As a 40 year prince super fan that I think I am, what if I don’t want to be nostalgic about purple rain? Is that bad? It’s 40 years I keep getting reminded I was in high school. The movie an album made me a fan lifelong super fan. But I don’t like this book. I don’t want to be nostalgic. I don’t wanna go back to high school

I don’t like this book. Am I supposed to as a 40 year prince fan buy it? Do I have to wear purple! Do I have to go back to high school? If you were in college back to college days? Do I have to be nostalgic I need to include this book in my collection? I sold my vast collection several years ago. I think the thing I have left over from it are some magazine and clippings from 1984 through I think the mid 90s but I grew out of it. From purple rain didn’t cast castigate so Hansson we’re going back and trying to pull him backwards And force him to celebrate it the 30th anniversary or something? Why? It says this purple breakaway civilization of fans have broke away! People of course are free to do what they want free to put it up on their wall free to start to consent again and collect records until you have no more room, I’m done. It’s all inside here. It’s all inside the park right? I know all my heart. I think I could in my mind. I could see every photograph I’ve ever seen. Tell you every article I mean I can go on and on you internalize it’s in your heart, the progression is movement from dark and cold, which describe purple rain as the revolution the semi fictional revolution and then he went. It made his own studio and he was in the light so much more.
