Tell Me :
Talk
No, not at all. Death does exist. It's something we all get to face up front and personal. But that doesn't mean it has to be addressed through social media.
Some people still talk face-to-face or deal with death through very personal expressions that aren't to be found in tweets, selfies or instagrams.
If you don't get that, that's fine. No worries. Personally, I've seen enough death first hand for a few life times and I've never found that it was something that I wanted to tweet. In fact, I don't think I could process any meaningful expression on those who've died. I get why Mick might want to post on Facebook about Prince's passing, I also get why others may never do that. We don't know what Keith does for at least 22 hours a day on most days. Let's not assume that we do, when it comes to the death of Prince. That's all I'm suggesting.

Those are all great songs, so where is the underachievement? Few artists are capable of such range. That's what puts the Stones in a whole different realm, from doing a song like Dandelion, and then years later doing Miss You. Underachiever, wow, that's a word I can't even fathom putting with Prince. I'll bet he's got hundreds of complete songs in the vault that have never been released.

Sad news. Heard it on the Dutch radio, driving home from work. Saw him live about 3 times in Holland. in the 80/90 s.
So young. Wondering what the cause of his death is. He was an unique artist.
He wrote some beautiful songs, like ..sometimes it snows in april.
Prince, Hope you have a good journey and thank you for the music and memories.

Well I just watched his Superbowl half-time show for the first time and it was fantastic. He was real, he was honest, and he really played. No lip-syncing nonsense.
For me Prince will always be the summer of 1982 and the Little Red Corvette video and lamenting for a girl in the fast lane that slipped away.

It is sad, of course. But this post from a Facebook friend made me laugh:
In his Prince tribute, Wolf Blitzer said on CNN, “All of us, of course, remember ‘Purple Haze’
Figured ya'll could use a little smile too.
RIP Prince...I was a fan back in the day, though I haven't listened to his music in years, until sadly today. However, I always secretly loved the movie Purple Rain.

Grew up listening to him in Minnesota in the 1980's and saw him live a few years ago in Tampa after I was blown away by his Hall of Fame solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps.''
Incredible, incredible talent ...
Which is why he is probably the most underachieving artist of all-time.
He could play all of those instruments so well, was such a perfectionist, some people called him a genius, and yet he produced such songs as "Let's Go Crazy'' "1999'' "Rasberry Beret'' and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World?''
Even Morris Day was mocking "Let's Go Crazy'' in the Purple Rain movie and it was current then.
Speaking of Prince movies, anybody remember "Graffiti Bridge?''

I had a couple of friends at Berkeley Music school who turned me on to Prince - he was a musician's musician - great way of mixing fusion, rock, and funk into some radical recipes.
Peace to you Prince. Gone too soon.

I'm extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Prince. He was a brilliant performer and one of my favorites. The music world has lost an icon, and his "Purple Rain" movie was one of the best rock movies ever. I'll always cherish his great show in Buffalo in 1984 with Sheila E.

TMZ reported that they had a picture of him on Wednesday night at Walgreens in the parking lot. They said someone was in the store buying something and Prince was in the parking lot pacing back and forth sweating profusely. This comes days after he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance in Racine, Illinois after his private plane made an emergency landing after his final concert in Atlanta, Georgia on April 14. He was released after about three hours and he continued his flight back to Minnesota.

I'm absolutely gobsmacked & speechless. 2 of my main idols (Bowie & Prince) gone this year. Both genius' in their own right. It's taken until now for me to write. I got the news late because I was in chemo when my friend texted me. Been up all night really sick. At least hopefully I'm good until August. This one hits pretty hard as Prince was only 2 years older than me. I got into him fairly early, started paying attention around "Dirty Mind". The interest grew & by the time "1999" came out I was totally hooked. Luckily, I got to see him several times, the first on the "Purple Rain" tour. Several memorable shows. The best one is one of my top concerts ever. I was in Vegas & surprise club shows were announced. This was before he did the residency @ the Rio. Tickets were spendy, $300 & I hadn't budgeted for it. So I said, I'll leave it up to the gambling gods. Immediately after that, I hit on a slot machine for $1000. I got on the phone & called the club. The show was sold out but somehow I was able to talk my way in. Turned out to be a 3 hour Prince/funk party. Incredible. RIP Prince, you won't be forgotten soon. A small consolation is there is a huge amount of finished material that has never been released. Hopefully we will get to hear the best of that now. I think just the live stuff, based on what has leaked in the past, will blow minds. Peace
