prince inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame
It was clearly Prince's night, though, as he opened the ceremony with a trio of 1980s hits and came out later to upstage Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Harrison's son, Dhani, on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." -Salon |
I happened to catch this performance flipping through the channels sunday night. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I ever heard "while my guitar gently weeps" which jendhi had mentioned after hearing the grey album but I had no idea what she was talking about. first of all it's just about the prettiest song ever, 2nd of all there were at least 4 acoustic guitars on stage producing the most beautiful full sound and tom petty and apparently jeff lynne on vocals. breathtaking. even on tv: I can't even imagine how much better it must have sounded to be in the audience. then prince came out on electric and literally stole the show. I felt like how I would imagine I would watching jimi hendrix. I'm adding prince to my list of guitarists.

Jen, did I tell you that a couple weeks ago I saw Prince live at the House of Blues? It was incredible. HE'S incredible. He has the best stage presence of about anyone I've ever seen in my life. Freakin' genius! I wish I could have seen that thing on Sunday!

Oh, and he looks like a monkey. MJ wanna be.
