ENTERTAINMENT DROPPINGS: Holy Poop, Prince Turned 50 Today

In some ways, it feels like only yesterday that I was pumping quarters into the newfangled "video jukebox" inside a video arcade at the then-named Marriott's Great America so that I and my other fellow eighth graders could watch the brand-new video for 1999 over and over again. Now I find out that Prince is fifty years old today. Happy birthday, li'l guy. Please don't have your lawyer contact me to take down my YouTube link, it would really spoil the mood.
