  Review | Purple Rain: 20th Edition DVD
The new 20th anniversary DVD provides the film -- at last -- in widescreen format, and the two-disc set includes a commentary by the director, producer and cinematographer, as well as terrific documentaries about the Minneapolis music scene, the making of the movie, and the movie's impact on pop culture.
Purple Rain is one of those films that goes a long way to defining its generation.
Though marred by a sometimes simplistic script, it remains a stellar piece of entertainment and a lasting testament to the often jaw-dropping talent of the artist who will forever be known as Prince.

Purple loosestrife, an exotic perennial plant of European origin, was first introduced into eastern North America in the early 1800’s as a garden plant.

 Amazon.ca: Perfect Strangers: Music: Deep Purple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The near lack of sincerity of Deep Purple's reunited friendship is showcased in the hard-hitting, gripping songs, such as the agressive 'Under the Gun,' 'A Gypsy's Kiss,' and the anti-preachy 'Nobody's Home,' as the shaky reunion is captured more sympathetically on the ominous title cut.
This album is a landmark for Deep Purple, and is aptly titled--the band was reunited only by pressure from their public, making them no longer musical mates, but "Perfect Strangers." Not withstanding, the group were not strangers at all when it came to their common goal of making music.
In hindsight how on earth Purple managed to release an album such as Perfect Strangers, which somehow managed to merge the two disparate musical cultures together, is a testament to their abilities as songwriters, musicians and performers.

 Purple Persuasion: Deliberative Rhetoric and Conceptual Blending
In the case of, "I now pronounce you man and wife," the utterance is fully integrated with the marriage frame only when it is uttered by an individual with the proper social authority (a judge, a minister, a priest, etc.), preceded by the appropriate sequence of utterances, and, perhaps, followed by a kiss.
Similarly, in the purple point of contact letter, the solicitation succeeds only if the reader believes that her actions of putting the purple envelope under her pillow and mailing in the donation will result in a blessing.
Similarly, the reader will not carry around the purple envelope or sleep on it unless she or he believes the action will have the spiritual and/or the monetary results implied in the blend.

 Bible Study - Purple
Purple, in the Hebrew of the Old Testament pronounced ar-gaw-mawn, and in the Greek of the New Testament pronounced por-foo-rah, was known to the ancient people of Bible History as a very high-priced dye that the Phoenicians (and others) manufactured from a small gland found in the neck of the mollusk marine mulex trunculus.

 No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Deep Purple
Deep Purple have been around since the 60's and are one of the few bands that remained popular decade after decade, despite numerous line-up changes.
As much as I love Purple, their early albums never thrilled me. It's really trippy, hippy stuff as compared to the in-your-face rock that Purple did with Gillan starting in 1970.
The other thing that I must mention, to Purple's credit, is that they do not sit back and rely on their past hits to sell albums.
