A fine way to spend your Saturday night, sir. Well played. Bust a move for me.

If they play Purple Rain, shed a single tear for me at the start of the guitar solo.

Maybe that will work. No purple rain, yet.

Closed with purple rain.

Nailed it.

I just got back from seeing Motown: The Musical. It was fun, but I have to assume that this was a pretty whitewashed history of the label. How is the founder usually remembered?

Since Berry Gordy wrote the book of the musical, yeah. Completely whitewashed. It's absurd. He paints himself as an infallible savior of all things music and love. It's laughable. I rolled my eyes through the whole thing. I wouldn't have gone at all but I had two friends in the Broadway production AND I got to see it for free.

Admit it, stip. You were disappointed when they didn't sing "U Can't Touch This."

I heard an uplifting live version of Louis Armstrong's Blueberry Hill that made me really happy today.
