If you are a fan of even just “I wonder about that guy,” you MUST read it.
The man was clearly a genius -- and all the puts and takes that come with it -- and it amazes me, all these years after his passing, how little we STILL know about him.
Which is most likely exactly the way he wanted it.

i'm honestly not a huge prince fan but this was super interesting - it's about an unreleased nine-hour documentary on prince with footage from his massive archive described by someone that was able to see it before it was blocked from releasing by prince's estate

ezra edelman (director of that nine-part OJ documentary) is a genius and this is basically his attempt at an influence campaign to get sign off from prince's estate.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
