just start opening your eyes. I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing we call life.

Electric word life, it means forever. Hey, wait a minute. No, it doesn't actually.

Prince died this week, the age of 57. I was a huge prince fan, but that lyric always struck me as odd.

Electric word life, it means forever. It's maybe a bit of a depotty.

Might be potentially poetic, but life doesn't mean forever.

And especially if you go on to talk about say there's something else other than life and after world.

And the world of any ever, never any happiness. And you can always see the sun, day or night.

I wait a minute. I thought day was what we defined as that period of time where the sun occupies this guy and night is the other.

He was an interesting character who I think had some incredibly confused and changing views on religion.

There was a period where he seemed to have this Messiah complex, you know, I would die for you.

And all of these interesting aspects to his character.

He was viewed as a very sexual person and had some objectionable lyrics to some interesting songs,

Darling Nikki and Pussy Control and keep naming them.

But he was also a Jehovah's Witness and he was anti-LGBTQ.

And so he wasn't someone that I would consider perfect even though I absolutely love the musical genius that issued for from him.

He played a number of different instruments, wrote amazing music and died far too soon.

I sincerely hope that his Jehovah Witness religion, religious teachings, weren't responsible for his early demise when you have a religion that prohibits you from blood transfusions and has other very anti-scientific anti-medicine views.

I don't think it's outside of the realm of possibility. Now we don't know yet and like I said, I hope that's not the case.

But the point here is that you couldn't really put him in a box and I'd like us to kind of maybe recognize that we have a difficult time putting anybody in a box.

We're not going to agree with everybody or disagree with everybody on probably everything at any given time.

And while he was shaky on some lyrics and had politics that I didn't agree with, I was a fan and still am and was very happy to have his music playing as part of the soundtracks of my life.
