Send Steve a Text MessageYou can spend 30 years with a guitar in your hands and still feel like you're guessing. That's why this conversation with Perry lands so hard. He grew up in Casper, Wyoming with music in the house, built a band in the early 80s, and even got the kind of wild, last-minute call every guitarist dreams about: his group stepped in as a backup band for Blue Oyster Cult when another act didn't show. Amazing story, but it also revealed something deeper. Surviving a gig is not the same as understanding your instrument.Perry takes us through Arizona stage tech work, a move to Alaska, an electronics degree, and a 30-year career with the FAA. When retirement hits, the desire to really learn guitar comes roaring back but the local scene feels tense and unwelcoming. So he makes a different choice: an online guitar academy built around structure, coaching, and a supportive guitar community.We talk about the shift from playing by ear and memorizing parts to understanding chord structures, smoother chord changes, key changes, and why ear training becomes the next mountain to climb. Perry shares how much more confident he feels now, how jam sessions turn lessons into real music, and why songs like As My Guitar Gently Weeps and Purple Rain are perfect vehicles for growth.If you're an adult guitar learner chasing real progress, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a guitarist friend, and leave a review with the one skill you want to master next.Thanks for being here!!

There's a game Cava Menzies plays with her students. She asks each of them to say a word — snowfall, nightmare, dragons — and then she translates it into music on the piano right in front of them. Every time, something magical happens in the room. In the tenth and final episode of our Wired to Create series, Cava — musician, educator, and founding faculty at Oakland School for the Arts — makes the case that music isn't a talent reserved for the few. It's a birthright we've somehow talked ourselves out of using. Please share this episode with anyone in your life who has decided music isn't for them. Check out Cava and her OSA students singing Purple Rain on stage with Coldplay's Chris Martin HERE. This episode was made possible by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation.

Welcome to "Travel to Listen," a new Unpacked series hosted by veteran music journalist Tim Chester. Over four episodes rolling out every other week, Tim takes us into the cities where music is more than entertainment—it's the shortcut to a place's soul. This week, he heads to Minneapolis to hear how a community center, a cold climate, and a once-in-a-generation genius combined to create one of the most distinctive sounds in American music, plus how the city is celebrating a decade since Prince's passing. In this episode How the Minneapolis sound emerged from the Great Migration, housing segregation, rock radio, and a community center called The Way, where a teenage Prince jammed alongside Morris Day and Terry Lewis Why Paul Peterson (dubbed St. Paul by Prince himself) believes the Minneapolis sound is joyous, funky, and built to last, and how his supergroup, the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, is carrying it forward The story of historian Kristen Zschomler: how grief over Prince's death led her to track 50+ locations across Minneapolis where he lived, worked, and recorded, and her ongoing mission to get them on the National Register of Historic Places What Prince mastered at his childhood home in North Minneapolis. Plus, why Sound 80, the studio where he cut his first demo tapes at 19, was the launchpad for everything that followed How to experience Minneapolis in 2026: from Paisley Park to First Avenue, Bunkers Music Bar to the Dakota, and the five-day Prince Celebration festival in June marking the 10th anniversary of Prince's death Meet this week's guests Paul Peterson is a musician, songwriter, and former Prince collaborator, dubbed "St. Paul" by the Purple One himself. He was a member of The Time and The Family, appeared in Purple Rain, and is now the leader of the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, an all-star alumni supergroup dedicated to keeping the Minneapolis sound alive. Kristen Zschomler⁠ is a historian and co-founder of the International Center 4 Prince Studies. She gives guided tours of Prince's Minneapolis and created Sound Around Tours, a self-guided audio tour app. She has researched and documented over 50 locations tied to Prince's life and work, and has successfully advocated for two of them to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Guest host ⁠Tim Chester⁠ is a freelance travel and culture writer who has spent the past 20 years exploring the world through the lens of music. His reporting has appeared in NME, Spin, and Afar, and his travels have taken him from Manhattan to Malawi and Beijing to Berlin in search of the festivals, scenes, and stories that reveal a city's soul. Chapters 00:00:00 Welcome to Minneapolis 00:01:00 The Minneapolis Funk All-Stars 00:03:45 Music as Healing 00:06:45 What Made Minneapolis a Crucible 00:09:30 The Way and the Scene's Roots 00:12:45 Prince's Landmarks 00:15:30 Celebrating a Decade Since Prince A Music Fan's Travel Guide to Minneapolis Minneapolis is a walkable city with a thriving live music scene, and the landmarks of the Minneapolis sound are spread across a compact, navigable footprint. Here's how to do it like a fan. Start here: the essential stops Paisley Park—Prince's home, recording complex, and creative sanctuary in Chanhassen, just outside the city. Now a museum and events venue. Prince's childhood home—the North Minneapolis house where he mastered the piano, decoded albums note by note, and became Prince. Sound 80 Studios—the recording studio where a 19-year-old Prince cut the demo tapes that landed him his Warner Brothers contract. First Avenue—the venue Prince made famous in Purple Rain (he also recorded the song there, performing it live for the first time on that stage). Hear live music Bunkers Music Bar & Grill—the historic North Loop spot where Dr. Mambo's Combo plays every Sunday and Monday night. The Dakota—an intimate downtown jazz club with a packed calendar every night of the week. The Green Room—the venue where St. Paul and the Minneapolis Funk All Stars frequently play Plan for June Celebration 2026—the annual Prince estate event runs June 3–7 this year as a five-day gathering with concerts, dance parties, and unseen footage. The International Center 4 Prince Studies has programming June 1–2 as well, and a new community museum opening in North Minneapolis that flips the curatorial lens: instead of Prince's instruments, it collects the stories of the people he touched. Artists to watch L.A. Buckner and Big Homie David Feily Cory Wong Dylan Salfer Chris Lawrence Alex Rossi Nur-D Nunnabove Up next on Travel to Listen Tim heads to Southern California to explore the spacey, grungy desert rock scene—and to find out there's a lot more to the region than Coachella.

