Prince wins a Golden Globe
by Pete
Congrats to Prince for a successful night at the Golden Globes, where he won the category of Best Original Song…
The award was given out very early in the show, and not only did I miss it, but so did Prince. He was on the way there, stuck in traffic. He was acknowledged later in the show and stood up and bowed from his table.
The winning tune is “The Song of the Heart” from the movie Happy Feet. Before tonight, I had listened to the song all the way through about 1.75 total times. Not that crazy about it to tell you the truth. But who knows, it may grow on me.
You can judge for yourself here…

Quick Note: I didn’t want to bombard my Top 10 with Springsteen and Prince albums, so I chose my favorites of theirs from the 00’s. Did I spend more time with M.I.A.’s Arular than with Bruce’s Magic or Prince’s Musicology? No way. Just so you know, I limited my picks to one album per artist.
And [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve discovered a gem in my own music library – one that I don’t recall ever hearing. I’ve listened to Gov’t Mule’s 2003 live album (Deepest End: Live in Concert) before, but I don’t remember hearing what I heard tonight: a slow and bluesy “When Doves Cry” sung by Warren [...]

As a Prince-obsessed maniac since the age of Purple Rain, I’ve always been interested in following those he helped spawn back in the day. The Time were obviously the most talented of the bunch, and a sizable contributor to the feel and sound of the band – along with Prince, Morris Day, Jimmy Jam and [...]

Yeah, not that crazy about it myself. It fulfills its purpose. If you played that song for me and said “imagine a bunch of animated penguins dancing around to this,” it wouldn’t be very difficult to do so. Props to him for getting an aware anyway.

“award” rather.

I thought it was pretty vanilla when it came out, and it still hasn’t grown on me at all. I’m kinda’ disappointed in the man, but I’m glad to see him getting noticed. The Superbowl performance ought to really light a fire and then (maybe) he will quit the Vegas gig and go on tour!!!

My daughter loves this song and it plays continuously in the car. It has truly grown on me and I enjoy it also. Good for him!!
