I've seen some of the local news clips and I think you are right....traffic will be insane very shortly. God this just sucks. Music aside, he was good to the local fans. Had parties for them at Paisley where he'd perform very intimate sets. I guess he had a party just the other night to tell the fans he was OK, after the flu scare on the airplane. I respect the fact that he stuck around this town even after becoming a big shot. I think that is why the city is going to be heavy with grief this weekend. |

yeah that one hurts.. I was never a 'fan' of it. My best friend as teen was NUTS about him and his music. Regardless of styles and perferences and all that sh*t... he was immensely talented, put out frickin great music, and more than that perhaps.. viewed through the lens of this site and the eggheads that generally populate it. He was immensely progressive in how he saw music. He was never content with churning out hits but was an artist who followed his muse and could care less if his fans followed him. With his talent they did. But his goal was never to sell records and be a star. RIP sir... much respect and admiration here. as a side note. can't wait for the 'Did I kill Prince' thread. I was working this morning.. obviously before the news broke.. and caught myself .. completely out of the blue.. singing Cream. Oh ohh... better stop singing Willie. His eventual passing with devastate me like no other could, only George Harrison has had more of an spiritual and personal attachment to me as a musician. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Hi, Always admired a lot of his work ... and "Purple Rain" is one of the best rock films ever made, where the music is not incidental, but an integral part of the film ... instead of anything else. A lot of folks will miss him, when he gave them a start ... not to mention how many women he brought to the stage from day one ... RIP. Great legacy of very fine music ... and I bet he has 100 hours more in the can! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

RIP I wasn't a fan but I did just hear something on a recent thing that he did that I wished he would explore some of that style more. It would have been cool if he also just made music without the modern pop style that he was known for.

I had heard he was sick for the past week or so, but had no clue it was going to get this bad. I'm still in shock. He was an incredibly creative guy and I couldn't imagine going through life without hearing his "Purple Rain" or "Sign 'O' the Times" albums. Been playing his music all day, and it's remarkable how relevant his music and image still are today. RIP, and thanks for all the great music.

My all-time favorite line about Prince, by the movie critic Pauline Kael (in her review of Purple Rain): "I'm disposed to like Prince because he is, as a friend of mine put it, 'the fulfillment of everything that people like Jerry Falwell say rock 'n' roll will do to the youth of America'."

So many memories . . . so many connections . . . My wife has been a freaking fanatical fan of his since she was a teenager--has everything he ever published, plays it ALL THE TIME, and watches all the bootleg live vids of his performances. I cannot deny that music flows through the man. He's like a Bach or Mozart, he's so prolific. So many ideas are flowing through him all day long. I am told by friends that he has thousands and thousands of hours of unpublished music--wrote/recorded a song a day for years in his life. Yes, he will be missed. But, like Hendrix and J.D. Salinger, we'll be hearing previously unreleased material from his vaults for years to come. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

P.S. I am not sure if I've ever seen a guitar player who plays so much as if the guitar is an actual appendage of his body--every note, every emotion conjured up from his guitar looks and feels as natural and perfect a "voicing" as one's voice or facial expressions. If you EVER have the chance to see the movie of the Concert for George (Harrison) that Eric Clapton, family and friends put together the year after George died, you've GOT to check out the guitar solo that Prince performs on "My Guitar Gently Weeps"--I seriously doubt if anyone--and I mean ANYONE--could put that kind of technique and emotion into a guitar solo.

(I hope he doesn't mind but) Steven Wilson posted this to facebook last night: Just 30 minutes before we went on stage in Vienna tonight I heard that https://www.facebook.com/pages/Prince/103754739663042" rel="nofollow - Prince had died, I couldn't believe it. It was a very tough show for me to play. The word "genius" is used a bit too often and loosely within the music world, but I think Prince was the real thing, perhaps the most naturally gifted performer of all time. I saw him play live several times, and his show at https://www.facebook.com/TheO2/" rel="nofollow - The O2 Arena in London in 2007 I would rate as the greatest concert I ever saw ( https://www.facebook.com/Craig-Blundell-183320435091082/" rel="nofollow - Craig Blundell is agreeing with me now, he was there too). The run of albums from Dirty Mind in 1980 through to Sign 'O' the Times in 1987 matches anyone in its sustained brilliance, and it was such a big part of my soundtrack as a teenager (some of you will know that The Ballad of Dorothy Parker from the latter album was on the mixtape made by my character in Hand.Cannot.Erase., which is pretty much what my mixtape would have been at that time in my life). Tonight I made a humble attempt to sing his song Sign 'O' the Times, in fact just before we played https://www.facebook.com/davidbowie/" rel="nofollow - David Bowie 's Space Oddity. It's been a while since I recorded my version so I couldn't remember it very well, but I wanted to at least try it, it would have seemed strange to pay tribute to one unique musical genius and not the other. Farewell strange purple one, and thanks for it all. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

