Day 13: A song you’ve seen performed live

I love books. Grew up reading everything I could get my hands on. Live in books. If asked "what is your favorite book?" I will hem and haw around, saying there are so many. And there are. I can name my favorite non-fiction, my favorite mystery, my favorite hard science fiction, soft science fiction, pulp, fantasy...I could go on. And I will protest that I couldn't choose a single favorite.

That is a lie.

My favorite book is Emma Bull's War for the Oaks. It is one of the first, if not the first, urban fantasy, and has a rock and roll singer get drafted against her will into the war between fairy courts in modern Minneapolis. And Minneapolis is as much a character in the book as any person. So of course, I went on a vacation based around my favorite book. I wanted to see some of the places first hand. One of the main locations is the legendary First Avenue. I got there in the early evening on a Tuesday or Wednesday --the weekends were always too crowded. I got a table, a two-top in the Mainfloor, and settled in to see where the climactic battle in the book took place. It was fantastic. I grabbed dinner and took notes. The band going on was called "Melvin and " something I can't remember. It was fun. The band came out with weird costumes and huge glasses, looking a little like a nice Funkadelic knock-off. Fun. A roadie comes out with someone wrapped in blankets with a huge knit hat covering most of his face, wheeled out on a hand truck. Okay... They hand him a guitar, and the opening guitar part of "When Doves Cry" screams out. Roadie walks off and pulls off the hat and it was fucking Prince.

He was working on things for a new tour, and so he and a few of his band would show up at clubs and play under a pile of weird names. Within ten minutes, the place was jammed, throat to elbow. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, and I had a table to do so. Amazing night. Probably the best concert I have ever seen that close.

But the song I chose goes back to the first time I saw him, back in 84 or 85. I wasn't a fan yet. But all great stories in life and history start the same way: "So, there was this girl..." I wasn't a fan at the start of the concert, I was a disciple by the end. This was Prince and The Revolution. As much as I loved all of it, I loved The Revolution era most. Wendy and Lisa. Apollonia 6 and Sheila E joining them for a half hour jam version of "I Would Die 4 U." Brilliant show.

This recording is from the same tour, about a month later.

This has me jealous like you would not believe. He was on my list of concerts to go to, has been one of my favourite artists since I was a kid, but I never got the opportunity to see him live.

Day 14: A song that mentions a number

Florence and the Machine - Girl With One Eye

I get the number one, AND am proud to also get a pie reference. And thanks to Florence Welch and Isabella Summers, I get 2 points.

“I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry”
