Prince has had lasting impact on his fans. That includes USA TODAY copy editor Sharyn Flanagan, who credits the singer with changing her life. Seriously. At one point, Sharyn was planning to become a nun. Hearing Prince's music changed that life path. She now has eight tattoos of Prince's "love symbol."

This is our first Dad Rock Tuesday without our usual third host Mary Nahorniak, who is on maternity leave. And so this segment is temporarily called 'Tuesdays Without Mary.' Join us each week as other guest hosts sit in and talk about music and life.
