I really enjoy Prince's music, I had a roommate in college that would put it on while she got ready to go out.
I adore Prince, too! Every time I hear his music it takes me back to my teenage years.
Do you have a favorite song? I never bought any albums I just like the songs I hear on the radio.
I have a couple. Purple Rain is a given. That song is so emotional. Also, When Doves Cry. I can not hear it without tearing up a lil. And, the one I love is Darling Niki. Its not PG though. haha
Oh wow, I guess I will have to look that up. I like Kiss the most I think. I always think of my roommate when I hear it.
That is a great song too! The whole Purple Rain album is excellent, really. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the tracks. Kiss is a great hype up song. I can see why your roommate would play it.
Yeah, I did enjoy the music. I wish I would have seen him in concert, sounds like he would have be fun to see in person.
Me too! I feel like I really missed out on a fantastic concert when The Revolution came to my state in the early 80
I don't think I was even born then. Anything I saw of him was on tv, or heard on the radio. | lyrics as well as blending of funk, dance, and rock music. In 1984, he began referring to his backup band as The Revolution and released "Purple Rain", the soundtrack album to his film debut. It quickly became his most critically and commercially successful release, spending 24 consecutive weeks atop the "Billboard" 200 and selling 25 million copies worldwide. After releasing the albums "Around the World in a Day" (1985) and "Parade" (1986), The Revolution disbanded, and Prince released | 've Got What It Takes,' that was MY song. Even had the Paul Hucklebuck Williams band playing on it behind me... And then Berry Gordy just stole it out from under me, just put his name on it. And what could I do? I was just trying to make a living, playing guitar and singing, how was I going to go on and fight Berry Gordy, big as he was, and Motown Records? There wasn't really nothing I could do about it - it was just too | 4,498 | wow-train |
My favorite superhero is the Flash. His superhuman speed is amazing!
Isn't his alter ego named Barry Allen?
Yes Barry Allen was one of the many Flashes. He is so fast he can vibrate his molecules to pass through objects.
Well that is quite a hyperbolic set of powers. Do you think that this would render the flash more powerful than superman?
I think the Flash could take on Superman. He is even faster than the man of steel.
I seem to recall that Frank Miller wrote a comic in which Batman defeated Superman. That was a fairly interesting series. | Batman

Powers and abilities.
As the Flash, Garrick can run at superhuman speeds and has superhumanly-fast reflexes. The limits of his speed have fluctuated over the years, though he has usually been second to DC's "flagship" Flash, Barry Allen.
In his earliest appearances, Garrick's speed was derived from a metagene that activated after he inhaled hard water vapours. This allowed him to move swiftly enough to intercept bullets. He could carry people away with him | 4,499 | wow-train |
