  1. "When Doves Cry" is a song by American musician #Prince, and the lead single from his sixth studio album #PurpleRain. According to the DVD commentary of the film Purple Rain (1984), Prince was asked by director #AlbertMagnoli to write a song to match the theme of a particular segment of the film that involved Prince's character The Kid's intermingled parental difficulties with his father Francis L. (#ClarenceWilliamsIII) and mother (#OlgaKarlatos).

  2. My wife is having pals over to watch Purple Rain, so I've dug out all my Prince records, CDs and tapes.

    We also found incense and purple lighting. Haha!

    None of us is old enough for this (we're all between 30 and 45).

  9. The 80s didn’t just sing. They belted.

    This week in the Classic 80s Trailer Vault:

    🎷 The Blues Brothers
    ✨ Xanadu
    🏁 Grease 2
    🎸 Purple Rain

    All original trailers. All attitude. All now live.

    And it leads straight into Saturday’s Deep Dive:
    Why Grease 2 is better than Grease.

  10. Bicycled 65K yesterday to Lanesboro.

    Forgot I traded out my studded tires and crashed *up* a hill. I'm fine, bicycles fine. Just embarrassed. Up a hill hydroplaning over water I didn't catch over transparent ice. Studded tires I would have been able to correct, regular tires just slid.

  11. Turns out the last time I was in Minneapolis was to see UM, the weekend of April 29, 2016. Prince had just died, RIP, it's been all downhill since he left us; there was a big memorial. There was also blue sky and a perfect spring weekend, how nature works, as the next picture proves. Where does the time go? Prayers headed your way, Twin Cities.

  13. "I Would Die 4 U" is a song by #Prince and #theRevolution, the fourth single in the US from their 1984 album, #PurpleRain. The up-tempo #dance song was a top 10 hit—the final one from the album—in the US, reaching number 8 on the #BillboardHot100. #CashBox called the song "a practice in restrained ecstasy" in which "Prince delivers one of his finest and most passionate...vocal performances." Billboard called it "electrifying".
