Purple is my favorite color. I have no idea what Prince's favorite color was but I would like to think that it was also purple. His music, as has been said by many over the past few days, is part of the soundtrack to my life. I'm lucky enough to have seen Prince play live once, and it was by accident. In 2000 a girlfriend of mine (we'll call her T) had agreed to be be my date to my company holiday party, which was in Las Vegas. The party was at the MGM Grand and so was our room. After the party we decided to go to Studio 54 because we could get in for free by staying at the hotel. Once we reached the door the bouncer told us it would be $20 each to get in because of a special event but he wouldn't tell us what the event was. We grudgingly handed over our money and went inside. I don't remember if T had gone to the bar or to the bathroom but I do remember her running back to me looking like she was going to explode with excitement. Prince is here!! I asked her if she was sure and she grabbed my hand and pulled me along behind her to the side of the club where a short man in tall boots was walking between two very large men. We only saw them from a distance and they soon disappeared, about twenty minutes later the music stopped and the stage went dark. When the stage lights came on there he was, it was Prince, he was the special event. He played for less than an hour and it was magic. Intellectually I knew that Prince could play most instruments and did play them for his albums, but seeing it live was something else all together. That was one of the best live shows I have ever seen.
