[Voted4Reagan]

yeah... that Purple Rain Album was really a chick magnet... Come on over for a Beer and we'll listen to Prince...

He shoots...HE SCORES!!!

Seriously... great talent... innovative... very true to his music...

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

ouch.

One of my favorites

i didn't feel a thing.....
His talent was real (no denying that) but nothing about him spoke to me , not his music nor his lifestyle.-tyr

Seconded .. same here ....

[WiccanLiberal]

I was never such a huge fan but I do recognize the talent and the innovation. Any time we lose a creative talent, it is a sad thing. He seemed to have a breadth and depth to his talents that we may not really appreciate until some years from now. I am sure there are huge amounts of unreleased material that will eventually come to light.

Ditto! He was one of the greatest talents this world has ever known Nt my type of music but.....
He was a rebel, I love rebels. Some of my funnest memories was with Prince music in the background.

I hate to be a d*ck here, but y'all know ME. :laugh:

I HATE RIP threads. Prince has been irrelevant since the 80s. And I'm not accusing any individual because I don't pay attention to who does it. But the obligatory RIP is BS to me.

The only reason I say this is because the topic came up between me and someone in a REAL situation with someone he loves. This crap annoys the Hell out of me. Say I'm sorry or something to the survivors. I almost never post in these thread (although I may have hit the Johnny Cash one).

I could care less about Prince. I haven't missed him in 30 years.

And when I die, my daughter has instructions to let you know but if you make a fucking RIP thread about me I'll resurrect my ass and come back and kill all of you. :laugh2:

Music (outside of a FEW country songs). Has been irrelevant since the mid 1990s.

Dude, I still got my George Strait, Randy Travis and Johnny Cash. And the one thing cool about ABQ is they have an oldies station that plays 50s and 60s stuff.

Does this mean we are old? :laugh:

Yeah we are definitely old. Amarillo by morning is one of my all time favorites.

My collection is taking a beating this year. Glen Frey, Prince, David Bowie, Merle haggard.

[Abbey Marie]

TMZ is reporting that he had a drug overdose about a week ago. Link tomorrow; too tired now.

[Elessar]

I did not really care much for him, but know others did.

Shame any talent expires early - a la Jim Morrison,
Karen Carpenter.

Prince was a genius. But it seems he quit using it around 1992.

Wonder if Morrison and Hendrix would have continued their genius or let it waste away.

[darin]

he was a true artist; a freaky-deaky pancake-making artist.


RIP Mr. Nelson.

[crin63]

Personally, I thought he just a little freak with a voice.

My wife liked Purple Rain so I heard it a few times but he was way to effeminate for me.

I was TOTALLY in love with Karen Carpenter. :)

[jimnyc]

Prince wasn't my favorite, and his style wasn't exactly my style. But he played a mean guitar and could sing pretty good too, even if it weren't rock and roll.

But when I think of Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Lets go Crazy, Raspberry Beret - they all bring me back to my high school days, and make me think of younger years.

[Bilgerat]

My Son in Law in Maine works at a place called Bullmoose, they sell music and other stuff.

Says after Merle passed, his stuff flew out the door.

Same shit's happening now for Prince

[Noir]

Wasn't a huge fan, but he had some great songs and sounds, undeniably an icon.

Also little known fact - Prince was vegan, as came through in songs like Animal Kingdom:


No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity
No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me
It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish
Don't give me no blue cheese
We're all members of the animal kingdom

[jimnyc]

Wasn't a huge fan, but he had some great songs and sounds, undeniably an icon.

Also little known fact - Prince was vegan, as came through in songs like Animal Kingdom:

Not even bleu cheese? Why not? That a vegan thing, vegetarian too? Honest question, obviously I don't know much about being a vegan.

I was shocked to see his home in pictures today. Looked like he lived in some factory type place called "Paisley Park". Surprised he wasn't in some monster sized purple mansion.

[namvet]

I was TOTALLY in love with Karen Carpenter. :)

in love or in heat??

You were still in high school then? Crap, I think I was on my second deployment. What a diaper-wearing goober you are. :poke:

[Gunny]

:laugh2:

Yes.

[jimnyc]

Those songs were when I was in like 10th or 11th grade. Old bastard.

