I Want to Make A Best Of Genre List

Help me with the genres and then we'll do the songs.

So far I have:

RnB

Gospel

Rap

Soul

Reggae

Blues

Disco

Rocknroll

Country

Jazz

Dance/ house

Psychedelic

Rockabilly

Funk

Pop

Instrumental

Showtunes

Hardrock/ metal

Punk

Acoustic/ folk

Covers

Experimental/ defies classification?

What am I missing here? I know there is a lot of genre overlap. I'm considering songs that were written as well as performed. Should I have a separate Ballads category? Suggestions appreciated!

Any More Stories of Crazed Fans?

So, Prince talked more than once about this. Different occasions women fans would show up at his home or hotel and refuse to leave. Or the famous trenchcoat lady.

And it sounds very Minnesota and very Prince: talking them through the reality of what theyre doing here, and "okay now, I want you to think about this. How would you feel if a stranger showed up at your house, at your work, and..."

I've heard him talk about a handful of these occasions and bandmates mention 2.

Has anyone else from back in the day seen this?

Legacy

Watched Little Richard, James Brown, Prince with my kid- performances and interviews. She piped up "Prince learned it from them". I thought she meant: Good God! Shut up already! The micstand, crawling on the piano, the glittered hair...

No.
She said theyre all talking about freedom and dignity (this last wasn't her term, but its what she was getting at with examples)

School recently tried to persuade her class to use AI to "make art" (she's an artist and musician). She flat refused. She said, theyre trying to make us sheep in school (I know, baby, I know).

Art is the vehicle for the message, convince these kids to outsource it. Don't think, don't create, we will take care of it for you. Its not just scholastic but artistic too. The smothering.

Anyway, I just wanted to say the legacy isn't lost on the kids. Still inspiring, at least one young lady to dig in her heels.

Someone Asked For Latter Career Shows

Listen on some high quality headphones. If this don't move you to tears you're not human. Someone sent me the original but I cant figure out how to upload it. This sounds slightly less clear, but damn close.

2012 Welcome 2 Australia tour.

"yall gotta help me tonight, SING TO ME"

"Play Cassie." queue screams

I'd give at least a few toes for well shot video of this show.

Coming 2 America

Yall I just watched Coming 2 America.

And they did a routine to Gett Off.

And yall it got me choked up because Eddie and Arsenio wanted their friend represented in their movie. I remember Arsenio being so upset when Sinead was talking bs after Prince died. I had to walk out the room cause I just saw like a reel all those snippets of them: Eddie wearing his Prince tshirt, singing his praises, Arsenio just happy as a clam having him on the show every time talking about their exploits, Prince making jokes about both of them in interviews. Their valentine's stories and basketball and Rick James and being neighbors.

And I know they had to pay for that song.

They represented their friend.

It moved me so.

Is anyone else here going to the show Friday 6/5? I couldn't pass up the chance. I wonder if Miguel is doing a separate set, or is he doing vocals and being backed? Maybe they'll take turns idk

What are your particular favorite looks for this guy? I like his more rocknroll, rough around the edges look towards the end, and the lovesexy/ batman era. And the only time ive seen him in tails is in UTCM but it suited him.

Everyone is just stunning. Candy looks like my mom at that age. I never realized Patrice was so small, of course Prince liked her- skilled, pretty, and about his size, bet he was infatuated

In Lowry/ Whittier or Tangletown. At least 1k sf. With outdoor space (balcony, patio, or yard). Accepts cats. Is clean. Less than 2k.

I really want to stay close to caffetto and leaning tower, so I can keep my routine.

Or Tangletown so Im close to the theater.

I know its a long shot here.

Trying to avoid Lynlake.

I'm so tired of looking. A man just showed me a literal closet and called it an office. Another man told me the visibly mold infested bathroom was unavoidable in this climate. I'm talking about on the ceiling, on the walls. And a third man basically fabricated the dimensions of every room. The house was bout 2/3 as big as listed. I measured cause it didnt look right. Missing five hundredish square feet.

But I digress.
