If I were to put a soundtrack to my life, he was my soundtrack: “When Doves Cry,” “Purple Rain,” “Raspberry Beret”…those songs all take me back to the time and feelings I had in that era. He also had a powerful influence. He was the one who made androgyny popular. To the point where I saw Jim Brown, the hardcore football player athlete wearing a glitter jacket.”
Charlie went on to say how shocked he was that people were surprised Prince was such an athlete. “If you were to see see one of Prince’s live shows with the the dancing, air splits and everything and his show being 2 and a 1/2 hours long, how can you not think that this dude was an athlete? He was an athlete and he will be missed.”
Rest in Peace Charlie. Rest in peace Prince. Make new memories in heaven.
