Prince

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since the passing of our iconic artist Prince on April 21, 2016.  There has been many tributes to the late singer with special events and concerts and during several awards shows. To commemorate the anniversary of his death, the Minnesota Historical Society, 345 W Kellogg Blvd in St. Paul will have a very special display that I'm sure his fans wil

I finally made the treck to Chanhassen to take the tour of Paisley Park Recording Studio, and also the home of Prince. He was one of my music idols, not just because he was good but because he was a Minnesota kid and never forgot that. I saw some things that I mentioned to the tour guides that caught my eye, and got to hear an unreleased jazz track he was working on before he died.

With 2016 coming to an end, Estately has come out with a list that picks out what each state googled the most in the past year. Minnesota's most googled phrase will not surprise most people.

A family in Minnesota honors the late Prince this year with an epic holiday light show set to the music icon's 'Purple Rain.'

For some Prince fans, this would be the ultimate dream job.  Of course, if you live in the Twin Ports you'd have to relocate to the Twin Cities, but you would be part of history.  One of the first employees that opened Paisley Park.

Fans of the iconic Minnesota star Prince will soon be able to get an unprecedented look inside his Paisley Park estate.

If you go to a Minnesota Wild game this upcoming season, you'll notice a new song blaring through the speakers of the Xcel Energy Center whenever the Wild score a goal.  It's a song chosen by season ticket holders to celebrate and honor Prince.

With the passing of Prince last week, there have been countless stories and tributes.  This is easily one of the funniest.

When it was announced yesterday that Enger Tower would be lit purple in honor of Prince, plenty of people asked whether or not Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge would follow suit. While the process to possibly make it happen was initiated, it will ultimately not be happening.

I am reminded of a Beatles line, I read the news today.....I could not believe my eyes. Now I know how my Aunt Lynn felt when she heard John Lennon died, Now I understand how my Aunt Pat felt when she heard Elvis passed. When certain artists die, you feel their death. Prince changed how I think about music and being a producer.

Even though foggy, cold, and rainy conditions persisted through the evening, hundreds of people visited Enger Tower in Duluth as it was lit up in purple as a tribute to the iconic Minnesotan and musical legend, Prince.

As fans mourn the loss of musical icon and Minnesotan Prince, the City of Duluth will honor the Purple One by lighting Enger Tower in Purple tonight (Thursday, April 21).