Amer Rez is back with filmmaker and comedian Miguel McKenna for a hilariously unfiltered, free-flowing conversation recorded live right outside the M Hotel. They bypass the usual podcast pleasantries and dive straight into a chaotic blend of deep-cut cinema and everyday absurdities. Whether they are breaking down the physical mechanics of swimming and the realities of dealing with uneven leg lengths, or debating the logistics of balancing dinner timelines with dating in your thirties, the chemistry is fast, loose, and completely authentic.For the film buffs, Miguel delivers his definitive, non-negotiable list of 10/10 cinematic masterpieces—trading thoughts on everything from *The Elephant Man* and *Zodiac* to the atomic-age terror of the 1951 classic *The Day the Earth Stood Still*. The conversation spins wildly from high-brow movie analysis into the surreal, touching on UFO disclosures, corporate conspiracy theories hidden inside *Monsters, Inc.*, and a gold-tier workplace story involving a legendary Lebanese coworker who claims to be a national karaoke champion for his rendition of Prince's *Purple Rain*. It's a hilarious, fast-paced hour of sharp commentary and great storytelling that feels exactly like catching up with your funniest friends.

Welcome to what will effectively serve as my newest installment, Peak Dust. No theme or general direction other than the slowed and throwed Drake run, which was the idea that I referred to have had last episode. The One-Take-Timmy manual analog DJ Screwification of Purple Rain is probably my favorite portion of this episode. This is another late installment but I had family in town for a week, we went to a Western Conference Finals game. Got to see Wembanyamcheese. Today I had to bust up some local Pokemon hotspots and reclaim some lost territory over the week. Finally here I am to deliver the goods to ye the patient populous of the interwebs. Thank you, as always for being here. I'll be here next weekYour Host with the Most,DJ Witwicka Juan Don

