I get delirious whenever U're near. Lose all self-control, baby, just can't steer. Wheels get locked in place. Get a stupid look on my face
Pick of the Week
“Delirious” by Prince (1982)
So today we will look at a simple recipe. See if you can
prepare some yourself. It is fast and easy!
Power Soul Stew:
Minneapolis recipe
In one large pan, sear 4 Tbsps of pounded Jimmi Hendrix
guitar riffs and ½ lb of James Brown’s funk. Then shred some Michael Jackson moves
and vocal styles and stir in (3-4 Tbsp to taste), increasing the heat until a
rolling boil; at least 120 beats per minute. Next, chop up some Chuck Berry
riffs and stir in. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. While this is
simmering, in a separate pan blanche some Joni Mitchell and some ‘Atlantic-era’
songs in the water of the Minneapolis sound. Combine all ingredients. Sprinkle
with a bit of Miles Davis. Serve to cool people.
If I was only allowed to use one word to describe Prince
it would be ‘prolific’. Boring you say?
