friday night i bore witness to the most entertaining show i've ever seen.

prince.

the guy put on a 2 1/2 hour, 32 song show that was simply amazing. from opening with a dance medley of the early hits to powerful acoustic versions of little red corvette and raspberry beret to the sonic finish of purple rain that blew the roof off the aac.

even featured glimpses of his newly refreshed spirituality. to wit, altering the lyrics to "i would die 4 u" this way: "he's your messiah, and you're the reason why."

he is a guitar virtuoso and the ultimate showman.

if you get a chance to see him on this tour, go. (and invite me.)
