This was the “let Mike cook” episode of 50 For 50. I asked Mike if he knew Prince’s career and life story second best only to Michael Jackson, and he said he knows Prince, MJ, and Stevie Wonder best.
I explained why I wasn’t a big Prince fan growing up, mostly having to do with how young my ears were for his fairly adult music. But the best thing about 50 For 50 for me is this project gives me the chance to go through albums of music that I hadn’t listen to before, or hadn’t listened to in a very long time.
I liked Purple Rain. But I don’t think I understood its incredible appeal. After this episode, I do now.
