Cloudy shade of purple

Hello!


Howdy people…..


So I have this channel where I can see old movies, according to the standards by kids today; to me they are classics. Two days ago, I was seeing “Purple Rain” and I was all gung ho about it stating that it was a “classic” and that they don’t make movies like this anymore; also stating that the soundtrack was “Epic”. So as I was seeing the movie it hit me: “What is this shit about???”

Seriously folks, I know this is Prince and shit, but have you ever seen the movie lately?? As far as I can tell, the movie is about a mediocre musician who is given a last chance by a music promoter and is madly in love with a woman who I thought was prettier than what I remember; seriously Apollonia, how old are you??? But back to our plot. Prince only finds his talent when his father tries to kill himself and I personally thinks that Prince “steals” the music from his washed up father. The soundtrack still rules compared to the “beep bop” crap kids hear today….


It is amazing how time distorts the facts….I thought that Apollonia was what my future wife would look like; thank God for reality! Wonder how she looks like now…Thank God for celluloid that keeps our youth frozen in time...


Any hoot, take care folks….
