Prince appears wearing purple velvet, crazy mirrored glasses and a raspberry beret. The room becomes engulfed in a beautiful purple haze.  He is smiling as he starts to speak… “I’m not much of a talker, but I want to thank you all for the Love you’ve shown me. The future is wasting no time. I never meant to cause you any pain or sorrow. I only want to see you laughing, in the Purple Rain. Dearly Beloveds, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word life, means forever, and that’s a long time. I’m here to tell you, I’m in the after world, a place of never ending happiness. I’ve seen the future and it will be. Let’s Go Crazy, everything will be alright! We’re not gonna let that elevator bring us down, hang tough and punch a higher floor. Springtime is my favorite season. I’m dreaming of oceans of violets in bloom. Can you dig it?  Be cool, no one can dictate who you are. Don’t talk down to people or judge them too quickly. Just try to be a better human being. If you could set your mind free baby, maybe you’d understand. I didn’t care too much of what people would say, it’s usually a reflection of who they are. One day my brothers and sisters, you will understand we are all connected. The most important thing is to be true to yourself. Don’t live in the past, keep moving forward.  Life is just a party, and parties weren’t meant to last, so tonight let’s party like it’s 1999. Remember, every day is a blessing from God and a new beginning. God made you. God made me. He made us all equally. Everything you do is inspired by God, you gotta believe. Believe in yourself. Everyone is having their own experience, that’s why you’re here. If you’ve learned enough, you may not have to come back again. I’ll be your fire when you’re cold, make you happy when you’re sad. I’m not a human, I’m a dove. I’m your conscious. I am Love. Here we are folks, in the dream we all dream of. You’re the cage to my dove. When you come upon a crossroad and you’ve got to decide which way to turn, are we gonna go over the bridge before it burns? Don’t you let it burn. You’re the cage to my dove. I’m forever and ever in love. It’s a sign of the times, beautiful ones. Paint a perfect picture, bring to life a vision in one’s mind. Cause we know you know, powerful soul, life is too good to waste. Before the night is through, you will see my point of view, even if I have to scream and shout. Baby, I’m a star. I don’t want to stop till I reach the top. Sing it, we all are a star. Baby, until the end of time, I’ll be there for you. I truly adore you. Love is touching souls, surely you touched mine. Honey, I know, I know, times are changing. It’s time we all reach out 4 something new. That means you 2. I’m gonna show you what it’s all about. You just leave it all up to me. You don’t have to be cool to rule my world. This will be the day that you will hear me say, I am here for you. If I could I would give you the world. But all I can do is just offer you my love. Because I understand that love must be the master plan. If you know what I’m singing about up here, c’mom raise your hand. Purple rain, purple rain… let me guide you 2 the purple rain. There is nothing that will overcome the love we share, nothing will break us apart. Gotta always have you in my heart. I’ll never, never stop loving you. Love is forever.” Prince waves goodbye for now… his Purple Reign remains. Views:]]>
