Your responses are the best!
wow..I bet your fun to be with!ha.
I’m 69. Big fan. Never understood his life, but he was popular in his home city and helped local groups and fostered a few people who had hits etc. He was a genius for my money. Unique, his own sound. His songs are not just rock, funk, but different riffs, and he did a lot of things with his voice others couldn’t do. My son is a very good musician and he’s one of the people he looks up to even thought he doesn’t sing the same style.
Somebody commented Elton had a great writer, but Prince did everything and took on the industry and ran his own business. I don’t know what these people go through, but I think the world of rock lost one of it’s most talented people.

When you’re very wealthy, famous and talented you can afford to be as quirky as you dang please.
“His songs are not just rock, funk, but different riffs, and he did a lot of things with his voice others couldnt do.”

Yup, his style was truly unique.

Sign that we’re old:
Reading some Facebook posts that say: “My grandmother is devastated today - Prince has died!”
Good point. I almost got hooked on oxycontin after the wreck I had back in '05.
Jimi Hendrix and Santana sounded so surreal then...
Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
Just never got Prince. Seems many did.
Wonderfully stated! I agree he was one of a kind.
Well said, and I agree completely. A talented guy on many levels, and a musician in the truest sense of the word. This is a big loss.
Don’t know if anyone on the thread has posted the youtube of him with the Muppets doing a “breakfast song,” but it’s terrific. Shows the mild-mannered, humorous guy behind the flashy legend. Good song, too. :)
Check it out.
and then Prince said “ the greatest guitarist ever died in a plane crash on March 19th 1982..Randy Rhoads”
POST OF THE DAY!
If you're free, Jimi might be up for a jam session.
While wearing a raspberry beret.
Wall to wall coverage on all our local Twin Cities news stations. First Avenue is having an all night dance party free of charge and the crowd is huge. Wish I could be there like I was 30 years ago. :(
Heh heh, they're really partying like it's 1999.
