Prince Has Died

[Spicoli]

On a side and seriously not trying to sound a cunt, but we've almost become too good at instant public mourning. To set up multiple media sets...100 idiots in the background taking selfies...in front of his estate and make it an event. I know it's where we're at these days but FFS. You want to honor the man put on a best of, pour a glass and reflect. Have some respect.

If the man needed painkillers then the man needed painkillers, each and every persons own call to make. It's not as though he was being a burden on anyone with any of that. Wouldn't it be great to be a chemist? I heard that the average lifespan of a doctor is about 56. It makes sense.

Prince was the single greatest artist, producer, musician, performer and entertainer from the 1980's on.
His level of skill, passion, creativity, output, and influence are unmatched by any of his contemporaries.
You can say you didn't listen to him much, but if you've listened to pop, funk, r&b, rock, edm and any of their sub genres, then you've heard a lot of Prince's sound.

He was so far from a pop artist as you could get.

Nah, the stones, yes, Floyd, McCartney and others were active at the same time. Prince was good but couldn't hold a candle to them dudes.

[Gandalf]

I don't know. The 80's weren't the best of years. Even some of the better bands had bad sounding production and McCartney only had one really consistent album for me (Flowers in the dirt). The Rolling Stones didn't really exist after Sticky Fingers.

Never really listened to Prince, but will look into his work. Seems to have been a familiar tale of a poor childhood, social anxiety and a need to overcompensate because of a lack of self worth. A curious mixture of excess ego and low self esteem.

For someone who did not listen to his music you seem to think you know a lot about him. Prince released so many albums of all genres.
