    In a cosmic coincidence, Niagara Falls is lit up Prince purple tonight in honor of Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday . . . . .

    I heard about a TV weather report where all the rain colors on the weather map were changed to purple. It really shows the depth of his influence.

    Yes,I saw that, pretty awesome... Last night thousands of people flocked to First Ave. Night Club where they were having a tribute party for Prince, so many people showed up that the staff had to rotate people from outside to inside and the cops shut down the streets downtown because it spilled out into the streets surrounding the club and it turned into a huge block party,it just wrapped up at 7 a.m. this morning,but will continue through tomorrow night. There are wild rumors and speculation on what his cause of death is....so sad that every time a celebrity dies that this happens, it detracts from who they were as a person and he was so supportive of local youth inspiring in music and he had contributed so much to our community here as well as the music industry as a whole....he will be sorely missed

    Sweetest thing I thought I would share - Prince's family had ordered pizza last night for everyone outside at Paisley, his sister Tyka was handing out single red roses. Such a wonderful gesture from them amidst their grief...

    Where I came in. Not my thing. Couldn’t avoid it though, it was on her bedroom wall…



    Truly stunned by his death. Had to read the headline a few times. Couldn't believe it, didn't want to. Fuck, he was just in the Bay Area playing shows and hangin' with the Warriors, now gone. FUCKFUCKFUCK

    I just hope the intent in sharing this was sincere though who knows.

    Otherwise, it's kind of a fucked up thing to question, or post.

    RIP Prince

    Never really knew a lot of his music, but always wanted to see him at least once. The man could jam on the guitar.

    Also, check out "While My Guitar Gently Weeps">Prince's solo is so good.

    Of course it's sincere Hedo! http://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/why-it-s-so-hard-to-find-prince-s-original-music-online-1.2870601?google_editors_picks=true
    The Minnesota-born artist was always irritated with the traditional music industry, and hated the fact that even if an artist made millions with a new album, the record label that funded it would always retain full ownership rights.

    Prince's service was held today at Paisley Park, the local news outlets were kind enough to hold off publicizing this until after the service to allow his family, loved ones and friends their privacy. I would like to share some photos taken of some of things outside honoring him. I asked and have permission from the artist (who was kind enough to pose for me with his painting ) Dan Lacey aka "Painter of Pancakes" to share the photo of the painting here. After the service,his family had provided and handed out to fans little purple boxes with momentos inside, as well as sharing flowers from the service to fans. RIP Prince

    I posted this when you pulled this crap in the Bowie thread and apparently you need to read it again. Give learning some compassion a try, it might not be as bad as you think. Even if this didn't affect you it did effect millions world wide. Let those people process in peace.

    Thinking about how we mourn artists we've never met. We don't cry because we knew them, we cry because they helped us know ourselves.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
