So... was he gay or what ?

No, he banged tons of hot chicks, strangely enough.

Prince was a virtuoso. :(

A plane he was on had to do an emergency landing recently because he was sick. I'm guessing he was in much worse shape than we knew.

AIDS maybe?

He had AIDS, he was dying, and killed himself to get it over with, and did it in such a way that they're having trouble identifying the body.
How'd he do it?

I believe it for sure.

Prince really committing to Throwback Thursday by dying of the flu like it's 1916 all over again.

It's easier than you think when you have full blown AIDS.

Exactly. Prince meant two minors things exactly in my life.
The Batman song that was kinda cool at the time.
And the SImpsons episode where Milhouse meets Shelbyville Milhouse.

Prince was better at playing, but Bowie was a better songwriter.

Prince wasn't as influential as Bowie, even though he was a better musician. Prince was one of a kind while Bowie had tons of imitators.

I have great respect for both of them, but it's not really worth arguing who was "better".

I'm open to counter-arguments. The only thing I take exception to is someone acting like there's no argument to be made in Prince's defense over David Bowie, an artist I've always liked but never had any songs that I'd call masterpieces.
Bowie has masterpiece albums.

Micheal Jackson was an amazing musician who composed entire songs with his voice. Like, he would multi-track every instrument but just with his voice. Bass lines, drum beats, guitar riffs... everything. With only his voice. That's pretty loving amazing.

Agreed. Contrary to what autistic goons think, the voice is an instrument.
