...but these guys were on Letterman last night and they really blew me away, they're called Purple Reign and I think they are awesome. :thumbsup:

By the way, Purple Reign used to play the Boardwalk Casino in Vegas for free on a bihourly basis.

4. Video no longer available (predictably)...
...but in any case, I can no longer get it up for Prince. The guy's more paranoid than Nixon. It undermines, severely, my former appreciation for his classic work in the '80s. I used to think he was the heir to Hendrix. But he hasn't been relevant in almost 20 years. I think the dude is mentally ill, and is surrounded by "yes"-men exclusively. He's about a half step above Michael Jackson, in my book.

5. He went straight from artistically eccentric to batshit crazy.
And it didn't take long.
