Did I dust off all of the cobwebs?
I haven't actively listened to Prince since September. I'm expecting a crazy music high when I relapse. I literally recall the song I specifically chose to play. I listened to Venus De Milo to stop an anxiety attack because me and that song are forever but that's it. It started with the casual near existential crisis (almost always triggered by the internet calling him out) I have every time I think about his predatory behavior for too long. The older I get, the more wrong his wrongs become but also more complex. So, it started with that. I felt uncomfortable and almost kinda embarrassed.
Then, like usual, that feeling faded but I didn't jump back in yet... I kinda just kept skipping the songs until a few days ago. Erotic City came on (and it was the 12 inch!!!😭) and for some reason, I didn't skip it. The rush I felt listening to it was something unreal... Plus that's one of my favorite songs. Then, like I never even listened to it, I went back to skipping the songs. Now, I'm counting down to the moment that I go back because I know my Prince cherry is getting popped again and I know I'm going to feel it... But it just isn't time yet.
