Mr. Christopher does a last minute show (literally) to discuss the tough week for Prince fans including a Jon Bream review of the state fair, a scathing Rolling Stone review of Timeless, and an admission from the Estate that horn tracks were added to the song Calabama on Prince's new album. Should we be upset? Was it warranted? What started out as a quick show ended up taking on a life all its own.
