PURPLE REIGN: CELEBRATING CREATIVITY ON A PRINCE TOUR AND PAISLEY PARK

Armed with a song in my heart, a Prince T-Shirt and a purple glittery butterfly tattoo on my shoulder, we set off to spend the day with the ghost and memories of one of the greatest artists of our time at Paisley Park on a Prince Tour!

A Prince concert was the first concert I attended without a chaperone when I was in high school. My girlfriends and I had seats up in the nosebleeds.

He was that kind of a performer and artist. Every note, tune and dance move pulled you in with its perfect energy.

The Paisley Park Museum is a wonderful tribute to Prince, but also to imagination and creativity. It’s a small insight into his very private life and his dedication to musicology.

Prince played 27 instruments – all self-taught – and through them produced one innovative hit after another fusing sounds of pop, R &B, rock, soul, jazz and funk. He was a musician, a singer, a director, a producer, an engineer, an actor, an innovator, a fashion icon, and the ultimate definition of cool.

For him, the purpose of life was to live with the complete freedom to express who you are without fear of what others think.

I tapped into his fearless creative energy, bopped and sang the chorus of Raspberry Beret. I hear you Prince and I’m being cool alongside you.
