   Tomorrow marks 10 years since Prince passed. For the first time, I gathered nearly two decadesq of my writing, podcasts, talks & more into one curated resource, including playlists, rarities, a review of every video he ever made, and collaborations I did with his estate. I close it out with a talk I gave in Minneapolis on Prince’s birthday just after he passed – one of my most personal ever, and one I’m most proud of. I hope you’ll check it out. https://anildash.com/2026/04/20/prince-ten-years/

     @anildash It was kind of amazing that we were both in Minneapolis a month after it happened, I very much still felt his presence everywhere there and you were an incredible guide to all his haunts.

     @mathowie @anildash When I heard the news, my first thought was, “Oh, no.” My second was, “Poor Anil.”

     @allenbrunson okay. Pretty much everybody I’ve talked to who worked with him or had a relationship with him talks about him in the opposite way, even if they stopped working together on less-than-positive terms

     @anildash he was an incredible musician, no doubt. but i had to stop listening to him because he was such a terrible human being. it quite often comes through in his lyrics, how little regard he has for anybody but himself.

     @anildash aww, man. surely you are not going to defend how he left sheila e in debt after a tour, taking advantage of her naivete. or the way he treated appolonia right there onscreen in “purple rain.” many more of those i could dig up if was so inclined.