One more. I remember when Purple Rain was in local theaters. The crowds were like a club scene, packed and rocking. Quite the night last night. Packed streets and music all night long in Mpls. The whole city is lit up purple, never seen or felt anything like it. He owned this town and treated fans like family. Onward we go... "Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning." -Prince  |

@Finnforest........Keep those pics coming!! Really enjoying seeing that. My wife and I stayed up pretty late watching CNN last night. Also watched some MTV lastnight they cancelled all normal schedule and were showing Prince videos and went back to being "MTV" of the 80's.....That was so cool and sad to see the videos. The impact of losing him will be felt for so long, there is a hole in truly creative music now. Last week during Record Store Day sales I ordered a new copy of Purple Rain on vinyl (of course), should have it Monday......That will be a sad package to open -------------

^Cool photo!!! I hear you Jose. We watched the SNL tribute on Saturday and were amazed yet again by the performances.

These were photos for him to send to record companies.  |

Heck the Hoffman forum is up to 134 pages and about 3,300 replies on Prince as of this morning. I have the first 6 albums on vinyl and the CDs of many others, probably 15 in total on CD.....I agree not enough time to listen. -------------

The weekend of Record Store Day 2 weeks ago, I ordered a new vinyl copy of Purple Rain. I had played out my original version and this one is pressed by QRP, reported to be outstanding pressing. Received in the mail yesterday and could not open the bag yet, it was tough. In the past week he has sold I think over 600,000 albums, now some of this is probably online downloads and such, not actual physical album sales but still.......I am glad I bought my copy, not sure I could find one today. Went this weekend to used record store and found another copy of Prince, I have one already, but why not another!  Store owner says everyone coming in and calling looking for his vinyl....he was wearing a purple shirt on Saturday. -------------

I read up on this.....it may be several weeks to a month or so. Reason I am reading is since this was not an obvious death like suicide or murder, the testing they are running is pretty much everything under the sun. Then the examiners need to go thru all medical history and figure out what medicines (or other) he might have been taking, talk to family and friends to figure out any missing details of his condition at the time. Some of the test results I read can take weeks.....Here is a good explanation. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/26/health/prince-death-autopsy-medical-examination/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/26/health/prince-death-autopsy-medical-examination/index.html -------------

^ What I was surprised about is how many people her age don't really know Prince's music. When I was 26 I was quite aware of artists who were well before my time but who made an impact. Shows how much popular music has splintered and how many rock/pop stars of Prince's stature who used to be known by everyone young & old just don't seem to matter as much in culture. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

I think for our - people who are now in their 20s/early 30s - generation it has become harder to learn of older artists. Somebody in the family has to have introduced them to us or we have to make a conscious effort to find out. Else, the media mainly pushes contemporary artists on us. Not a bad thing at all, the show must go on. But say in my case, I didn't know about Prince when I was in school and listened to his music much later because he didn't really make a dent in the 90s. I mean, those early 90s albums may have charted well but I am talking like MJ's Dangerous, Whitney Houston's appearance and songs on Bodyguard, Celine Dion with that cringe will go on song, etc. He wasn't THAT successful. If I had already been in college by the 90s, I would have been aware of his work because I would have got beyond the most popular hits. But in all likelihood I may have got into rock in that case and still been oblivious to Prince. I really like the Purple Rain album but never got around to checking out his other albums. I should have, but somehow it just slipped my mind. RIP.

Just spun this one with my wife next to me on the sofa, we listened to both sides without saying a word. Bopping and swaying to the jam, mouthing the words and each of us reflecting on his work and life. Her only comment at the end of Side II......"I'm so sad...still"  -------------

Report is out...... http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/health/prince-death-opioid-overdose/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/health/prince-death-opioid-overdose/index.html What caught my attention was how thin he was at 112lbs......Does not take much fentanyl to cause issues when you are that small. -------------

Jose, it was very sad to see, my friend... Sad in that I feel bad for him, knowing how he felt about drugs, it must have been hard for him being in pain but trying to get off of them. But I pause not 2 seconds with this official report....it no longer matters. What is important from this point forward is his musical and creative legacy. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

I agree, but there are those that just need to know the cause, I had thought is was some kind of OD based on what ever pain he may have been in, no doubt he was not a drug user and I am sure this was never in his plans. His music will live on 4ever..... -------------
