  2. I loved Prince but sure as hell don't want one of those ugly tags on my building.

  3. I saw a bench in East River Park that was spray painted purple. It looked like crap. Honestly people, of you want to honor Prince find a better way to do it than through vandalism and polluting the environment with toxic fumes from spray paint.

  4. Oh shut up 10:08pm. More purple benches regardless of Prince!
