Years ago after the Revolution was disbanded. I called Dr. Finks studio to see what the rates were for gig. Well, the person who answered the phone was Dr. Fink... I was nearly speechless.... He graciously talked to me as a fan for 30 minutes... I got to ask him every freakin' question about the break up of the Revolution at the time. It was one of my coolest moments in my life.

Hi Matt, I'm a big fan you too are an amazing musician, I hope the Revolution will come play in Germany and I'll get to meet you. I met Wendy & Lisa in the late 80's. Prince was a major inspiration for my own musical journey that included collaborations w/ your keyboard colleagues Roger Smith (Tower of Power) and Brad Cole (Phil Collins).

Met you Matt, Dr. Fink on 7/28/16...At The St. George Theatre...The Purple Experience - Tribute to Prince.. and what an experience it was!! You were the medicine we all needed. I fervently hope we were as uplifting to you as you were to US!! TYSM!! I was the one who said to you when we met "You must be tired!!" And we laughed and I congratulated you on the Anniversary of the Purple Rain Movie. Well, I have fallen totally in love with you and remain eternally devoted to you. I will be at any and all "Purple Experience" Performances that you have and I can get to...from now on. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. That night had a unique sensation to it. Mixed with happiness, excitement, love and the sadness of loss we can't help but feel...strikes the heart like a bullet in the dark. It was the experience of a lifetime!! I WILL be back and bring everyone I know with me!! LOVE you!! I mean that!! XO

@apprilleh8 жыл бұрын
Why? He was only on the drugs was because he was in pain. He was not an addict in the "crack" sense. Everybody always said he was drug free his entire career. Many abuse prescription medication because there is no relief for chronic pain except drugs.
@lynx002ca8 жыл бұрын
I know that. However, he did die because he was addicted to drugs, it's just ironic considering how anti-drug and alcohol he was during his life.

This is another proof that Prince didn't mess with drugs. Someone drugged and killed him and try to tarnish his image, and failed to realized that Prince music is to powerful for that.

ah, timelines. Around the "World in a Day" was FRILLIANCE! so there. But they were really CHEAP on the vinyl! I found two copies. His folks were Eartha Kitt fans I think I just found out I'm related to her. I was driving a burnt out '74 Maverick in '84 around DC. MD black and white tags that said "Morena" And they really should have let me get my Great grandma's Crystal ROSARY out of the car when they towed it. DC sucked, but I wasn't getting sucked in either. (Daddy wasn't Knighted by KofC until 1999... we were dissed)
