I'm gonna go drink. RIP in peace little purple dude.

It used to be a reflexive thought that, as soon as I learned someone cool died, I would think: "Yet Scalia's still alive?!"

I guess now this is just Death balancing the books.

So are we going to get 20 new albums over the next decade, of "unknown Prince hits recovered from his secret sex-vault".

He is well-known for actually having a huge amount of unreleased work (unlike many other dead artists), so probably.

Saying something entirely subjective is better or worse than something else thats entirely subjective while citing metrics like number of instruments played is so contrived and absurd that I'm stunned you had the gall to accuse other people in this thread of being autists. The only thing that truly makes one person better than the other in any sense is their height and Prince was 5'2".

Price was definitely more talented than Bowie. You can like Bowie more and say he's "better" or what ever, but Prince was a flat out more talented musician than Bowie, that's not opinion. Bowie had A LOT of help writing his songs, usually he'd have the chord changes and lyrics then the producers and studio guys would punch it up for him. Niles Rogers talks about this in some Bowie doc. He said Bowie came in with a 12 string guitar and played Fame for him, but it was very slow and folky and Bowie wasn't sure what to do with it, so Niles sped it up and added all those cool delay effects and kickass riffs. Prince on the other hand, did loving everything himself and was a crazy perfectionist. No one added poo poo to a Prince song unless he told them to. The guy had the musical acumen of a Berkeley jazz professor and used it to make songs about loving.

im just gonna concede to posting nothing but filthy Prince lyrics in this memorial thread







Ace's girl showed up, that's when the party started jumpin'
Tower Of Power's "Squib Cakes" steady humpin'
I said "Carrie, hmm, do U wanna dance?"
She said "Uh hmm, yeah, like later man, first let me smoke this weed"
I said "drat, my cologne ain't sayin' poo poo if this is what she needs"

Yeah, before I knew it, Carrie was seein' double
That's when me and her got into trouble
So much 4 the dance
I started takin' off Carrie's pants

The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Gettin' it on in the schoolyard

(Hey hey.. hey!)

And now boys and girls 4 the graphic part
Close your ears if U ain't got a nasty heart
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Here we go
Now take a glove, fill it with hot baby lotion and slip it on (Well)
Pull it tight, that's what Carrie was like
One stroke and I was gone
Gone I was, it's true
The schoolyard, the schoolyard

Prince was not gay and I doubt he used IV drugs. aids is very unlikely.

However he could have died of any retarded disease to die from, because he was a Jehovah's Witness and they refuse many kinds of medical treatment

Those buttholes over at Voodoo Donuts spent no time capitalizing off his death. I went there once with a friend and we ordered 4 donuts to split and try different kinds. The bill was almost $20, for loving 4 loving donuts. They tasted exactly like generic Safeway/Albertsons/Fred Meyer/Supermarket donuts. gently caress that place.

Don't be obtuse. Insertive vaginal sex is one of the absolute rarest ways to acquire the virus, with an estimated 4 transmissions per ten thousand acts.

Would this be with or without having an erection? Sometimes it's easier just to put it in flaccid and wait 5-10 minutes until it wakes up.

The first Prince album is basically where the music from Sonic the Hedgehog came from, which is why I'm surprised so many goons don't like him.

The Queen outlived the Prince. Maybe this death was a gift for her majesty, erasing the name of a "pretender monarch" and securing the imaginary hold on the royal bloodline.

I so desperately want there to be a conspiracy theory involving England's queen and Prince's death, it would be yet another story that is "weird but true" regarding Prince.

To be clear, that's the female-to-male transmission ratio. Male-to-female is significantly higher. Like, by a lot.
