Damn. Now we’ll NEVER get a Weird Al parody of any of his music.

Yep, Morris Day and the Time was the best thing that came out from Prince, LOL.

I’m listening to “Wild and Loose” right now.

The big afro he had seemed weird to me for someone who is 57. Now it seems obvious that it must have been a wig.

Probably walking pneumonia then.

Wonder if he refused antibiotics because of his religion?

I think I am the only one who did not care for his music

You're not alone....but at least his mediocre music wasn't rap. Something to be said for that...I guess.

I bought his first album without ever hearing it after I read an article in “Modern Recording” about him, and his ability to record, engineer, and play all the instruments on the album. I have been a fan ever since. He was 1 year older than me.

RIP, Prince.

Never was a big Prince fan, but do think he was under appreciated as a guitar player. The link you posted is a perfect illustration and gives context. Close your eyes and that Prince solo could be Hendrix.

“————————— we have to be bored by those Freeps who just have to tell us how they don’t like Prince”

No you don’t——just log off.

You don’t “have” to stay.

Chappelle show skit. Charlie Murphy tells a story of going to Prince’s house. It is brilliant.

Sadly, that’s what FR is turning into these days.

He was an amazingly talented performer and musician. Purple Rain is one of the best albums ever made. He played every instrument on it. Thank you for the music that defined my youth and to this day still takes me back to happier times.

Rest in peace.

I suspect they will be in Minnesota.

I thought his name was some stupid symbol....

That's what happens when you sign a stupid contract and have a falling out with your management/agent...

I believe he was unable to perform under the moniker "Prince" until the contract problem was resolved.

With his passing, I missed the chance for Prince to serve me pancakes. /Chappelle Show

I love "The Time", especially with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who Prince fired. When they all got back together, Fishnet Stockings sold out like wild fire...
