Transmission
Prince
by Jake Rudh
June 17, 2022
Last week would have been Prince's 64th birthday, and even though Jake Rudh is a week off, he's not going to miss celebrating a man who inspired Transmission just as much as Bowie and the Beatles. That's why this week on the program, we'll hear nothing but the Musical Genius and some of his best creations, all in the order they were released ... or at least until we run out of time in the 90s.

Situated just off the highway leading southwest out of the Twin Cities in the municipality of Chanhassen, Paisley Park served as the virtuoso international pop star's creative and literal home, a sanctum where he spent nearly three decades.
