    Ok, after the above post I am for sure not out of line for posting this article.
    http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/when-fans-cry-can-you-mourn-someone-you-ve-never-met-1.2871082

    I didn't know Prince...but I mourn him because of the exact reason that quote says he helped me know myself. Prince taught me to be myself and never be afraid to shine or to be who I was born to be. I've been listening to Prince literally since I was in the womb....I came out a Prince fan and I have cried to much...he was so amazing to be and had such a huge impact on my life that I just have a hard time imagining this world without him. The world is less colorful now.

    Thursday night there was a thunder storm...that was the night of his death...my theory is it was Prince, MJ and Whitney reuniting and throwing one hell of a concert in heaven and I am certain that storm rained Purple Rain! :smiley:<3<3<3

    Thought this was very touching....and just the fact that it was the front man for Slipknot blew me away....

    Robert Stigwood (manager and producer), 81, natural causes, January 4, 2016
    David Bowie, 69, liver cancer, January 10, 2016
    René Angélil (husband and manager to Celine Dion), 73, cancer, January 14, 2016
    Dale Griffin (drummer, Mott the Hoople), 67, Alzheimer’s, January 17, 2016
    Glenn Frey (Eagles), 67, complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia, January 18, 2016

    I only have the 80s albums and Diamonds and Pearls so far but I've been going through chronological order on his albums on Tidal. I remember being 3 years old watching MTV while When Doves Cry was played a lot. I had a feeling it wouldn't be the last we would hear of him.

    Thanks for the childhood nostalgia, purple one. RIP

    I was never a fan of prince ... But I certainly can respect his talents and all that he meant to his fans worldwide ... I find It ridiculous that there are people who feel the need to criticize those who mourn his death, and sometimes important celebrities do mean that much to people ... RIP in Prince.

    That's awesome news!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I just still can't wrap my head around it...like this is how I'm going to be too when Eddie passes away which I swear to God had better not be for many many years!!! But I am just so heartbroken. My grandma ordered me a T-shirt to honor him because she knows how sad I am....It's wonderful, because I said once that Prince and Pearl Jam were part of my heartbeat....and that is what the t-shirt is....

    ^^^^^Nice shirt I wonder if they have in a male size. I went through my wardrobe and I barely have anything purple and I like the color.

    Anyway even PRINCE recognizes the greatness of PJ as he covers Evenflow the instrumental way, sadly it's only audio........
