I remember someone posting that video of While My Guitar Gently Weeps after Prince died. Whoa damn, son.

If I was able to play a guitar like that I would die a happy man. Let me channel Prince one time, Lord, that's all I'm asking. Just once.

I cannot foresee a matchup where I wouldn't vote for this song.

I can't believe I forgot the While My Guitar cover. Glad someone posted it.

Prince's guitar still hasn't landed.

And Jeff Lynne has honey in his voice.

Loved Prince, and I listened to these two a lot after he passed.
