Sweet shade….

bet-awards-prince-tributeAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  The ‘that’ is in reference to Madonna’s Prince tribute performance   at the Billboard awards yesterday. No, of course I didn’t watch it, I don’t watch TV, but I caught a clip of it on Dlisted. Awful. But I knew it would be. She was the wrong choice. There was even a petition online against her being the sole performer for such a tribute.

So now BET is going to do one and PLEASE DO IT RIGHT!!! Include artists he worked with the most like Sheila E, Wendy & Lisa, Jill Jones, The Time, his old band members from Madhouse, the Revolution, New Power Generation, etc, etc. THEY were close to him, THEY knew his sound, THEY were apart of it. Yeah, yeah, I know they aren’t considered ‘relevant’ by some, but it’s not a fucking popularity contest! This is the ONLY way a Prince tribute can be done RIGHT.

And of course, people being people, and the internet being what it is….are making the BET advertisements into a race thing. *sigh*  But they’ve thrown the shade, so now they better get it right.

(PS–Team Sheila E….always!)

So much so….

Did you ever watch Six Feet Under on HBO?  Yeah, I know, it’s an old show (and that’s about the last time I watched TV…years ago!  lol).  I watched the whole series when it was on and I still remember this profound scene:

Perhaps that seems a little heavy, but it’s been kind of a weird (sad) week.

Finally back up!

My hosting company had a network outage going on from Friday evening until about an hour ago. So My site was down and I couldn’t access My emails either. All is working again though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :-(

Holy shit!  Are you fucking kidding Me 2016???  First David Bowie and now PRINCE???

My mom actually just called Me to break the news. I thought she was joking. I just sat down to eat lunch and I hadn’t made it over to Dlisted yet, which sure enough, it’s at the top of the page right now. I am major bummed the fuck OUT right now.  🙁

When I was younger, I was a big Prince fan, loved his music. But as I got older and he got more into his Jehovah Witness stuff, I kind of lost interest. But I still love his classic stuff (even named one of My clips after one of My favorite Prince songs) and I have a lot of music from other artists he helped/worked with. Wendy & Lisa, Jill Jones, Madhouse, Vanity 6, Vanity, Apollonia 6, Apollonia, The Time and various others. He was incredibly talented and why the FUCK is 2016 taking the good ones??!!!

So I have a little Prince story….TRUE story. This happened in maybe the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Can’t remember. But, I was at Cheapo records in Uptown Minneapolis. I had My little list of hard to find cd’s that I was looking for and funnily enough, they were mostly some of the artists I mentioned above. Yeah, I had them on cassette (I’m old—I know!  lol), but I wanted the cd versions.  I was browsing in the R&B section, didn’t find anything, so I looked up to turn around and I couldn’t believe My eyes!!  About 15 feet from Me was fucking PRINCE!!!!!!!!  He had his head down, looking though cd’s (also in the R&B section). There was a younger woman with him who was wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts. She was dressed so casually next to him. He was wearing a long sleeve tunic top and matching flowing pants. On his feet were platform boots and he was so TINY.

Seriously, I thought I was gonna die!!  LOL  I looked around the store and no one was bugging him or anything, so I knew I had to be cool.  haha  (I would have been anyway.)  I went over to the person I was there with and I told him  “OMG-That is PRINCE over there!!”. He was not a Prince fan, lol, and he didn’t believe Me. I went over to a Cheapo employee and said “That’s Prince over there, isn’t it?” And he confirmed it. I kept My distance and trying not to be obvious watching him. Shortly after he bought something and left. I also bought something and asked the cashier “That WAS Prince, right?” Yup. And that’s the closest I ever got to the Purple One. *sigh*

Holy fuck this makes Me SAD!  🙁

RIP-PrinceUpdate:  These Prince gifs are giving Me LIFE though!  🙂   We are talking about a man who had songs like Erotic City, Scarlett Pussy, Sexy MotherFucker, Cream, Come, Jack U Off, Gett Off, Soft & Wet, etc, etc. He oozed SEX and I loved him for it!  lol

Awwww….a RAINBOW appeared over Paisley Park today after the news of his passing.

One more thing…

I updated My SERVE page this weekend. I think that page is going to be constantly evolving over time. I much prefer to expand on My thoughts of serving Me via video clips than text as I feel they have a better impact that way. But the text version is necessary.
