Our Purple Rain Book Report (Part 2)
from Pop Culture Preservation Society · host Pop Culture Preservation Society
In part 2 of our discussion of this legendary 80s blockbuster, we make PhD-level discoveries about the meaning of Purple Rain and how the story was told through Prince's music. It turns out that LYRICS MATTER PEOPLE! And when you listen hard, you might understand this movie far differently than you did in 1984. Yes, we all know what Nikki was doing with that magazine but Kristin really missed the mark on what Prince was inviting her to do after that funky time. And why were the doves crying anyway? From the waters of Lake Minnetonka to the stage at First Avenue, we'll walk you scene by scene (and song by song) through this story of redemption, resurrection, and, hopefully, recovery.Watch Lizzo’s tribute to Prince hereFollow the PCPS on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTokHelp the PCPS keep the lights on by becoming a supporter on Patreon.
