Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life... and learn about one of pop music's biggest icons, Prince! His legendary film and soundtrack album Purple Rain dominated the mid-80s, whether he was tearing up the dance charts with When Doves Cry or triggering a congressional hearing full of parental outrage for Darling Nikki! We'll talk about the creation of the film, the whereabouts of his motorcycle, his legendary halftime show, and the unbelievable amount of music that's still in the vault! The Mixtaper has tales of smells, smoke, and spaghetti... get your toilets ready. Baby, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince (aaaand currently known as Prince, too) is a Star.. so Let's Go Crazy this week!
