"Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
to get through this thing called life
Electric word life It means forever
and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you There's somethin' else
The afterworld a world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night"
- Prince and the Revolution,
"Let's Go Crazy,"
"Purple Rain" (1984)

At a place that you could
Walk across with five steps down."

Today's Quote (10-20-08):

"The summer is gone,
The ground's turning cold,
The stores one by one they're a-foldin'.
My children will go as soon as they grow.
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them."
