RIP Prince

I'm in the same boat as @Deskgrunt50 on this one. Don't usually get upset about celebrity deaths but am saddened here.

Prince for me was like Bruce Springsteen for others on the board. I had all the albums, saw him live in concert, hung outside Paisley Park whenever in MSP on the off chance we might see him, went to his store, to Glam Slam, the whole thing.

I am wondering if he had a minor sickness that ballooned into something worse because of his religious beliefs.

 

I didn't say he wasn't that. But he was pure pop.

 

Sure. Thus, the respect I had for him as an artist.

 

Difference being Prince made good music.

 

As do you.

 

Well, I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so.

12 live Prince performances you can watch online

 

He was just in Atlanta last week. I said I couldn't make it but would catch him eventually. Regret that statement. That may have been the last show he ever played.

 

It's a pretty good bet that it was.

 

Just wait for the shit fit the RWSM will throw when Obama reacts publicly to Prince's death. "You weep for Prince but you didn't give a crap about Nancy Reagan. Harrumph! Harrumph! "

 

If he had a talented brother, he would look like Prince.

 

I just checked my FB page and the first 19 posts included a picture of him.

 

Yeah, didn't know if he had any shows between that and getting sick. But duh, definitely his last show.
