RIP ... Prince
 

Sad to see such a talented young guy die so young.

I was never a "Prince" fan until I saw a video of him playing
a guitar. He was phenomenal. Very talented guy.

RIP ... Prince

What do you consider his best work?

I really wouldn't know. I am sure I haven't heard everything he did.
I was just blown away one day when I saw and heard him playing the
guitar. I had only considered him as a "pop" rock singer and performer.

RIP ... Prince

I am not a huge fan but I have Red Corvette and Purple Rain in my MP3
collection. They seem to be a representative sample.
It was always a little "bubble gummy" for me.

Supposedly he could play every instrument. Musician, writer, composer, etc. Very talented. I wasn't a big fan of his music, but can appreciate the talent.

In a different manner, he was about as strange as Michael Jackson, and far more gifted. Now it's suspected that he may have died from a drug overdose, which wouldn't surprise me...

In show biz terms he was not near as nuts as Michael.
Most of those folks are pretty strange tho.

If it was a drug thing, I would think nose candy. He doesn't look like
a downer guy but who knows. It might be as simple as a heart attack.
This thing will be beat to death. It was the only thing on TV today,
knocking Trump and Hillary out of the "A" block, even on the network
news.
In a few days we will hear the official COD and a half dozen theories
about what it really was.

RIP ... Prince

Heard last night that he had just been administered Narcan for an
overdose (probably heroin) shortly before he died. Sounds like drugs to me.

That's what I felt about him. Wasn't crazy about his music although I remember watching his movie 'Purple Rain'.... More for his beautiful woman than for him. At the time I was still ****ed that all the great '60s music was over and replaced by '70s cap. ( at least a lot of it seemed like crap)

RIP ... Prince

I am about done with Prince. They preempted the overnight news on CNN
with prince. That is usually the best news show on TV because it is
their international feed.
If this turns out to be another one of those people who was so
depressed because he was too rich and famous that he needed heroin, I
am really done.
