Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our Mengele.
Available at every Tower Records, every Barnes and Noble.

I have to admit that as a youth I did not allow myself the opportunity to appreciate the awesomeness that is Prince.
And it was not that it was hard to find, I’m literally just listening to 1991’s Diamonds and Pearls and it’s blowing my mind how revolutionary a song like Get Off is for the time.
