Going to see Prince at Paisley Park tonight! (...and now he's gone)

[Ooh-Rah]

-- SIGH --

Saw him play guitar once with Lenny Kravitz. Amazing. He was iconic. RIP.

 

[BloodStripe]

I was never a huge fan, but it's not hard to hear his talent.

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

RIP Prince. Such a shame, at 57.

 

[Devildoc]

Dang. Sad to hear.

2016 is dropping bodies like cholera.

Mr Reaper has been busy, and doesn't seem to be satisfied yet.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

The fans flock to First Avenue in tribute. If you saw Purple Rain, you know the relevance of First Avenue.

 

[Grunt]

Rest In Peace and thanks for the many memorable years of music.

Never liked Prince a day in my life- but his talent and his influence are impossible to deny.

2016 is giving 2009 a run for its title of "Best Celebrity Death Pool" year.

 

[Muppet]

Found on facebook. Too soon?

Ironic, all things considered.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Arguably the greatest Superbowl performance ever - though you'll get no argument from me.

Purple Rain - uninterrupted

Let's go Crazy - uninterrupted

With some commentary, but still worth a listen...

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Both the music and the interview worth watching. How can a man with such a deep voice sing those damn high notes!?!

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Prince and Lenny Kravitz - f'ing amazing

 

[Ooh-Rah]

I know I'm geeking out of this shit tonight, but I'm such a fan of his music, and his ability to thrash on a guitar, I genuinely hope that some of you take some time over the next few weeks to just watch (and crank loudly) the talent of this man.

Rest in Peace you talented mother fucker.

 

[Frank S.]

Happy trails...
Chemtrails...

I dug some of his stuff. But I found him to be hit or miss. Anyway...

Will never regret camping out in my car in a parking lot to get tickets for the Purple Rain concert in L.A. Long, long time ago. Still had the ticket stubs up until a few years ago. Too many of my college days and nights were tied up with his music to ever really want to say goodbye.

 

[AWP]

I'm not broken up over his loss, but respect the immense amount of talent he possessed. I don't know that I ever heard "arrogant" used to describe him and by all accounts he seemed to be a very decent human being.

After the Dave Chappelle/ Charlie Murphy skits featuring him, Prince released a single, Breakfast Can Wait. The album cover is below.

If you can't respect the man for that I don't know what to say.

Game: Blouses.
