Prince passed away

Seems as if he overdosed on Percocet a few days before he passed, when his plane had to emergency land he was administered a "save shot" by airport EMT's..

then was photographed at a Walgreens (presumably picking up more Percocets) on his final day.

I was born in the 80's. I have no clue of anything Prince, Michael Jacksoff, Billy Idol, or Paula Abdul.

About the only thing I remember from the 80's is UB40's Red Red Wine and Don't Worry Be Happy by who knows who sang it.

Remember when Carlos Boozer bought that LA mansion and then decided to rent it to Prince. The next thing you know Prince painted it purple without permission. Carlos freaked and I think he sued him. So awesome!

Advice to Carlos: If you don't want your stuff painted purple then don't rent it to Prince.

This isn't what happened. He changed a bunch of **** like you said, Boozer turned onto his street and didn't recognize his house, and then drove up and down the block a few times looking for it, finally realizing this "updated" home was his. He was furious, went to the door ready to kick the **** out of Prince, and when Prince came to the door, he handed Boozer a check for 1M telling him it should cover the costs to fix it back right. Boozer loved that, said Prince is cool as **** and seemed happy to have made a decent profit off of it.

I'm sure a major music icon would have never existed without listening to Prince :rolleyes:

Andre 3000 became "Andre 3000" 4 albums in, with his launch of Stankonia. The Prince influence there is so obviously obvious, and the Prince influence in tracks of his later albums like "She Lives in My Lap" from The Love Below is so blatantly Prince. Andre always talks about him in reverence.

I don't think his career would have had the legendary trajectory like it did without Prince. No way. He'd tell you the same thing. Would have he become a rap-star? Probably-- but he wouldnt have put out an album that went diamond and got album of the year..

Reputation hard.

Paul McCartney was asked how it feels to be the best guitarist in the world. He replied I do not know ask Prince.

I've always felt like Prince's songwriting and showmanship (and presence in general) overshadowed his prowess with a guitar. As popular and beloved as he was, his guitar playing was highly underrated.

Except that it was Eric Clapton, who might have actually been asked that question at some point. And it probably never even happened.

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

What does this even mean? So you haven't heard any music from the previous decades that you were born? Please help me understand.


Anyway, newly uploaded Prince video of him and Mr. Maceo Parker.
