This is what it sounds like...

I'm actually going to a Prince concert tonight! (Insert lots of fangirl squealing here!)

I've had the tickets for months, so the fact that I'm going isn't a surprise, but I think it's finally sinking in. I'm really looking forward to this evening.

I was a huge fan as a teenager. My room was plastered in pictures of him taken from teenie magazines, and I even had a huge poster of him on the ceiling over my bed. I'd always been into music, but I think he's the first musician/performer that I was a specific fan of.

I haven't really listened to a lot of his stuff in years - I think Diamonds and Pearls was the last of his albums that got a lot of time in my Walkman/CD player, mainly because I'd started listening to what I call angry chick music. Somehow his stuff didn't mesh all that well with Ani DiFranco or Liz Phair, y'know? I tossed Purple Rain in my CD deck yesterday, and just fell in love again. That album is fantastic.

I've never seen him live, so tonight should be a whole lotta fun.

I'll try to keep track, but I really can't promise anything. I've got a feeling it's going to be a loooong show. *g* and Whee!