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Canton, producer of 300, Immortals, Men in Black, Air Force One, and My Best Friend's Wedding, former President of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., and former Chairman of Columbia Pictures and Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Companies, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by passion and instinct. From delivering mail on the Warner Bros. lot as a college student to greenlighting some of Hollywood's most beloved films, Canton reflects on the legends he learned from, the risks he took, and why he still smells the circus every time he walks onto a sound stage.Queens, New York, and Family (02:34): Canton traces his love of film to a father who survived being shot down over France in WWII, won an Oscar for a short film on Van Gogh, and went on to do publicity for Hitchcock and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to a mother who was a published poet. The movies, he says, were always destiny.Learning from the Greats on Papillon (15:22): Working for director Franklin Schaffner in Jamaica and living between the houses of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, Canton learned what it meant to commit to a film.From the Warner Bros. Mail Room to Running the Studio (20:31): Canton traces his rise from UCLA film student to head of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., sharing stories about the Vacation franchise, Caddyshack, and Lethal Weapon.Taking the Helm at Columbia Pictures (39:22): Recruited by Peter Guber and Jon Peters, Canton became Chairman of Columbia Pictures and later oversaw Columbia TriStar. He reflects on the team he assembled and the record-breaking run that followed, including Jerry Maguire, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bad Boys, and Air Force One.The Art of the Difficult Screening (47:51): Canton recounts two defining test screening moments: a chaotic preview of Scorsese's The Age of Innocence in a New Jersey bowling alley, and a tough audience response to Luc Besson's Léon: The Professional that led to an ultimatum and a reworked film that became a modern classic.The Cable Guy and No Regrets (50:43): Canton defends paying Jim Carrey $17 million and notes what history confirmed: the film launched Ben Stiller's directing career, introduced Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Judd Apatow. He also recalls his affectionate standoff with Mike Nichols over the ending of Wolf.What Keeps Audiences Coming Back (54:50): Canton argues that what fills theaters today is the same thing that made Purple Rain a phenomenon: the feeling of a live, communal, irreplaceable experience.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Mark CantonProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Mark Canton:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_CantonIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004799/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcanton/?hl=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Bienvenue dans cette nouvelle ère de VIOLET, le podcast entièrement dédié au Minneapolis Sound et à Prince.Aujourd'hui, nous plongeons dans les méandres des années 1980 pour décrypter la genèse d'un groupe légendaire et de ses deux premiers albums : The Time.En 1981, freiné par la censure qui touche son album Dirty Mind, Prince cherche un moyen d'infiltrer les radios R&B américaines sans compromettre son propre nom. La solution ? Écrire pour les autres, mais pas pour n'importe qui. De retour dans son home studio de Chanhassen, il s'associe à son vieux copain Morris Day pour concevoir, à deux et en secret, le premier album éponyme de The Time puis un second opus What Time Is It ? Derrière l'illusion d'un groupe de six musiciens (pour la plupart issus de la formation Flytetyme), Prince pose en réalité les fondations de son premier groupe satellite. En endossant pour la première fois le costume de producteur de l'ombre, il va créer sa propre concurrence... et libérer un monstre de groove qui finira par lui échapper.Dans cet épisode, vous découvrirez :

Nearly perfect albums are a trap and we walked straight into it. We go down a punchy list of 1980s rock staples and actually argue the hard part: what makes a classic rock record feel flawless from top to bottom, and what makes it feel “too polished” even when the songs are huge. From Back In Black to Appetite For Destruction to Purple Rain, we swap favorites, call out the moments where bands start chasing the mainstream, and talk about how producers and the 80s studio sound shaped what we still hear today.Then we hit the headlines with music news that's equal parts heartfelt and nerdy. We talk about Dolly Parton stepping away from her Las Vegas residency for health reasons, the growing wave of big releases and comebacks, and the live music trend that sent us spiraling: metal shows inside caves. If you've ever wondered how acoustics, reflective surfaces, and a room full of bodies change a mix after soundcheck, we break it down in plain English.We also bring the community into the driver's seat with the question of the day: what 70s or 80s artist had a completely unique sound? The crew drops everything from Bowie and Hendrix to Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Run-DMC, and more. Add current country and rock charts, a quick 2001 time capsule on radio and CDs, and a mailbag on branding and “too polished” artists, and you've got a full hour of music podcast conversation that feels like hanging with real fans.

This was a really interesting show, We talk about the greatest singers of the 90's and historical figures we would like to have dinner with.in reviews, we talk about the 1984 masterpiece Purple Rain by Prince and the 2014 Michael Keaton film Birdman.

