Would not be surprised. When one gets into the 40’s or 50’s, health issues begin to come into the picture.

If I could just have someone to speak to people for me I’d be in heaven!

My wife is a flight attendant. She had Prince on a flight quite a while back. She made the mistake of speaking to him to see if he wanted anything to drink. His bodyguard ordered for him.

To heck with being rich or famous. If I could just have someone to speak to people for me I’d be in heaven!

The editor said it was pretty strange having to speak to Prince through another person when he's sitting right there.

I forgot about the best part though. He was dating Kim Basinger at the time and she was always there with him. Needless to say the editor (a male) was a little distracted. :)

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here 2day 2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life, it means 4ever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here 2 tell U there’s somethin’ else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when U call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Cuz in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life U’re on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring U down, go crazy
Punch a higher floor!

"The artist formerly known as ALIVE.....

“I wonder who will be the last of this triplet of creative giants to pass on. Bowie, Prince, and...?” — Elton. .

Bernie Taupin is the creative giant, not Elton.

In the final days, it was clear he had a wasting disease.

The big fro wig he was wearing was probably a clue.

I was in a hotel with him once. We weren’t even allowed to stop on the floor he was on.

I know—but Elton is the public voice.

Elton wouldn’t even BE without Bernie.

I for one, love our Lord’s timing.

Sorry to see such a young talent leave so early, he had more talent in that little 5’2” body than most artists today.

Bathroomgate is such a farce, the twists and turns this joke has taken reveal to me that it’s ALL a damn set up.
For .0004% of the population, really??

Off to listen to some Prince - he was unique and extremely gifted.

Th radio is bashing Wolfe Blitzer.

Wolf is getting confused with Jimi Hendrix and Prince. And confused Purple Haze with Purple Rain.

How long since Jimi died? And where was Wolfe?
