Purple Rain
An album review, a playlist.
Darling Nikki shouts, "Baby I'm a Star!" She covets The Beautiful Ones by displaying carnal, erotic intentions.
Computer Blue and When Doves Cry, emanates poetic mastery.
So, Take me with U and Let's go crazy while unraveling Purple Rain. It's sublime, cohesive, polyphonic perfection. Prince, I would die 4 you!

Authors note: In case you never knew the meaning behind the title Purple Rain, here it is from the man himself. R.I.P
When there’s blood in the sky – red and blue = purple… purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain. -Prince
Thank you for stopping by. 😍

Hamilton
In 2015, a breakout performance pushed the envelope. Hamilton is optimistic, impassioned and quite entertaining, winning dozens of awards including the coveted Pulitzer Prize for drama. Miranda's depiction, centers around the rise of Alexander Hamilton. It's wide range of musical genres and unique characterizations will leave you in breathless awe.

Mister Rodger's Neighborhood
Who remembers watching 'Mister Rodger's Neighborhood' as a child? This was one of my favorites back in the late 60's before heading off to school at six years of age. My favorite part of the show was when he would take us to the Neighborhood of Make Believe and my favorite two characters in that land of make believe was Daniel, Striped Tiger who lived in a clock and Lady Elaine Fairchild, a puppet that owned the merry-go-round museum. Actually, I believe I had my first crush on Lady Amberline, King Friday's human niece. Other parts of the program that were fun was when Fred would go in the backyard and either do experiments or activities with a sand or water table. There was a picture on the wall that showed film strips and I think it was called Picture picture. Oh yeah, who could forget Mr. McFeely, Chef Brocket, and a few other characters from the human neighborhood on field trips throughout the neighborhood. This was a show that taught children many social skills and prepared them for kindergarten. Please comment any memories of this program that you may have.

Came back to read this as I was perusing through your library. Red +blue = purple. Grew up with this song and never put that together. Such a talent, gone.
Very, very clever Lamar. And executed perfectly.
Cool critique!! Great job! And thanks for explaining the song title..I’d actually never thought of its meaning but I love that. Congrats on your top story too Lamar and leaderboard recognition. 😊
Fantastic job with this, Lamar! Honestly, I didn't really listen to his music for a long time, because my daughter and all of her friends were instantly obsessed. I burnt out after the first few days. I adapted eventually and realized the genius in the lyrics. Congratulations, my friend! Well deserved.
I love what you did here. One of my favourite songs ever is, "When Doves Cry." Congrats on Top Story.
This is amazing! Love what you did with the song titles! 💜 and congrats on the TS!
Congrats on your TOP STORY!
It is good to have you here because you make me to my early age
Too bad the majority of "musicians" lack the depth of thought and measured complexity shown in this single ageless work. We may never see another maestro like Prince Rogers Nelson. Here's to modern "music" Great post about a great artist! 👍
We lost a musical gift when he passed. This was terrific and covered who he was and the movie itself. Congratulations
Congrats on well deserved top story 💜
I did not know the meaning behind the title. Album takes me back - 1980's 💜 Who knew then it was a simpler time.
Awesome!!! Loving it!!! Congratulations too!!!
Congratulations Lamar! Well deserved 😄
Excellent work. Looking forward to reading more!
