Jimi died in 1970. “Purple Haze” was released in 1967.
“Purple Rain” came out in 1984. Prince’s 1st album was released in 1979.
I think that’s Madonna.
AIDS.
This was posted yesterday on a Hollywood gossip blog:
MediaTakeOut.com just received word that a VERY popular African-American celebrity - who has recently been in the news - now has what is being described as AIDS. Obviously since we are not able to 100% confirm the story - we’re going to leave it as a Blind Item. We want to make it clear we are NOT talking about Magic Johnson. This report REALLY hurt our heart. According to a person EXTREMELY CLOSE to the situation, the celebrity, who is known for having a very EXTREME sexual past reportedly contracted the illness sometime in the 1990s. He kept the illness quiet but began taking his medication RELIGIOUSLY up until about two years ago. Here’s what we’re told by a VERY trusted entertainment insider: “[The celebrity] believed that he was cured, and he had some crazy [religious] people who told him that God cured him. So he stopped taking his medication and the sickness came back. Now doctors say he’s dying, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.” We’re told that the celebrity is expected to get sicker and sicker, and eventually pass. It can happen as soon as the summer. Very sad news. Prince
AIDS.
played a SICK solo on “While My guitar Gently Weeps” at the George Harrison tribute.
He could PLAY!
LOL!
And once again those oh-so-tolerant Liberals show their love....

I know. Broke his heart so bad, he’s died...
He is a good piano player and pretty decent vocalist. Which I never realized until I saw him play the and sing on “The Weight,” a tribute to the late Levon Helms, who he named one of his sons after.
He was a wild one. May God bless and keep him and his surviving friends and relatives.
PING!
The big A doesn’t play.
Beethoven was 56, awful close to Prince, and he supposedly had influenza
A strange little man who was an excellent musician/songwriter. I really enjoyed some of his music back in the day. It’s said that the most talented people are usually the most quirky.
Dude David Gilmour and Roger Waters still sell out every venue they due also. Can’t forget the Floyd members in that list. Saw David at the Hollywood Bowl a week and half ago and he still rocks it.

He could sing "Ich habe genug!"
But no, for whatever voice he had, when they aired it on the radio, it was a deviated jackal in heat.
Well, he is not someone I’d ever look up to. I was probably a casual fan way back in the grammar school days, but those are long past.
I do like Levon Helm.
Glenn Frey was pretty big - and Merle Haggard also.
