    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!!!

    Producer: “Are you OK?”
    Prince: “Can you make it rain harder?”

    I love 7.

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