We are just stepping into 2019, but the Purple Universe is already thinking about April. People from all over the planet will be honoring Prince's life and career on the 21st. And a lot of folks will visit the Twin Cities during Paisley Park's annual Celebration as well. As we wait to find out exactly what Paisley has planned, how do you think Purple Current should sound in April? All Prince? A countdown of songs, albums, duets? Guest DJs? I know these anniversaries are important to all of us, we want to treat it right on Purple Current. If you have any bright ideas, please let me know so we can start making the perfect audio companion.
