Accepting that into each life a little rain must fall

Once again some lengthy study has come to a self-evident conclusion. Even when I was little I knew that "and they lived happily ever after" was just the beginning of much more interesting times ... doesn't everyone?

You know the beginning of that Prince song "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." where he goes "a world of never-ending happiness, where you can always see the sun, day or night..." . . . we were listening to that song the other day (how many times have we heard this song in our lives?) and out of the blue, my wife says "that sounds horrible!"

My favorite cover of a Prince song was Kiss by Tom Jones. I got wet every time I heard it.

We don't hear it much now. Kinda sad really.

Prince is far more wonderful than anyone that could cover his work.

1999 is the sexiest album of all time. It's crazy. Most singers just make sex just another song topic, or a way to parade their manliness; Prince simply makes sex SEXY.

She meant that part sounded horrible, not the song. Prince is in a league of his own.
