Purple Rain (1984)


A musical directed by Albert Magnoli, starring Prince.
A night club musician has trouble with his parents and with his band. He also meets a girl.
I used to read guitar magazines and they went on and on about how Prince was this great guitarist, but in reality, he barely touches the thing. He does, however, spend a whole lot of time on a purple motorcycle. I'm unsure of how much motorcycle magazines mention him though. The songs were simple and boring except for the little shreddy bits (the only time he actually plays his instrument) in the first few songs. The last songs were really bad. I mean REALLY BAD! The plot was hinted at, but no real story took place. The girlfriend has a group called "The Apollonia 6" that only contains 3 women. Am I missing some inside joke? This is not good. It is bad.
