@rich_aed04 I Never Said It Was Irrelevant. So If You Can Acknowledge Verse 27 Being About A Specific Group Of People and Reason, Why Exclude 26 From That Argument? People Get Tattoos For One Reason It Another. Perhaps Good and Bad, but To Say It's A Sin Isn't True

@rich_aed04 I Don't Disagree, But It Looks Like You Cut The Hair On The Side Of Your Head and The Edges Of Your Beard Like Verse 27 Says Not To. I'm Sure You Wear Different Fabrics Like Verse 19 Advises Against. Reading Verses Without Studying The Context Provides Misinterpreted Messages

The more I read about this man, the more I’m confused about why people worship him, much less a whole movement or what about him spoke to liberating black people.

I feel like there’s a big part of his story I’m missing but idk where to get it.

Ten years ago Prince passed away at the age of 57.

Here’s Prince performing "Purple Rain" in Syracuse (1985)

Absolutely brilliant. Watch the whole performance, you won't regret it.

[Rock'n Roll of All @rocknrollofall]

Origins of Purple Rain,

Purple Rain' was originally written as a country song, and was intended to be a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.

According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince, with a request to write the lyrics, but she felt overwhelmed by the task.

She later said: "I listened to it and I just got scared. I called him back and said, 'I can't do it. I wish I could. It's too much for me.'"

Prince then asked his backing band to try the song: "I want to try something before we go home. It's mellow."

According to Lisa Coleman, Prince changed the song dramatically after Wendy Melvoin started playing the guitar to accompany the song: "He was excited to hear it voiced differently. It took it out of that country feeling.

"Then we all started playing it a bit harder and taking it more seriously. We played it for six hours straight and by the end of that day we had it mostly written and arranged."

Prince's explanation on the meaning of 'Purple Rain':

"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."

After recording the song, Prince phoned Journey member Jonathan Cain, to ask him to listen to it.

Prince was concerned that it might be too similar to Journey's 'Faithfully', a song composed by Cain which had recently been in the US charts.

However, Cain reassured Prince by saying that the songs only shared the same four chords.

"I thought it was an amazing tune," Cain said. "I told him, 'Man, I'm just super-flattered that you even called. It shows you're that classy of a guy. Good luck with the song. I know it's gonna be a hit.'"

Ladies and gentlemen,

Be this bold with your faith 🙏♥️🌈

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw drew attention during the team's Pride Night on June 14, 2025, after adding the Bible verse Genesis 9:12-16 to his rainbow-themed Dodgers cap. The passage refers to God's covenant with Noah:

And God said,

“This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for
all generations to come:

I have set my rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will remember my covenant between
me and you and all living creatures of every kind.

Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 🌈

At some point in your life, somebody will tell you that Prince was the best one ever.

You might want to listen to them.

This song breaks you inside. How beautiful but sad at the same time.

Rare footage of Prince performing “Adore” in 2011, just in time to celebrate the one you adore. ❤️

Widely regarded by critics and fellow musicians as one of the greatest love songs ever written, “Adore” remains a masterclass in devotion, vulnerability, and timeless romance.

Throwback to Prince's iconic 2007 Super Bowl Performance, where he performed hits including "Let's Go Crazy", "Baby I'm A Star" and "Purple Rain" ☔️ How are you celebrating Super Bowl Sunday?

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

The GOAT Super Bowl halftime performance and in absolutely zero danger of losing that title today.

[The Hole @TheHoleTweet]

Tomorrow night, after Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, the mainstream media will claim it's the greatest halftime show ever.

I beg to differ. No matter what Bad Bunny does, it will never compare to Prince's performance 19 years ago.

Prince performed in a driving rainstorm, in platform shoes, with four live electric guitars.

There was no prerecorded background music pumped through stadium speakers, and definitely no lip-syncing. It was a real artist playing real music.

So before the zombie media and left-wing influencers start praising Bad Bunny tomorrow night, here's a friendly reminder of what a true legend looks like.

(RIP) Prince

[Keith Murphy @murphdogg29]

The nuance of why Prince being a multi instrument was NOT the reason he was levels above his peers. He wasn't simply better because he could (along with write/produce/sing/perform) play guitar, keys, drums, bass, ect. It's that he did ALL that on iconic songs like "1999."

[O’Shea Jackson Jr @OsheaJacksonJr]

In 40 years, it had never rained during the Super Bowl. On the day of 41st the heavens opened up and poured down hard.

Because everything on the stage were live instruments and the stage floor was slick with water for he and his dancers, they asked Prince what did he want to do about the performance.

Prince replied, “can you make it rain harder?”

Long live Prince. The greatest halftime performance in Super Bowl history.
