It was 29 yrs ago today. But before the last non hip hop release that transformed my world. Let's go 9 weeks earlier to when I heard the title cut #SignOTheTimes. I remember 3 things that day: 1) #Power99 premiered it on #BarbraSummers show: it was a snow day (got sent home early, and I remember feelin good I was gonna make 40 bucks shovelin so I prolly was gonna squander it on records & video games) 2) it was the anniversary of the eerie #SpaceShuttleChallenger explosion so the updates and reflection was in heavy action---& mid recap of that clip on tv came another unexpected event---3) the #BudDwyer conference (DO NOT GOOGLE that video---trust) if you were a Philadelphian of age, then you just had a chill remembering what that clip did to all of us. So explosions & suicide wound up being the unavoidable trigger memory when I hear the stark song. Matter of fact: I NEVER PLAY IT.----Prince's best album & I don't even give it the courtesy of a full listen. I ALWAYS start that baby on #PlayInTheSunshine. I never once considered that once I'd reach maturity & immerse myself in hip hop that Prince releases as "events" would kinda end for me right here. Don't mistake it: I've purchased and absorbed every Prince album the day it comes out. But being 16 is the last age of musical and literal innocence. I mean I had my 1st non music w dad related after school job to deal with & the pressure of college or career & not gettin kicked out the house by the time #Lovesexy came out so NO album release felt this free...not even my own. So unbeknownst to me: if "Just As I Am" by #BillWithers started my journey then #SignOTheTimes was gonna end that 1st phase. It's so special I never tell Prince newbies to start their listening w it. I tell em "save it for last" ---& most come back to let me know i was correct. Man that's cool.
