That smirk/scowl is pretty unmistakable. As if the bouncing wasn’t a dead giveaway.

That’s so cool. Good thing they dug this out before it faded into an unusable mess.

Yet another good reason for teacher’s strikes!

I had two different friends at different colleges that both reminded me so much of Prince - in stature and in their face structures - it was uncanny. Of course, none of them had the deity-like skills he had.

this is really cool.

it also occurs to me he’s going to be one of the last celebrities where this is notable. there’s so much home video footage, and then social media video, it’s got to be increasingly difficult to be an unrecorded kid

Especially with sound. Most home movie film cameras were silent. Indeed it was interesting that in 1970 the news was still using film and and had not yet switched to video.
