Discovering Prince, Ten Years Later

A retrospective marking ten years since Prince's death, curating Anil Dash's writings, podcast appearances, and archival work about Prince. Highlights include a minute-by-minute breakdown of how Purple Rain was created, an analysis of Prince's Super Bowl halftime show as a statement on race and legacy, recovered digital artifacts from Prince's early websites (including his personal liner notes and a letter explaining his name change), and a floppy disk recovery of the Prince symbol font. Also points to the Prince Online Museum, a fan spreadsheet cataloging thousands of Prince recordings, and a talk Dash delivered in Minneapolis connecting Prince's artistic independence to themes of immigration and systemic power.
