Say hable ingle...

Tumblr

Been a loooooooong time.

If anyone is reading this, I personally would like to thank you. I recently dug deep in my own archives and found that I used write a lot. I found a LOT of sappy shit, but I could tell I put in all my emotions into writing. I still do this, but on pen and paper and I’m thinking about using Tumblr again to share some of my writing. To all my friends that continue to write on here (if there even any at all), I’m here to join you! However, I’ll probably be making a new blog so like this and I’ll follow you. I look forward to reading what y'all have to share!

Regards,
Matt del Fresco, 8 year Tumblr Veteran

i’m not even gonna say rest in peace because it’s bigger than death. i never met the man (i was too nervous the one time i saw him) and i never saw him play live, regrettably. i only know the legends I’ve heard from folks and what i’ve heard and seen from his deep catalog of propellant, fearless, virtuosic work. my assessment is that he learned early on how little value to assign to someone else’s opinion of you.. an infectious sentiment that seemed soaked into his clothes, his hair, his walk, his guitar and his primal scream. he wrote my favorite song of all time, ‘when you were mine’. it’s a simple song with a simple melody that makes you wish you thought of it first, even though you never would have - a flirtatious brand of genius that feels approachable.  he was a straight black man who played his first televised set in bikini bottoms and knee high heeled boots, epic. he made me feel more comfortable with how i identify sexually simply by his display of freedom from and irreverence for obviously archaic ideas like gender conformity etc. he moved me to be more daring and intuitive with my own work by his demonstration - his denial of the prevailing model…his fight for his intellectual property - ‘slave’ written across the forehead, name changed to a symbol… an all out rebellion against exploitation. A vanguard and genius by every metric I know of who affected many in a way that will outrun oblivion for a long while. I’m proud to be a Prince fan(stan) for life.
