Champaign, OH: I Would Die For You
I’m not a human…
I am a dove…
I’m your conscious…
I am love…
All I really need is to know that…
You believe…
Yeah, I would die for you, yeah…
Darling if you want me to…
You, I would die for you…
(I Would Die For You-Prince-Purple Rain)
So, yeah, and then this happened. Another great one. A musical genius. An artist. Not a good run for this musically tuned in market manager. They are leaving us, much too quickly, much too sad.
Today, I was finishing up market baking in the new Hippie and the Farmer kitchen, when I got a text. Well, first, I had been texting with a friend over a song that we love from Roxy Music. Then, I looked down at my phone, and saw a text from my long time, best friend, like, we did just about all things that best friends do in high school, and saw this…WTH, Prince died??
I was immediately stunned and hoped it was not true. But, then it was confirmed…sadly, heartbreakingly true. It was even more sad because this best friend and I shared such a Prince bond.
There was the magical summer, when usually sane parents left two girls, for a large portion of the summer, while home on college breaks, to kick around, and live the best summer of their lives…also known as the Purple Rain Summer…how much music, wine, parties, and part time jobs could two girls endure…quite a lot, my friends, quite a lot. And, more importantly, how many times and how much money could two girls spend on this movie?? Yeah…Purple Rain Summer…it was one of legends…
Prince…he was a magical, artistic genius and meant so many different things to so many different people. My first glimpse into him was the early club scenes in the early 80s…I will never forget just stopping, listening, and watching.
So, we are in sorrow, once again, as I open this market. And, if you could take just one line from the lyrics I posted, I hope it’s…I am love…
Much love to us all, little local market of love customers…much love…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
