Prince has Died

Apparently the police have not released the name of the individual who passed away but his publicist has confirmed it.
 
CNN online had this great headline and photo.

When Doves Cry

This is a loss. Great artist, much better a guitar player than many knew.

Prince was probably the most underrated guitarist of all time! Unbelievable talent.

Sad news.

RIP Prince :heart:
 
Prince was an amazing guitarist. Seeing him live in concert reminded me of Hendrix. That good. So versatile. RIP beautiful soul.

Absolutely.

I'm jolted. I'm two years younger than Prince and I remember when his first album came out and hit our high school by storm. I took summer classes in Madison in '84 when Purple Rain came out. One of my classmates went to high school with Prince and told us he was a really good basketball player. Years later, Dave Chapelle did a hilarious skit about playing a pick up basketball game with him.


A true musical genius. Our generation's Mozart as far as I'm concerned.
 
I heard an interview with the curator of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where he said that this performance from 2004 in a tribute to George Harrison was arguably the greatest guitar solo in history. Prince comes on stage at ~3:25 in and it’s pretty unbelievable. Well worth the few minutes of your time it will take to watch it. May he rest in peace, eternally jamming with other musical legends.

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends

‪‎Prince‬
 
Purple Rain. RIP.

It's a scary thought that one day soon we will just be left with Bieber.
