Let's Go Crazy

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for this thing called life but there's something else, the after world. A world that only knows happiness. You can always see the sun. "I'm talking about forever and that's a mighty long time. So when you call upon that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one that tells you things will be alright. This life, you're on your own.

Let's go crazy. Let's get nuts.

I love this song. I work in mental health and I have to laugh about the shrinks. It is like: "Will the real crazy person please stand up?" I won't talk to any of those shrinks. Let's get crazy, let's get nuts. I love to watch Prince dancer and sing. I do believe in the after world and God is there for us. This part is serious. I am sure Prince is with God.

Prince was an entertainer and he did entertain us and I love playing his music still. He was a Prince. About being on our own, we pray to God and he is there for us. We do feel life gets crazy and where I work at, it does. There is laughter, too and caring.

Is this song like a funeral song? In a way but it's about life and I hear rich people see shrinks a lot. It is no crime to seek help for a mental issues. I help my patients and offer words of wisdom. I care about them. As for shrinks, I shouldn't call them that but sometimes they aren't always right.

I am thankful for this Prince song. I just love it. I do dance to it. Life can be good. Thank you, Prince!
