I'm finding myself way more affected by the death of Prince than I expected. Though I was not an avid fan, I always liked him and am totally in awe of his talents. Also, I always secretly thought that he and I would connect because of one extraordinary thing we have in common:  we were both born on June 7, 1958. As a matter of fact, he's the ONLY person I've ever known to share that birth date with me. Always wondered what we might have in common, how our perspectives might align. And now, his death really makes me feel fairly intensely my own mortality . . . . Whoa . . . .

Oh, and yesterday I forgot to quote 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'."

+1 on that Teo...
ThanksHug None of my family and friends were affected but a large area in the coastal region was and there's a lot of damage, homeless people and death (557 so far, thousands wounded). A truly terrible catastrophe. Cry 
 
Glad to hear that all your loved ones are safe, but very sorry to hear that so many are not.  What is the best way to donate funds to help? The Red Cross?

Also, let us hope that Mr. Martin remains ignorant of the existence of other musicians who I shall not name here lest they attract his attention.  I'm not sure I can take much more of this.

As you grow older more and more of the people you knew either in person or by fame will die. It's not like the mighty evil year 2016. It's called time. 

Given the 22 age difference between you and I then that doesn't quite explain it. Also why does this year seem worse that last year, yet 2015 didn't seem any different to the year before?
Global warming? Illuminati? Obama?

57, he was young though. But still in the "may die" age.

There is no reason or explanation. It's simply random coincidence.
Of course that was (kind of) my entire point all along Tongue

Just seen this on the BBC website. A great director, with important work to his name.

At least he had a good old innings. RIP.

RIP.  Always thought his were the best of the Bond movies.  Battle of Britain and Force 10 from Navarone were also old favorites.  Not to mention the others....

Now Prince?  Talk about a guy with so much more to say.....I'm in shock.  RIP, brother. 

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