Animal cheeses are non-vegan, so vegans will not eat them, blue or otherwise.

Vegetarians depends on the individual, many will eat cheese regardless of source or production, some will only eat 'vegetarian cheese' which is animal cheese that has not had calf rennet (an enzyme harvested from calf stomachs) used to produce it.

[namvet]

as expected all the networks are running they're tributes so its prince day

Crap. I was in 10th grade in 75. And you can call me old but I've out-lived your diaper-wearing ass. :laugh2:

When I quit laughing I might be able to come up with a response. That was a good shot. :laugh2:

[NightTrain]

Prince wasn't really my type of artist, but he mastered an amazing amount of different instruments. He was extremely gifted, but like many very talented & wildly successful artists, got really eccentric and... weird... over the years.

About the only song that I really like is When Doves Cry... I can't think of anything else of his that I like.

Sad to see him kick off, though. RIP.

hell you were just kid. in 75 I was 27

TMZ broke this they claim he was up and down like a yo yo

Works for me. I've finally found someone I get to call an old bastard. Crap, you're almost as old as my father. Crotchety old f*ck. No wonder you're always so damned grumpy. :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

[CSM]

I have children older than you! AH well, there is at least one person older than I am posting on this board...

[Elessar]

I was TOTALLY in love with Karen Carpenter. :)

She was a doll..just so pretty until the illness wasted her.

And such a clear and prefect alto voice...

[darin]

So....were you that CSM from We Were Soldiers? :)

[CSM]

Not quite....did meet him though. I was a very young and silly E-4 at the time.... He was just as they portrayed in the movie...a very crusty old f*ck

[NightTrain]

Why, you young pup!

I was a worldly 5 year old in '75.

[crin63]

At least this thread turned intellectual. LOL

I was 12 in '75

Sweet Jeebus, I enlisted for the first time in 1972:alcoholic:

All of you squids are old farts. Crap. At least Prince had the courtesy to drop f-ing dead. :laugh2:

And ANY day I can get in a good jab at Jim is a successful day. :)

to bad it wasn't that liberal fuck Springsteen

But it's the same thing. He hasn't been relevant since the 80s either. The media is only thing keeping them alive. I'm like who the f- cares?

He was very talented. And....like many musicians....very tortured. Sad that many musicians and people in show biz feel they have to resort to drugs to live their lives.

He will be missed.

I've heard THAT one before. I have everything in the world and I'm tortured. Try having to work for a living and STILL not having enough money. Sorry, no sympathy from me for Cobain, Jackson or Prince. The only one I really felt sorry for was Hendrix. He was totally exploited by his managers. They took every cent he made and gave him just enough money to get a burger. Thar actually happened to Joe Lewis (boxer) as well.

Celebrities kill me. They have everything the rest of us would love to have and pull this "My soul is tortured" crap. Oh wah. "I haven't had to work in 30 years. Think I'll go OD back at the mansion". Crap, I'd have a really nice truck and new guitar if I had all that crap and invite all of y'all to aggravate me at the mansion. :laugh:

He did not become a celebrity without a lot of hard work. In fact he turned his home into his work.

Since when does money buy happiness?

We don't know he was tortured except he had pain in his hip. He was private, so we don't know for sure.

A message from Prince


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I30fIm0XiqE

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross
Ghettos to the left of us
Flowers to the right
There'll be bread for all of us
If we can just bear the cross

Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems
Some big, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the cross

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry for he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross

Ghettos to the left of us
Flowers to the right
There'll be bread for all, y'all
If we can just, just bear the cross, yeah

We all have our problems
Some are big, some are small
Soon all of our problems, y'all
Will be taken by the cross

The cross
The cross

[Atticus Finch]

yeah... that Purple Rain Album was really a chick magnet... Come on over for a Beer and we'll listen to Prince...

Seriously... great talent... innovative... very true to his music... serious panty droppin' music....

[aboutime]

Anyone remember HOW LONG it took for all the Micheal Jackson Mourning to last? Seemed like a whole year, and even a TV cable channel was dedicated to him.
So...sad as it was to hear about PRINCE. When does it all stop? And should we be thankful he didn't pass in February.....BLACK HISTORY MONTH? My apologies to anyone who is insulted, or offended with that question. (Not really)
