Are You Sitting Next to a Millennial Who’s Saying, Prince Who? The Doves Cry With You. So Do We

We are miserable about Prince’s death and not yet feeling up to explaining what he once meant to 12-year-old girls growing up in Bangalore and inside their own muddled heads in the 1990s. The beauty, the sexual aura, the musical genius, the gender-bending, we will let someone else write about it today.

You can join us in feeling miserable and watching these videos over and over again. An all-time favourite that kick-started puberty for some of us. Cream, 1991.

The definitive Prince song, Purple Rain.

To sing over and over again, When You Were Mine, 1980.

And the super-sexy, Darling Nikki of the sex-fiend fame, 1984.

Goodnight, sweet Prince.
