Speaking of genius, Prince is just that…  who else can sing, dance and wail on guitar while writing their own songs, controlling nearly every aspect of their copyright, understanding how to use technology, etc.  I have been fortunate to see Prince numerous times – Staples Center, House of Blues, Emerald Club, Nokia, Rio, Coachella, etc.

His most recent show at the Nokia theatre while stripped down to bare minimum was truthfully soulful – unmatched like years past… Despite sound issues, Prince trekked on and commanded the crowd with every move.  What’s most amazing is humbleness with age… very little ego while allowing the others in the band to shine.  Furthermore, his allowing of some fans on stage who got the opportunity to hug him… then at the end of the show taking the time to shake hands with those in the front row, while thanking GOD for his blessings.  check out www.lotusflow3r.com
