Prince has died

[buffyfan145]

I'm so sad. I loved Prince too, as did my mother. This is going to be hard on her too. I loved so many of Prince's songs and "Little Red Corvette" is one of my top favorite songs of all time. We also played "1999" at our New Year's Eve party for the year 2000 and since Y2k didn't happen, and I loved his Super Bowl performance. I saw Stevie Nicks' post on Twitter a little bit ago and I was thinking of her too since "Little Red Corvette" inspired her to write "Stand Back" and Prince played synthesizer on it, and they were good friends. First she lost Glenn and now Prince. This year has just been so brutal in the music world.

This is just too much

Incredibly talented man, singer, songwriter & guitarist. The Purple Rain soundtrack is wonderful - especially the title track, which he said he was tyring to sound like Bob Seger, When Doves Cry & Let's Go Crazy. Other great songs included 1999, Sign Of The Times, Alphabet St, Sexy MF, Little Red Corvette, Kiss, Cream etc etc. May he rest in peace. He was only two years older than me.

But regarding the amoung of coverage it has become quite evident that Glenn was not regarded as important enough to warrant it.

ETA: Of all things he was found in an elevator.

'Don't let the elevator bring us down'.

I was walking into 'X-Factor Grill' in Toccoa, GA earlier this afternoon when I saw, emblazoned across one of their flat-screen TV's, the Fox News headline "Prince Dead at 57." I confess I had been wondering who would be next to die, but I NEVER would have thought it would be him.

I was so absolutely gutted to see that, and I've never been any sort of fan of his. The only song of his I ever liked was "(I Just Want Your) Kiss." Still, like David Bowie, he had an immeasurable impact upon the specter of pop music.

RIP.

Yesterday, I was listening to an old Stevie Nicks interview where she talks about Prince being a good friend to her. Then, today, this.

RIP Prince.

In his words, "Life is just a party - and parties aren't meant to last."

That doesn't make it any easier, though.

Wow. RIP.

Not sure what to make of this, accuracy-wise. If true, a sad twist to an already tragic story.
