She's connecting Prince, his connection to his father, and how the values he learned from him showed up The Rainbow Children. Image
I think it still fits. "Divine Femininity" still champions distinct roles. Not so much subjugation, more "everybody has a space to fill"
Up next! @8minutesidle Image
Appreciate Matt admitting he's come around on this era. I remember reading his book talking about this era and feeling like...

Just kidding…a taste….of Joy…in Repetition. Circa 2002. It’s fine I didn’t technically share it just pointing y’all to this fine soldier in Prince’s army

Hear the whole thing here!

04…we knew the things that happened then…but here’s another thing that happened….Pulling a song he wrote, covered by Tevin, reclaimed by him on 95’s Gold Experience, presented to you here by a mature Professor.

Prince is an icon. A legend. A mood. Sometimes though, it seems like his image crowds out his gift as a musician. Why were so many people blown away by the RRHOF performance? Why didn’t people know that kind of thing was a regular occurrence for him…for decades?
Why did a panel of musicians and critics not tap him to be a recognized and celebrated guitar player until 2011 when he FINALLY made the list of greatest players at #33?
There may be a few reasons, but I think it's mostly because people truly had no idea. The fun part of being an admirer of Prince is that his best work requires effort to find. A regular treasure hunt.

A lot of my dude insecurity stuff is linked to internal expectations of what I'm supposed to do and want and be as a Black woman within my own culture. That pressure comes from family as well as general expectations of needing to have booty and breasts to be attractive.
My family literally has a retrospective at the end of the year to talk about stuff we should have done better. For the two sisters who are unmarried, we are talked down to because we are too independent (they raised us to be this way)
Sorry we have our own careers and houses and cars and whatever else. We are set financially on our own accord. When you have a woman who can provide for herself financially, it's much harder to find someone who can be there for her emotionally. Patriarchy doesn't work that way

I'm in an interesting mood where I feel extremely present and human in a way that I don't usually feel during the day. I'm definitely a night person.

Daytime feels like obligations and jobs and stuff. Night time is quiet and reflection and feeling present on top of time. 💜
If you are a nap person like me, invest in blackout curtains for your bedroom. I got these ones for me and they literally changed my life. (Photo of my bedroom before I bought my house... I have these curtains up now and it's like perfectly dark at noon)

I will do a video during daytime to show you how dark it is in here with those curtains.

So most of you know the plot of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. If you don’t I’ll leave this here to help you do your googles.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita
Prince's Lolita is an interesting song, one where once again we’re like this when you actually listen to the lyrics...

There are so many #Prince #StevieWonder connects! I want to take tomorrow to honor Stevie for his 70th birthday outside the context of P. He is in my top five artists & as much as he influenced my favorite artist, he deserves his own recognition on his day. A quick purple thread:
One of many times they played together...

Hop over here to see P with 3rEyeGirl covering Superstitious with Stevie johnsonsphotography.smugmug.com/Music-Concerts…
