So,, how 'bout that Prince, eh? I've been a big fan since 1983, when I brought 1999 home on a snowy Friday afternoon and spent a snow bound weekend with it.  He's a force of nature; 48, vegan, religious, doesn't cuss anymore, sings, dances, plays everything, plays a hell of a guitar.  I've seen him about 6 times over the years; at MSG in 2004, his performance was impressive for his athleticism, frenetic movement for over two hours.  But I think the best show I saw was at Avery Fisher Hall in 2002, the One Night Alone tour; out of the gate, the first 100 minutes were either songs off his then-new record Rainbow Children, or else songs still unreleased.  100 minutes of new stuff, and he held the crowd in the palm of his hands.
