His "people" are badass rights checkers. He (they) were constantly battling with who could offer downloads / streaming of his music. That whole symbol-as-a-name thing was to thumb his nose at the record deal he didn't think was fair, and good luck trying to find one of his songs on YouTube. If you do, that link will be gone in a skinny minute. If you know shegirl IRL, somebody should check on her. I'm playing When Doves Cry for you 'girl!
Fixed that for you. I wonder how long they were sitting on this headline: Nation Too Sad To Fuck Even Though It’s What Prince Would Have Wanted Brings a tear to my eye...
A Minneapolis radio station is playing nothing but Prince songs as a tribute, if you're so inclined: http://www.thecurrent.org/listen
Agreed. Angel, your boss sounds like me when I would smoke weed: my mind would wander off, and I would confuse and weird-out whomever I was talking to. That's why I don't smoke it anymore. I've always sort of envied people who could smoke, and then just go about their daily activities in a normal fashion. I've often wondered how different my life would be if I'd just smoked weed instead of drinking and doing hard drugs.
hehehehehehe The article of this quote is not important....the final line is hilarious: "...clarified one person to a thunderous round of snaps." Thunderous round of snaps. And no, it's not an Onion article, it's a MSM article.
I was going to say there's this radio station 89.3 The Current here that you can depend on to play at least one Prince song every 24 hours it seems, and would expect nothing less than this in response.
My hotel TV defaults to whatever channel Nancy Grace is on. She's live with stuff about Prince. She's having people call in, she has a forensic medical examiner on, she has live footage of Paisley Park which pretty much entails an aerial view of the house with a lot of people outside and a bunch of law enforcement vehicles. "He was found in the elevator!" "He was so young!" "He was at a jazz club on Tuesday and that was two days ago!" "He was riding a bike on Saturday!" "He was seen at Walgreen's four times this week!" My head is going to explode but I can't turn it off.
As a Minneapolis native, I've always joked that, "As a Minnesotan, I'm legally required to love Prince". Turns out it was a joke to hide a truth. When I first saw the headline I yelled "SHIT" out loud, and was legitimately mad/sad for like 10 minutes.
Husband texted me...I saw it at lunch and said, "Shit." The only thing that could make 2016 worse in terms of legends would be Willie. I can hardly stand to type it.
There's no way I'm turning this off. Nancy was all up in arms that people would suggest drugs since he had given his life to the Lord and to clean living. Then she had people call in speculating on the cause of death. Dr. Drew is having a two hour special and Nancy goes back on at eight. I might have to call in sick tomorrow.
Cream, Erotic City, When Doves Cry, Musicology, Lets Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret... he made some of the best dance songs EVER. So glad I saw him live. 2.5 hours of his 4'11" ass on absolute FIRE on stage. He's a blue chip singer, dancer, guitar player, everything. He's the only other pop star who compares to Michael Jackson and Madonna but also with so much amazing funk and rock and by that betters MJ in some ways. Also gave a GREAT Super Bowl halftime, in the pouring rain wearing platforms on a slick plexiglass stage. The fucker gave it ALL to music. April 21st is the day doves cried.
Do not speak that into existence. I can't handle losing anymore of my legends. I'm still overwrought over Merle.
The story about Prince's jet making an emergency landing because of the flu? TMZ is now reporting it was because he'd OD'd on opiates.
Got an appointment a week out to get some more ink. My guy refuses to do names of significant others and I agree with him on principle, though he really liked my idea for something symbolizing my wife and I. Pictures, symbols, cool. Names, at least in my opinion, should be reserved for children and dead loved ones only.