Adam and Dan recap Adam's bizarre recent gig where his voice failed on some songs but suddenly returned mid-set, helped by Amber, and he tested gear including an M5 mic he now praises and a trem setter that improved his Vibrant guitar's tuning stability. They shout out listener Jason Hughes from Dayton, Ohio (Simple Daze), then pivot to Rolling Stone's new “100 Greatest Guitar Solos” list, calling it infuriating rage bait and introducing a “Greatest List Bingo Card” to flag predictable contrarian picks. They debate snubs and weird placements (e.g., “Sultans of Swing,” “Cliffs of Dover,” “Free Bird”), critique questionable inclusions, compare overlap with Guitar World's 2022 reader poll, and run through Rolling Stone's top 20, reacting to live-cut pretension and the surprising #1 pick: Prince's “Purple Rain.”

The question is crickets or sad trombone as we talk about mosquitos, Sliders, The Mummy, pretzels, The Hidden Fortress, aspect ratio, Purple Rain, There Is No Antimemetics Division, Barnes and Noble, Hopalong Cassady, SNL, Harry Potter, GameStop wants to buy eBay, GameStop's Pokémon gambling, James Bond 26, Heredis, Planet of the Apes, I Want My MTV, animatronic Grogu, Treasure Island, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and the Escape from New York reboot. So, grab your Bavarian Legend, it's time for a GeekShock.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest film critic and author Willow Catelyn Maclay discuss the iconic pioneering funk, rock and pop musician (and androgenous sex symbol) Prince with a double feature of his screen debut in the quasi-autobiographical rock opera/concert musical PURPLE RAIN (1984) + his directorial debut UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (1986), a strange post-modern pastiche of Old Hollywood rom-coms and European art films.

This week's pick comes from Patreon supporter Tony, who's taken us straight into the neon-soaked world of Purple Rain—a film that's as much a cultural moment as it is a movie. Directed by Albert Magnoli and starring music legend Prince in his film debut, Purple Rain was created as a semi-autobiographical vehicle to launch Prince into global superstardom. Produced on a modest budget of around $7.2 million, the film was shot primarily in Minneapolis, grounding it in the real club scene that shaped Prince's early career. The First Avenue nightclub, where much of the film takes place, became an iconic cultural landmark thanks to its role in the movie.Upon release, the film was a major commercial success, grossing over $70 million at the box office and becoming a defining entry in 1980s music cinema. Its soundtrack, driven by Prince's genre-blending sound, became one of the best-selling albums of all time. While critical reception to the film itself was mixed at the time, its legacy has only grown, cementing its place as a cult classic and a cornerstone of pop culture history.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a city pulsing with neon lights… one man is about to turn sound into revolution.He's got the talent. He's got the attitude. But in a world where music is everything… the stage isn't just a platform—it's a battlefield. As rival bands close in and the pressure builds, one performer must decide if he's ready to rise… or fall into the shadows.This summer… feel the beat. Face the struggle. And witness the moment a legend is born.Fun FactsThe film was designed specifically to showcase Prince's musical talent and expand his audience beyond music fansFirst Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis is still a functioning venue and a pilgrimage site for fansThe soundtrack album won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score“When Doves Cry” was a massive hit despite having no bass line, which was highly unusual at the timePrince reportedly maintained a mysterious, aloof persona on set, rarely breaking characterThe film's wardrobe, particularly the purple trench coat, became instantly iconic in 80s fashionMorris Day and The Time were real-life collaborators of Prince and added authenticity to the performancesThe script underwent multiple rewrites during production to better align with Prince's imageThe movie helped redefine how music and film could be integrated as a commercial strategyDespite mixed reviews, it has since been preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry for cultural significanceSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Dearly Beloved, We Are Gathered Here to Talk About Purple Rain Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast. Hosts Krissy Lenz (comedian and director at Neighborhood Comedy Theatre) and Nathan Blackwell (independent filmmaker at Squishy Studios) are joined this week by not one but two returning special guests—podcaster and writer Kyle Olson and podcast producer and improv impresario Pete Wright—to dig into one of the most electric, beguiling, and undeniably Prince films ever committed to celluloid: Purple Rain (1984).Neither Krissy nor Nathan had ever seen the movie before this episode—a confession that earns them some gentle ribbing from the two superfans across the table. What unfolds is a warm, funny, and genuinely insightful conversation about Prince as performer, The Kid as character, and what it means to watch a film that is less a story and more a time capsule from another world.

