility it blew my mind.


This movie affirms he is the best performer and artist…ever? Here are some absurd and amazing lines from the album/movie: “Your face is jammin' Your body's heck-a-slammin' If love is good, let's get to rammin'” “I took another bubble bath with my pants on. All the fightin stopped. Next time, I’ll do it sooner”“Would you run to me if somebody hurt you? even if that somebody was me?”"Sheila E. - on the drums not bad… for a girl." “We wanna play in the sunshine, we wanna be free, without the help of a margarita or exstacy”
