Minneapolis in Mourning: A City Celebrates Prince Following Prince's death, Minneapolis threw a nonstop, citywide celebration to mourn and honor the musical legend.

And also this (paywalled but you know what to do) 2/2

How Prince Changed Minneapolis Prince would become famous by making Minneapolis famous. For that—and a million other reasons—we will always love him.

Here's what I wrote the day Prince died 1/2

DYNAMITE!

Taio Cruz never going broke as long as that station exists.

Tuned in to KDWB today for the first time in ages and it was reassuring to hear them still playing "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love." It will never stop being 2010 at 101.3.

Abbott and Costello easily as big a part of my childhood as anything contemporary.

at least we know they're probably still playing too much video games

please tell me they're gambling, at least!

haha I know the FB post you mean

no weed, no drinking, no babies... it's like these kids are TRYING to tank the economy

JSBX would not go over with the Kids Today, I don't think (and I get it)

aha ok!

Why would I make that up

I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a Railroad Jerk t shirt before.

Just saw a teen wearing a Railroad Jerk t.

Take it up with the Parka Board

Uptown died when the Gap closed.

"Someday Victoria's Secret and Urban Outfitters will come crawling back!" is not a longterm business strategy.

Uptown doesn't lack ideas—it needs landlords who charge market rate for businesses that serve its residents.

but a basic rule of thumb is that you should expect to get blocked for saying anything that would make someone frown and/or walk away from you at a party. calibrate your skeets accordingly

a thing I frequently sing to myself a la Gene while working at home: GOTTA PEE

it would be weird if they *didn't* draft a guy named Kenyon Sadiq-Vikings

Keeping up with Melvin Gibbs's discography is nearly impossible. Thing I learned from @matoswk.bsky.social's interview: Gibbs plays on Arto Lindsay's stellar "Erotic City" cover.

When I get an edit back, I typically slam my laptop shut, stalk around the room furiously for five minutes, then sit down and accept changes.

this is a subtweet you don't have to answer it

bluesky familiarize yourself with a stage musical more than 50 years old challenge

IIRC people hated seeing Tony Curtis as such a little weasel, though he was perfect for the role.

He's SO aware of his size in every role, you can watch him decide to emphasize it or underplay it.

oh and Judgment at Nuremberg!
