Ken Posted April 21, 2016 Report Posted April 21, 2016 2016. The worst year ever in music. Ever. The Purple One gone. Died at his home in Minnesota. I'm rattled to the foundations.
Carl Posted April 21, 2016 Report Posted April 21, 2016 Shocking and devastating. Prince to me was the sweet spot where '70s soul met modern hip-hop in a beautiful union. His live show was one of the best I've ever seen - a life-changing, inspirational experience. It was like he was put here to lift us up and help us discover our higher powers.A small part of me holds out hope that he is doing some elaborate piece of performance art, faking his death to assume a more mortal identity. It is something he would do.
Ken Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Posted April 21, 2016 Heavy on the heart. I'm 52 now. I was 22 in August of 1986 when Kelly and I moved in together. A small 1 bedroom apartment in a 3 story apartment building. Landlord came down and asked us to turn down the stereo, and it was Prince, "I Would Die 4 U". This one hurts so damn much.
Otokichi Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) As usual, I'm not much of a fan of Prince, but he certainly could write a great song... Edited April 22, 2016 by Otokichi I've never seen/heard "doves cry"
miamisammy29 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 This one shocked me. It would shock me even more if it turns out to be a drug overdose.Respect, Mr. Nelson.
Carl Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 My first thought this morning was, "How do we live in a world without Prince"?
edna Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 I never really liked Prince, except for three or four songs. Yet I understand how big he was. And just as Sammy, it would be strange to find out it was an OD.
chutzpah Posted April 23, 2016 Report Posted April 23, 2016 Wow! Shocked the world's lost a lot of talent. RIP Prince
Mike Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 on this somewhat ordinary day in the spring of 1983, I just started a new job at an auto parts store, this song came on the radio, again, they'd been playing it all week, but suddenly I looked over at a female coworker and i started in ....."little red corvette. then she sang it with me ..""baby you're much too fast. ...little red corvette ...you need a love that's gonna last" it was infection, soon a customer joined in, there was like 5 of us by songs end.that day now has a much more profound place in my musical memories of life
