New Yorkers Go Crazy for Prince
On Thursday night, New York City, like much of the rest of the music-loving world, came together to celebrate the incomparable genius of the pop artist Prince. “Hamilton” cast members ended their performance with a raucous “Let’s Go Crazy” dance session; resourceful fans converted the Prince Street subway station, in SoHo, into an makeshift memorial. The photographer Jonno Rattman headed to Fort Greene, Brooklyn, to attend a block party hosted by Spike Lee, then dropped in to Questlove’s Prince-themed d.j. set at Brooklyn Bowl, in Williamsburg. The crowd members were mournful, ecstatic, eccentric, and ready to dance. Per Spike Lee’s request, more than a few wore purple.
