🔊 FEELINGS #6 > Prince tribute radio show part 1
i was too emo to write a blurb, but Evelyn from the Internets said it best:
“Alright, cause Prince, you know, could have very well inhabited a completely different, uh, pocket of the universe, ok? He could have, uh, resided in any crevice of the infinite sky, and yet he existed in the same one… (whispers) as us.
What did we do to deserve that?
And what are we gonna do now that he’s gone?
You know?
(silence)
We’re the lucky ones, though, so…”
- Evelyn from the Internets
(head to 52:00 of the show to hear her full epic tribute!)
or listen via the player above! or listen over on totallyradio!
“i don’t think i’ll ever get over it…” - me
heads up: i was dreading every link i had to do on this show as my voice kept breaking, woy! 🥴
🔊 FEELINGS #7 > Prince tribute radio show part 2
It’s the FEELINGS Prince Tribute part 2!
Expect to hear much more from Prince himself, - I feel ready, you know?
Also expect more from his protégés, session bands and all the trimmings- but prime cutlets not giblet, plus lots of Feelings of course!
or listen via the player above! or over on totallyradio!
heads up: this show is a little more ‘upbeat’ and joyful if you’re looking for that!
☔️ PRINCE-PIRATION STATION 💜
Just a couple of bonus things i love…
First, i can never-not-pay-attention to my fave Prince song, I Would Die 4U - and as much as i LOVE the the dance montage clip from Purple Rain (the close ups of his shimmy-licking- yes you know the part, right here)…
…this video is an equal fave: the extended version live from Landover, MD on November 20, 1984. It’s shortened cause: YouTube :/ but a good one. Enjoy!
I really love this interactive multimedia zine Becoming Prince (a special treat if you’re also INTO maps, be they geographical or energetic +++) 🌎
For some rare pictures and stories about Prince, head to this post on my ig.
"A strong spirit transcends rules. People who have no creativity, talent, or courage are the ones who follow the rules. Be brave, be bold, step up and make your own! The passion that lies inside of you means you don't need to follow the pack, because you transcend it."
- Prince
Words to live by forever and ever. 💜⚡️
Make your own damn rules. Then eat them!
Not invited to sit at the table? Build your own!
You need no one else’s permission or validation my loves. Especially not mediocre ones. Keep doing you.
And if you falter, turn towards the wisdom of those you love and who give you room to be who you are.
I love you.
Thanks for reading,
Dionne

I saw Prince live in London during the Love Sexy tour and I totally lost my mind when he was eating a sandwich on stage in a suggestive manner as part of the performance. He ate half and then threw the rest out into the crowd - I TOTALLY THOUGHT I WOULD GET THAT SANDWICH. I surged forward like a stampeding bull (just like most everyone else there). I didn't get it. HE WAS LUMINOUS throughout, and it was without a doubt the best gig I ever went to.
OMG - I have just found the whole show on YouTube - I am SAVING this for when I have some private time so I can give it my full attention - hahahaha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdFk-9cbOUU
Love to you from London - Jenny x
