In Cleveland on Wednesday, around 400 people clad in purple gathered to participate in a "Prince Day" celebration at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fans showed off their best dance moves and competed in an air guitar contest to songs that included "When Doves Cry." The celebration came on Prince's date of birth. Organizers of the event were careful not to refer to it as a birthday out of respect for the artist's faith as a Jehovah's Witness, whose followers do not celebrate birthdays. Manager of community and family programs for the Rock Hall, Kathryn Metz, said that Prince remains a cultural icon who is important to everyone.
