you know who

i don't usually post a lot of non-playlist content

BUT

i thought i'd make an exception as the radio program won't be on the air again (if ever).

SO

this is something i was forced to reblog. let us take a moment out of our busy lives to thank the cosmos for the entity that is prince and his funk machine. 85 minutes of gold.

live @ paisley park
new year's eve 1987
with a special appearance by the prince of darkness

AMEN
