Wolf Blitzer, ladies and gentlemen:

Wolf Blitzer: Prince was a "great musician, especially on the guitar." #ripprince

— ErikWemple (@ErikWemple) April 21, 2016

OK, so far, so good. Can he keep it going?

The answer is, of course, no. No, he could not:

Blitzer: "All of us, of course, remember 'Purple Haze' and what that did for the world of music." #ripprince and #ripjimi

This is not a drill.

@ErikWemple He did not fucking say that. Did he?

Well, at least he had the color right …

Um @wolfblitzer just attributed "Purple Haze" to @prince – another reminder of why he bombed on Jeopardy! #thisiscnn #purplehaze #purplerain
