I used to have that version on tape back in the '80's. Don't even remember how I got it, might've been off a 12" or something, I forget.

Prince was so badass it was fucking ridiculous. And I cannot friggin' believe he's gone, taken out by opioids. It's so friggin' terrible. Especially knowing how it went down, and how he died when someone was literally on the way to MN with buprenorphine to help him ... as an addict who's been on bupe for the better part of the last 15 years ... it just crushes me that things went down as they did for him. It saved my friggin' life ... but literally arrived hours too late from saving his.
