Prince dead at 57

[rhino]

Meh.

 

[oldpink]

Damn!
A fantastic talent, able to play just about any instrument he chose to well, especially guitar.
Every time I hear "Red Corvette," I'm suddenly transported backward in time to my sophomore year in high school.
The preliminary reports being so terse about the cause of death make it sound likely that it was by his own hand.
I hope not.

The only thing I know about Prince, is he dated Kim Basinger and I didn't.

Maybe we can put him on the $50?

 

[Bigtanker]

I was never a diehard fan of his but he was very talented. Seemed to be a good guy with no scandals or drug problems. Hopefully that statement remains true.

RIP.

I THINK I remember reading he was in the hospital just a couple of weeks ago.
I was never a fan and the "hostage" situation really turned me against him.

From what I can see, they're talking about a fatality, but they're not confirming it was The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, but they also aren't saying that its not The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

[edit]

Now sources are saying that The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, now known as Prince, is more properly now described as the deceased Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, who then went by Prince and is now simply, formerly.

You use your keyboard prettier than a twenty dollar.................I'm somewhat dizzy from reading that.

Well, I think he did have different peccadilloes, but stayed away from drugs. I recall that he helped get some of his [strike]groupies[/strike] entourage off of drugs, while also getting into their... well... you know. In his early days, I think he was into drugs, but then turned his life around when he realized he didn't need them to get into ... well.. you know.

S U C K S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My iphone (ipod) is full of Prince music.

I heard he had a lot of Vanity.

True, also a lot of controversy surrounds the beautiful ones. That kind of attention would make me delirious.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I often falsetto: "AAAAAhhhhhh...... Poison Control, oh" when I need poison control paged.

I'm not really sad about it but certainly surprised. I enjoyed his music, and still will.

Apparently he was found unresponsive in an elevator, and CPR failed.

 

[T.Lex]

How mundane. Not what I would've expected.

Unless one of his proteges (or a couple) were in the elevator, too.

Curious who gave him CPR.............and how it was administered.

There's about a 5% success rate with CPR

The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always every time

 

[Dead Duck]

Oh-
So the elevator tried to bring him down........he must have gone crazy.

Classic
