    Actually I didn't even know what channel it was on my cable system. I had to scroll through to find it.

    I wanted to see if they were doing anything about Prince. No, just heir usual reality show bullshit.

    And "Nothing Compares 2 You" is the best song Sinead O'Connor never wrote.

    I'm the same way with celeb deaths. The news shook me hard. I posted the Guitar Gently Weeps performance on my Facebook, started listening and started crying.
    Really wanted to see Prince. A friend was at the Atlanta show last week and said it was amazing.
    Too many people get caught up in the name change, the strange behavior and the overplay of 1999 in 1999 and don't realize he was insanely talented.

    So they're saying he was found dead in an elevator ?

    Considering 'Let's Go Crazy'... It's just eerie.

    It's eerie in a sort of psychedelic way that fits the artist.

    you're not watching MTV then.
    They've been showing nothing but Prince performances and videos for the last hour.
    I thought they were going to throw it on the MTV Live channel. They didn't, I tweeted to them that's the move and like 30 minutes later I put on MTV and it's nothing but Prince. My 4-year old keeps watching and I can't tell if she's weirded out or enjoying it.

    The E! News Network - which is specifically for entertainment news - is still showing Kardashian bullshit. That's insane.

    I fired up Spotify to listen to some of his music and there's a message that says something about his publisher asked all streaming services to remove his catalog.

    But Morris Day and The Time are there. So it's not all bad.

    TMZ obtained this photo of Prince leaving a Walgreens near his home in Minnesota Wednesday night at around 7 PM.

    Our sources tell us Prince had frequented the Walgreens for years -- but last night, people at the store were concerned because he looked much more frail and nervous than usual.

    There are going to be an alarming number of pharmacists risking their licenses to look up what medication Prince was taking.
