Prince
“I Wanna Be Your Lover”/”Head”
Live in NYC, 3/22/1981
I refuse to believe that you have something better to do with 14 minutes of your time than to watch this remarkable footage of a very young Prince absolutely killing it on two of his best early tunes. I mean, this version of “Head”… seriously, so wonderful! I can only speak about this in breathless superlatives!Matthew Perpetua gets it. Joel Weidl gets it. Justin Nawman gets it. I get it.
Truth. I get it.

Fuckers.

my tired stories.We both act intrigued

The tick-tock machine upstairs won’t shut down.
It is a restless moment.
She has kept her head lowered,
to give him a chance to come closer.
But he could not, for lack of courage.
She turns and walks away.
That era has passed.
Nothing that belonged to it exists any more.
He remembers those vanished years.
As though looking through a dusty window pane,
the past is something he could see, but not touch.
And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.
Remember…films, not movies.
