20:44pm A hot babe with draped in a white with a big ass train joins mr guitarist. it is stunning! BUT WHERE FOR ART THOU PRINCE??
20:43pm Wait no he hasn’t just some acoustic guitarist playing purple rain.
20:42pm PRINCE HAS ARRIVED WITH PURPLE RAIN!!!
20:41pm Still thundering!! Hurry up!!! I’m ready to go CRAZY!!
20:41pm The sound of thunder strikes!!!!! Does this mean RAIN?
20:40pm Silence fills the arena as screams take over. IT IS TIME!
20:33pmA soft purple light is drenching the crowd, appropriately setting the scene. The arena is yet to fill up but the excitement emanating is tangible! Despite the Janelle Monae rumors, no support acts will be taking the Love Symbol stage this evening. Scheduled to start at 8, in true pop-god form, Prince is fashionably late. But no one seems to give a fuck, Prince is entitled to be late to his own party if he wants to!!
