Prince.

Wow.

I saw him in 1982, I believe, on the Controversy tour, with the Time opening. I can't recall where it was now....Bloomington, Decatur? I just remember riding in the back seat of David Conroyd's big yellow Cadillac on some back roads. And standing on my chair with Eileen during the show, I remember that too.

In the bathroom of the house I shared with Eileen and Ile that year we had the poster of him from the Controversy album. And of course we sold a hell of a lot of Prince in our days at Records Service....lots of buttons too....that was the era of buttons....sigh.

Prince.

Nick Rudd and Ernie with a scintillating Prince display....note the Prince button display on the right side of the counter...

RIP Prince
