    When my sister texted me......did I hear that Prince had died. No I said, the royal family or the Purple One. She answered back PRINCE! I knew who she was talking about and I still can't believe it.

    He was at Electric Fetus on Sat. for record day, made some odd comments about prayers, later on Sat. he still had his infamous 10 dollar cover charge to get in parties at Paisley and was very excited about his new yamaha keyboard he just got....

    Such a huge loss for the music community. Prince was one of a kind. A genius. There will never be another.
    Thank You and Rest in Peace

    His protege, Vanity, died this year as well. He had to land his plane due to a health issue last week and I did say to myself, "Please don't let him be next like Bowie et al."

    Oh and screw TMZ. They're the reason I don't 100 percent believe yet. If true, RIp.

    On that note, I should be grateful I just subscribed to Tidal now that his music is on there.

    TMZ actually has very accurate reporting. They don't normally report things that they haven't verified. Not sure why TMZ has that reputation of reporting false news, because they don't do that and really never have. And if they get something wrong they immediately retract just like any ofher news outlet. I guess people make assumptuons about TMZ because they cover celebrity news. Okay. But they cover celebrity news accurately and are on the up and up legally.

    Prince was one of the few guitarists that actually could make the guitar sound like it was singing - like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. I remember working in Sam Goody's as a senior in high school when "1999" came out. Awesome in concert!
    Oddly enough, earlier today my son Max and I were comparing the end of "Purple Rain" and the end of "Come Back" by Pearl Jam. Those songs always remind me of each other. We had no idea Prince passed away. A few hours later, I was in my allergist office and I heard the news over the radio. Unbelievable. RIP Prince - such a loss.
    No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead...

    This is such a great song, thank you, Prince. And I love Brandi Carlile. (The Chris Cornell version of it is also amazing.)

    I got a text on the way to work I thought it might be important from my hubby about moving so I peaked, it was my mom it said "apparently Prince died"...
    Um, excuse me, THE HELL HE DID!
    So driving to work, I broke so many laws and googled it while driving to disprove her that it was just a hoax like when they said Jon Bon Jovi died....but it was true....I'm gutted, I'm crushed, I'm devastated, I'm heartbroken, I ADORED that man!!!

    RIP Prince....Rock it with MJ!!!

    I love 7.

    The harmonies are phenomenal, it's probably my favorite too.
