The Purple One was so inspired by my Vikings' ruthless performance last week that he wrote and recorded a rousing fight song for the team in a single night. The lyrics are pretty absurd: "We r all amped up like a rock n roll band/Ready 2 celebrate every score/Ready 2 fight the elegant war." I get the sense that Prince doesn't really hasn't watched a lot of football. Elegant war? The National Football League a stunning spectacle that celebrates everything that is good and bad about this country. The oxymoron "elegant war" doesn't begin to cover the contradictions that the NFL carries in its soul.
But I think the song is just further proof that Prince is among the most inspired men on the planet. Literally everything that swings into the orbit of Prince gets translated into a song: sex fiends, various jewels, oddly colored rain, Batman, oral sex, Reagan's Cold War politics, and, evidently, winning football teams. The only place on the planet that seems to be more grotesquely fecund than the Amazon rain forest is Prince's Paisley Park Studios.
Dig out your horned helmet folks because Old Man Favre is going to run roughshod over this snooty little asshole this Sunday. Long reign the purple and gold.