On today's show, Prince releases his follow up to Purple Rain & the man who opened Woodstock passes away.For more music history, subscribe to my Spotify Channel or subscribe to the audio version of my music history podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts fromALL MUSIC HISTORY TODAY PODCAST NETWORK LINKS - https://allmylinks.com/musichistorytodayChapters: 00:00 Intro 00:32 What happened on this date in music history04:35 Music award ceremonies that were held on this date in music history04:58 Albums released on this date in music history 06:15 Singles released on this date in music history 06:34 Birthdays of music artists on this date in music history 07:31 Passings of music artists on this date in music history 09:00 What's on tomorrow's episode

Laughter ~ Purple Rain (13 August 1994 - Austin, TX)

Am 21. April 2016 ist Ausnahmetalent Prince gestorben. Auf dem SWR Podcastfestival 2026 haben wir ihn und seinem legendären Album "Purple Rain" gefeiert – mit spannenden Gästen. "Purple Rain" von Prince gilt als sein großes Meisterwerk, auch wenn er mit anderen Alben wie zum Beispiel "Sign O' The Times" ebenfalls sehr erfolgreich gewesen ist. Für den Auftritt beim SWR Podcastfestival in Mannheim am 12. April 2026 hat sich das Team der Meilensteine dieses legendäre Album ausgesucht, weil sich im April der Todestag von Prince zum 10. Mal jährt. Am 21. April 2016 gegen 19 Uhr abends hat sich die Meldung vom plötzlichen Tod des Megastars wie ein Lauffeuer in der deutschen Medienlandschaft verbreitet. Mit "Purple Rain" verändert sich vieles für Prince. Zum einen kann er sein Management und das Label überzeugen, dass "Purple Rain" nicht nur ein Album wird, sondern auch ein Film. An der Idee eines Films hatte der Künstler schon länger gearbeitet, erzählt Stephan Fahrig im Podcast. Neben dem Album war auch der Film "Purple Rain" sehr erfolgreich. Er spielte an den Kinokassen das Zehnfache seiner Kosten ein und wurde zusätzlich noch mit einem Oscar ausgezeichnet – für den besten Filmsong! Aber noch eine wichtige Sache verändert sich: Ab dem Album "Purple Rain" hat Prince eine feste Band an seiner Seite, statt wie vorher verschiedene, einzelne Musiker. Der Name der Band: The Revolution. Und mit der festen Band ändert sich auch die Arbeitsweise von Prince, denn ab sofort sollte es feste Proben geben – teilweise zehn bis 12 Stunden pro Tag. Zu Gast in der Alten Feuerwache in Mannheim war auch Jens Ritter. Er ist Gitarrenbauer aus Deidesheim und hat gleich mehrere Gitarren für Prince gebaut. Im Interview auf der Bühne hat erzählte er, wie die Verbindung zu dem Megastar entstanden ist. Er berichtete auch, wie es für ihn war, Prince zu treffen. Für Jens Ritter hat Prince nämlich nicht nur den Stempel "Rock- und Poplegende" sondern auch "Lifecoach". "Diese Stunden und dieser Tag haben mein Leben tatsächlich extrem verändert", erzählt Ritter im Gespräch mit Reporter Patrick Schütz. Der Song "Purple Rain" ist nicht nur der letzte Song auf dem legendären und gleichnamigen Album von Musikikone Prince, sondern es war auch der letzte Song, den er jemals öffentlich performt hat, nur wenige Tage vor seinem Tod am 21. April 2016. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Purple Rain" sprechen wir im Podcast (16:56) – "Let's Go Crazy" (45:28) – "Darling Nikki"(59:12) – "When Doves Cry"(01:06:34) – "Purple Rain"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Ramones" findet ihr hier: https://x.swr.de/s/princepurplerain __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

In today's episode, Jesse discuss the significance of the 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams tour. Jesse argues the 2026 tour is a “patriotic protest tour” centered on democracy, freedom, and the Constitution, citing song choices like “War,” a reclaimed “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Purple Rain,” and “Clampdown,” and suggests it may serve as a punctuation mark in Springsteen's story!
