Oh Happy Day! After learning many years ago that a bunch of Prince& #39;s recordings (esp NPG era) weren& #39;t available on Spotify, I never searched for them again. Turns out pretty much all his back catalogue was released in Aug & #39;18! So now I have Gold, on repeat, and will have all day.

And yes that does mean that I& #39;ve been streaming Gold on YouTube anytime I wanted to hear it for the last 5 years. The upside was it led to a rabbit hole day with my little girl a few years ago watching Prince videos and her marvelling at his While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo

Here& #39;s Gold for ya. Some say it& #39;s his Purple Rain of the 90s. Even has a sample in the background if you listen hard enough. Pound for Pound, probably my favourite Prince song. Not even joking. For me, it& #39;s just absolute Princely perfection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IQE62Vn4_U">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Oddly enough if I usually tweet about non F1 stuff I& #39;m told to stick to F1. So here& #39;s a Princely F1 Gold Nugget. Back in 2011, Lewis Hamilton paid $100,000 to charity for Prince& #39;s incredible gold Fender Strat, created by Belarussian Fender master builder Yuriy Shishkov.

Prince played the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix back in 2010. It is a regret I will take to my grave that when asked if I wanted to go to the gig I said, "nah, there& #39;ll be another time."

There wasn& #39;t, of course.

Here he is from that night, MadCat Hohner Telecaster wailing.

Prince loved the Hohner Tele. He had a few of them. It& #39;s the guitar on which he delivered possibly the greatest showstopper. What happened to it at the end only Prince really knows. I& #39;d like to think it was waiting for him on a cloud when he got up there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
