When I heard this rumor yesterday, I instantly thought, “you’ve got to be kidding me? Justin Timberlake has got to be smarter than this!”
My wife and I are massive Prince fans! We lived in Minneapolis for many years. I don’t think Justin’s team understands what that man means to that city. It’s something you have to witness first hand to really understand the depth of love for Prince.
We spent late nights watching him perform at Paisley Park live, cried for days after his death, and still listen to his music every day.
I understand wanting to honor Prince, he was THE BEST THAT EVER LIVED! Most of us Prince fans all say the same thing, if you want to show respect, play the Super Bowl performance from “07.” That will always be my favorite halftime show of all time. It was just Prince, a rainy Miami night, and a guitar.
Prince fans have it memorized, but if you’ve never watched it, here’s your chance.
I hope Justin Timberlake, who I think is an amazing dude and artist, pays tribute with his voice, that’s the way Prince would of wanted it.
