A rare glimpse of Prince smiling on 6/16/06 in New York
I was digging through the G photo archives today and when I found the above photo, I realized that it’s very rare to catch a glimpse of the Purple one smiling. However, when you are posing for G, how could you not bust a grin? The above and below photos were taken on June 16, 2006 when Prince was on Good Morning America. He performed “Get On The Boat” (with Sheila E.), “Redhead Stepchild” (with Tamar) and a verseless version of “Let’s Go Crazy.” I was lucky enough to be in the front row to watch my purple idol perform, and I loved every second of it. After the jump, see an exclusive photo of Prince giving the “O” face. I hope the purple police do not come after me for posting these photos, because I mean only love and I own all of his albums and have bought tickets to see him in concert no less than 50 times (and every single time was life changing!)

Eye No!
Minneapolis radio station The Current will be debuting a new Prince song on 2/26/10 at 7 am. The song is called “Cause and Effect” and it’s reported that the song will not suck anywhere nearly as bad as his last offering “Purple and Gold.”
The pictures above and below are from Mr. Brainwash’s current New York exhibit Icons. The art was made entirely out of pieces of broken records. There is no confirmation that Brainwash shattered all of the Purple One’s output in the 2000s to make these fantastic pieces.
My name is Prince and I'm an Icon!

The biggest Icon of them all - Mr. Brainwash
In a previous post, I told you about my encounter with the coolest artist of our time, Mr. Brainwash. I urge you to go see his exhibit Icons, which is located at 415 West 13th Street in New York. The exhibit runs from now until the end of March.
After the jump, you will see the first installment of Icons (according to Mr. Brainwash). If you like any of the following artists, you’ll really get a kick out of these pictures: Barry White, Billie Holliday, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Carlos Santana, Diana Ross, David Bowie or Dr. Dre. Prince and Jim Morrison can be seen here. Please note that all of these images were made by piecing together bits of broken vinyl records. How in the hell he pulled this off is anybody’s guess, but the results are stunning. Enjoy.

Here’s Mr. Brainwash’s take on two of my favorite ICONS: Prince and Jim Morrison.
Please keep in mind that the art is made ENTIRELY from broken record pieces!

I’ve been a life long Prince fan. I’ve stuck with him through name changes, conservative religious beliefs and mediocre attempts to reclaim his purple throne. He’s written a song for the Minnesota Vikings to be its new “fight song.” I think it’s very possibly the worst song he’s ever released. You can hear it here. If you can make it all the way though, please tell me what you think.
