Every Minnesotan, it seems, has their own favorite Prince story.

Either they remember dancing to "Little Red Corvette" in their childhood bedroom or spotting the music legend out on the town.

MPR News host Tom Weber asked the audience to share their memories of Prince this morning. Andrea Swensson, a reporter for MPR's sister station The Current, and Steven Hyden, author of "Your Favorite Band is Killing Me," also joined the conversation.
