A really talented guy.
RIP
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

At the Hall of Fame induction for George Harrison...
The look on George's son's face tells you he thinks Prince is killing it.

Another..."wow". And at 57 - they're getting younger each time.
Having played a number of Prince songs back in the 80's all I can say is RIP. And, respect.

Damn. 2 weeks ago he played a surprise show a few doors from my house. I thought "nah, i'll get him next time." I guess not.
I found his music to be very hit and miss. But even for the stuff i didn't like, you knew he knew exactly what he was doing. And he was doing exactly what he wanted.

Been there, done that. Totally regret it. Will never not live in the moment again. Long story: Chicago. Around 1980. Bob Marley was coming through. I'd never seen him before, but had all of his music and loved it. A young lady I knew had 2 tickets, and invited me, but I turned her down. I was afraid of her, physically. She was Swiss; a tall, solid, bigger than me chiro student at National in Lombard (along with my both of my brothers). She had practiced chiro on me, and let's just say that she wasn't the most gentle I've experienced. As soon as she asked me out, I flashed on the pain likely to come later in the evening, and said "No." One of the dumbest things I've ever done. Bob passed shortly after that show, and I never did get to see him live. I'm still kicking myself for that mistake 36 years later. Wish I could forget. Damn, but could Prince play the guitar!

Very talented guy, if a complete nutter.
Never was a fan, but still sorry to see anyone go so young. I guess now he really is "the artist formerly known as Prince".

Hi,
I think I will watch "Purple Rain" tonight. It remains, for me, the best rock movie ever made, where music and story blended really well, and made the album be better and bigger and the movie stand out.
I'm saddened for the other artists and folks at Paisley Park, and the related families, because they have lost someone that brought out a lot of music and helped a lot of people. Not to mention how many women were in his band ... you would think that someone like him would want some major players ... but no ... he was never afraid of teaching and helping these folks, was he?
RIP is all I can say ... and even that feels empty right now.
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

I think this person's influence goes without saying. I'm quite heartbroken to see him go, and at such a young age, as well. RIP.

People still do die of AIDS, despite the progress that's been made. I just wish someone would do a documentary of some kind celebrating all the great artists we've lost to the disease. They can start with Rock Hudson. The Broadway community was completely destroyed amongst other things.
