Prince dead at 57

[esteban]

Prince kicked ass.

I must hook up my turntable to play all the singles I have.

I never got rid of any of his records.

Because Prince kicks ass.

No, I would never consider Gospel period to be authentic Prince.

*GOSPEL* PRINCE  MAY HAVE DIED.

BUT
*PRINCE*

"Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death ... multiple sources tell TMZ."

Well, that might answer why at 57... :/

Damn. Sad news.

I know the internet is on fire and everyone on earth is commenting on this, so i'll weigh in. 

I have something like 12 albums. In 2004, he released Musicology in the newspaper of all things back in MN and WI. I got a paper with my morning coffee and the album dropped into my lap. I went back the the newstand, and bought another paper, and got a second copy. It was unreal. Googling later I found out the newspaper stunt had been a publicity attempt to reach out to fans in the Midwest. Man, did it work! I binged on his records for about a year after that.

The only time I actually saw him was in the same year at a club in MN, Maybe the First Avenue/Seventh St. Retreat, and he just randomly walked onstage during someone else's set (I can't remember the band's name) and shredded a 20-second guitar solo, and walked back off. It was one of the most insane things I've ever seen at a small club show.

RIP Prince

I wasn't a big fan of his growing up, with exception, for some reason, the Batman soundtrack.  I love that soundtrack!  Either way, however, I feel like he's one of those artists, that, even if you don't like his music, you can tell he's riddled with talent.

Chyna died too. Don't forget Chyna. Chyna.

Yep, and who knew, she went on to star in several adult films post-WWE.

Oh wow. I knew, for some reason, that she had a sex tape or something like that, but didn't know she made it into a regular thing for the monies.
