Prince dead at 57

[femurphy77]

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.

I had a red Chow at one time and his name was Prince. When (singer) Prince changed his name to that funky symbol my (chow) Prince also changed his name to a funky symbol. The girl behind the desk at the vets office had no sense of humor about her when we went in for our next visit and I corrected her to start calling my squiggly line named chow dog, the dog formerly known as Prince! I thought it was funnier than hell but she didn't even crack a smile, obviously not a fan!

BS...It always works in the movies....

Hence the shock on the faces when we tell them their loved one did not survive

There's about a 5% success rate with CPR

BS...It always works in the movies....

You have to yell.... "Don't you die on me!" if you don't, it doesn't work.

Having witnessed the aftermath of CPR on 2 loved ones recently I can definitely tell you that it ain't like in the movies! It's very violent and in our case end up with several broken ribs on both of them, one the effort was way too late and they (the emt's) wouldn't stop even when it was apparent that they were way too late and the other only prolonged the inevitable long enough for all of the family to gather, which was a good thing but still. . . . .

Few if any medical personnel (be it human or animal) have a sense of humor. Unless they're on INGO and then they're wacked.

Say NO to Harriet Tubman and YES to Prince for the new $20 bill

He was a legend. This makes me very, very sad.

For the old guys, I guess we finally get to find out if Prince and Morris Day were the same person.

This is what it takes to get MTV to actually play videos anymore.

No way. (Says the old girl.)

Back in the day, that was a serious debate

They were not alike at all. Both hot back in the day, but I certainly would not get them confused, physically or musically...

Only "the time" will tell.

You didn't watch the movie very close. They were rivals. I'll bet Morris had Jerome kill him.

A guy I did some work for several years ago drove Princes tour bus back in the late 80s, early 90s. He had been in that line of work for many years, and he said Prince was his favorite to work for, a very nice guy, and extremely caring towards those around him. He said Prince would often sit and talk to him, just to keep him company on overnight drives, and he said he was the only celeb that he ever considered as a true friend. The stories that guy told me forever changed my opinion of Prince the man. Totally surprised me and totally went against my assumption of what the guy was really like.

Like him or hate him, he wasn't afraid to work. 57 years old, 39 albums. How did even even find time to tour? Who knows how many B Sides, and tunes written for other artists.
Last Friday he went to the hospital and was diagnosed with influenza. Today, found collapsed in an elevator in the Paisley Park studios.
