Purple Rain


This post brought to you by Soccer Mom in Denial - posting every Monday on a different musical memory.

***********************************************************

We've finally turned a corner with the weather this weekend in DC. Flower Child can go back to doing the thing that gave her her name. I spent the weekend digging through dirt and gardening to my heart's delight.

It was Thursday this past week the clematis bloomed - and it is gorgeous! Beautiful purple flowers - just stunning. And the best part is, I don't have to do anything - it comes back year after year with minimal help from me.

Where's the music in all of this? Well, Purple Rain of course. A great movie from my high school days (one friend saw it at least a dozen times) and an even better album. I do love Prince/the artist formerly known as Prince/Prince.

    Truly one of the best albums of all time. Prince is an extraordinary artist. I found the movie harder to take, but thought it was quite interesting as a concept.
