Prince's Unreleased 'Why The Butterflies' Just Dropped And It's A Must-Hear
Prince fans around the world are in celebration! At long last, Piano & A Microphone 1983, "a collection of demos and unreleased tracks that Prince recorded at his home studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota," is going to see public release. Leading up to its September 21 drop, the Prince Estate and Warner Bros. Records have released Prince's never-before-heard single "Why the Butterflies," to build some hype...and it's essential listening for anyone and everyone!
The track, which features a distinctly bluesy feel, is one of three tracks seeing the light of day for the first time on the new album. The other two are "Wednesday" and "Cold Coffee & Cocaine," which fans are eager to hear for real after imagining them for so long.
Piano & A Microphone 1983 will also include the previously released songs "17 Days" and "Mary Don't You Weep," (the latter of which appeared in Spike Lee's newest film, BlacKkKlansman).
The internet was, and always will be, in awe of Prince's work:

There's something seeing a person litter that drives me up the wall. I remember being a kid and being explicitly told to hold on to my trash and not just throw it in the street. As a kid, I distinctly remember being made fun of for not just throwing the bag of chips I'd just eaten or an empty soda bottle into the gutter.
I can't imagine doing that. Why?! We truly treat this planet as if we have somewhere else to go.

The cinema has long been a savior of mine and has given me some of my greatest inspirations. But being an avid film watcher has also made me quite the critic. I can always tell when a movie is worth the money to see in theaters or wait until it's on basic cable with commercials. The signs of mediocrity abound, and sometimes they aren't that difficult to spot.
Redditor u/fjv08kl wanted to know what is obvious about mediocre cinema by asking.... What are some subtle 'red flags' that tell you a movie is not worth watching?
