Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate this man called Prince. Electric man, Prince. His music will last forever. And that's a mighty long time.

But I'm here to tell you, he's enjoying something else. The after world. A world of never ending happiness, where he can always see the sun, day or night. 'Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the after world. In this life. You're on your own.

...But back in this life, we're not really on our own. Not so long as we have the indelible music of The Purple One to keep us company.

When people who were alive in the 60s and 70s talk about how lucky they were to be alive at a time when people like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were creating music, that's how you should feel if you're reading this right now. Because artists like Prince don't come around every day.

With that said, let's go crazy about Prince, shall we?
