Wolf Blitzer Faces Backlash For Calling Prince’s Album “Purple Haze”
While a majority of the world is mourning the death of cultural icon Prince, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer is busy being a moron.
The long-time political talking head when on live television and waxed poetic about how much the world was moved by Prince’s seminal album “Purple Haze”. Yes. Purple Haze. Jimi Hendrix’s beloved LP.
