9:30 Coffee Break: the self-references of Prince
by Jill Riley and Brian Oake
April 22, 2016
On Thursday, Minnesota and the world lost a beloved musical icon when Prince died at age 57.
We've been remembering and celebrating the life and music of Prince all morning long on Oake & Riley, with Prince songs as well as the music that influenced him - and the artists he influenced.
As we think about Prince's incredible artistic output, there are those songs in his canon where he does make reference to real-life people, places and things, including himself, his studio and his crew.
So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear in which Prince makes reference to himself or to other people, places and things in his life? Send us your requests.
