Noel paid tribute to Prince a few times at Glasgow tonight, walked out onstage to a huge picture of prince on the screen, and pointed at it with respect Also got the crowd to sing Live Forever as he played along, again with the Prince backdrop. He said "I was in a band once, and we had an album called Standing On The Shoulder of Giants, and Prince was one of those Giants" or something along those lines |

RIP. He seemed to be really great musician but for some reason I never really listened his music.

Haven't been able to post here that much. been super busy, but I'm in legit tears. Like spaneli said, Him and Bowie are just two huge mysterious ARTISTS. They were NEVER about any of the extra BS (sensational media, genre boundaries, gender rules), they were SO powerful in so many ways. I love a lot of music, but its rare to find and discover and artist that just carries that impetuous in their work. As an aspiring musician and as a growing 23 y/o it just puts in perspective the beauty of life and the work of these amazing people. His gender and genre bending iconic superstardom was the perfect yin to MJ's yang. As a white dude can't really say too much about this, but I imagine he helped breakdown a lot of LGBT/masculinity issues within the black community. That's just an incredible feat in and of itself. Dude was always the coolest mf in the room. Like Bowie he was just PRINCE, he wasn't a human, he didn't allow anyone or anything to stop him culturally, musically, or personally, and you have to respect and admire that. So many musicians aren't artists. This dude was one through and through. I'm not gonna say I'm a HUGE fan or anything, I don't know his huge catalog in and out, but his run from 80-87 is INSANE. Sign o' the Times and Purple Rain are legit all time classics. If you need an introduction to him at all - Watch his Superbowl performance or that George Harrison tribute. The former is the best SB performance of my lifetime and the latter his guitar literally ascends to Heaven. George's son is just grinning through the whole thing. Word gets thrown around way too much, but this dude was a legendary artist and a musical virtuoso. Bowie, Phife, and Prince. God's taking too many of my personal favorite legends, but damn that's gotta be one hell of a jam session. Prince and Jimi are definitely dueling it out. Hang tough, we still have Bob Dylan and Neil Young. |

And Paul McCartney.
My first thought was HIV as well. Not sure why. Tabloids keep saying he overdosed, but I've also heard he was a very healthy guy, and very strict towards his band about drugs, and that he was a Jehova's Witness. Not that that's saying much, I guess.

Another legend passes. Rest in peace.
The Grim Reaper seems to be targeting my childhood.

Oprah: "Why do you stay in Minnesota?"
Prince: "It's so cold it keeps the bad people out."
God bless.

"I talked to George Clinton, a man who knows and has done so much for funk," Prince told Rolling Stone. "George told me how much he liked Around the World in a Day. You know how much more his words mean than those from some mamma-jamma wearing glasses and an alligator shirt behind a typewriter? . . . I've heard some people say I'm not talking about anything on this record. And what a lot of other people get wrong about the record is that I'm not trying to be this great visionary wizard. Paisley Park is in everybody's heart. It's not just something that I have the keys to. I was trying to say something about looking inside oneself to find perfection. Perfection is in everyone. Nobody's perfect, but they can be. We may never reach that, but it's better to strive than not."

Shame this only has 3 pages, Prince in his 80's pomp is what Bowie was to the 70's. Both men just ruled their decades. Both did have their hit and misses probably Prince more then Bowie. Awesome Musician especially as a Guitarist, one of the best around and as a live performer one of the best. His death is shocking cause it came out of nowhere.
Sign of the Times is probably his outright masterpiece, although Purple Rain and Parade run it close. Also love Around The World in A Day, 1999 and Lovesexy. God that's some run of albums. Always start with a Greatest Hits cause he really did have some of the best singles ever. Check out the Black Album out, his unreleased album especially the track called Cindy C about him wanting to get off with Cindy Crawford.
