Prince Opus iPod

01425sz1i20465700I am a HUGE Prince fan.  Did I say HUGE?  That probably doesn’t even begin to describe it.  

For Christmas, The Man gave me a coffee table book detailing the Beloved Purple One’s career.  No one can touch that book but me.  Unless they are ready to die.  And for the record, I don’t have a coffee table.  A story for another day.

Before I hit the road this morning for a day of meetings in Columbia, I heard that the Prince Opus iPod was being released today. I couldn’t leave the house until I had the skinny.

15 songs

40 minutes of video

$2100.00

Only 950 produced.  

Are you f*cking kidding me?!  I’m just saying.  

I know that Apple has done this before for U2 , J.K. Rowling, and The Beatles (which is ironic because you can’t even buy Beatles music on iTunes- pisses me off because there are a few Beatles originals that I want- but I digress.)

I wonder how much they’ll go for on eBay?

    J-E-S-U-S L-O-R-D!!!! Are you f*cking kidding me is RIGHT!! As I learned to say from Yas: “Day-um!”

    But I do love me some Prince. Not all of his work (cuz, he does get a little ‘out there’…) but most of it. He’s a genius of a little man, and more than a little freaky. Freaky enough to make me giggle, which is sayin’ somethin’…

    But sorry, Beloved Purple One…I’ve got better things to do with $2,100, thank you very much.

    Oy.
