It is live. There was one jerk. Most of it (we are listening to the 80's) has been excellent. Nina Blackwood & Mark Goodman are hosting.

Marta, our middle daughter, and I went to his last Omaha concert and had a great time.

does he not have his own channel on Sirius? That's a travesty to me. I hope that fix that.

all the tributes have died down, will he get one permanent like Springsteen, Elvis, and BB King. If he doesn't he should.

I worked for many years with a lady who went to High School with him in Minnesota. She said he was weird to the max but as I recall she said he was a pretty good athlete there too.

I have a fair amount of his music in multiple formats, you rocked Prince RIP.
