Prince
Today is the anniversary of his death. I actually cried when it was confirmed 2016, the day before Earth Day I will never forget. Someone from my office said, Google Prince died. Of course I didn't believe it because Prince doesn't die, he'll be clicking heels, slip & sliding and back flipping off of pianos until he's 100.
But that wasn't the case. He was gone. It hurt me so bad because someone with that much talent who can continue reinventing himself, keep producing music, shutting down arenas and still stand alone is amazing.
I don't see anyone defying the standard in that way again. His androgyny display through fashion and singing but still remains masculine and get away with it....DOPE!
The energy he permeated, his persona, the way he spoke, the way he dressed.
Tonight, we remembered Prince by attending this burlesque "Purple Rain" Tribute. It was cool. Some of the dancers were super amateurs. Where there is Prince I will go. Still had fun.
