The official video for Prince's new single "Rock & Roll Love Affair" (see also; "R&R Affair") apparently dropped on Thanksgiving Day but I am just now removing the turkey-grease goggles and getting around to watching it. Turns out it is everything I could reasonably hope for from an official Prince video in 2012, which is to say it features Prince and the NPG playing the song the whole way through, plus bonus points for Andy Allo being on camera. Also I get to type the words "official Prince video in 2012." Then at the end, as if to acknowledge what a rare amazing event that simple premise is, P sly-ly waves goodbye to the camera, as if to say "ok, back to the fortress of purple solitude."
