The Blerd Radio team (consisting of me, “Big Money” Mike Joseph + Dr. Z and Michael Parr) did a Prince-related podcast a couple of years back. There’d been conversation about expanding that show, but we never got around to it.
Then Prince died, and we knew what we had to do.
We tried to avoid regurgitating the 1st podcast we did, and I think we were pretty successful. In this episode, the team discusses how we first became aware of the Purple One’s existence. We try (somewhat unsuccessfully) to succinctly describe the way he expertly balanced musicianship with pop smarts, and ponder his influence on the musical scene today. We also share where we were when we heard the news of his death, contemplate the future of his music and the celebrated “vault” of unreleased material, and obsess over tons of Prince minutiae as only a trio of Prince devotees can.
