Alicia Keys - Like You'll Never See Me Again

2007-11-14T11:32:23Z

Absolutely astounding how much Alicia Keys has matured as a songwriter on her latest album, "As I Am". Of course this is the one that was custom0made for me -- it's got a great lift of the piano part from the outro to "Purple Rain", along with the...

My Boy Tore It UP!

I just re-watched Prince's performance from the Superbowl halftime, and I while I have some nitpicks because I've truly seen him at his best, I just don't think anybody's ever topped what he's done tonight. Apparently, the New York Times agrees:...

I've liked Prince and his music pretty much my whole life, and for a while I was self-conscious about it. These days, pretty much everybody who knows me knows about me being a fan, though I still struggle to explain why. Two recent YouTube finds ...

Worst HouseQuake Ever

Prince was on American Idol
