You realize this doesn't count unless Al posts it?

I'm relieved, I thought this was about my old friend, Prince Bassey, in Nigeria. I once assisted the Prince in putting out a fire under the hood of his Vega when we were undergrads.

 ;D Great screencap Chris!!!  ;D

But sorry to hear about Prince.  Not always my cup of tea but he was a musical genius, an amazing guitarist, and as I understand, a class act too.  I always respected the man for staying true to his Midwest roots and not being sucked into the LA/NY vortex.  RIP...

Not trying to be a tool but when he played at the Super Bowl a few years back he was absolutely positively NOT playing his guitar during one of his big "solos" - pre-recorded stuff.
Oh well, maybe it was meant to be a tribute to Millie vanillie or whatever their name was...
