If some of your co-workers look a little bleary-eyed Friday morning it may be because they spent a long night at the Xcel Energy Center Thursday night honoring the memory of Prince.

"The Official Prince Tribute: A Celebration of Life and Music" was nearly five hours long and featured a parade of musicians performing songs written by the late great rock star.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Andrea Swensson of The Current who was there.
