My Prince cassette
Purple
Purple is this 5-foot-2 bad ass.
Purple is his hallmark color.
Purple are the leather pants he rocked in the movie.
Purple Rain was the movie I was forbidden to watch in my youth.
Purple Rain won him an Academy Award and he’s not even an actor.
Purple Rain was too rated R for my Latino parents, so I got the album instead.
Purple Rain introduced me to When Doves Cry and Let’s Go Crazy.
Purple Rain was one of my favorite cassette tapes … yeah that’s right I said cassette tape. I’m old school.
Purple is Prince … and yeah he can pull off purple … he’s Prince.
