Prince dies at 57
 

Such a shame....due to flu???

Doves are crying......he was a great singer....and personality

So sad. R.I.P. Prince...

No one better. His Royal Purple Badness Lives On.... :beer3:

Huge talent. Amazing intellect. Compassionate person. But I didn't know much about him until he died.

He made some very original music. He seemed to be the favorite of some librarians at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management back in 1983-1984 but I did not hear that much admiration of him when I was at the University of Minnesota Law School. Maybe, I was in with the wrong crowd who were not Prince fans. He is from the Twin Cities area.

I was aware of Prince but I see the way people are reacting to his death. I really had no idea he was so popular. Maybe I should pay more attention. Any death is sad but such a young man...not good. He music is actually very good but a little over my head. R.I.P.

Not a good year for musicians in their 50's and 60's
 

2016 has not been a good year for musicians in their 50's and 60's...Glenn Frey, David Bowie and now Prince. Great musicians all of them.

Loved Prince's music...rest in peace.

We are trying to make Friday April 22 wearing of the Purple day !!! I will be wearing my purple in honor of Prince... RIP

I was quite surprised to hear of his death. Young talented musician.Sad. RIP Prince.

Not sure I have any purple. Those are the Vikings' colors-- purple and gold.

TMZ is reporting (and they are most often correct) that he was given Narcan just a few days ago - after an OD on his plane in the Illinois side of the Quad Cities...now, an OD in his elevator at home.

Sad, but little remorse for another dead junkie who had so much (at least he was not 27 - Hendrix, Jones, Jopplin, Morrison, Cobain). The reality, are any of us shocked? The good news is that he did change his name back from

An attorney friend of mine, yes you can actually be friends with an attorney, had a home on a lake in Chanhassen and mentioned that prince built a home next door for his parents. Yes the home Prince built for them was purple in color. this lake property was so well treed that adjacent homes were well hidden . Homes so large they were equipped with elevators.

Beautiful lots, beautiful lake, quiet

Drugs?
 

Probably so. Love how some like to push the use and avaiability of drug use on society as normal. Lost a great talent to his addiction.

His performance at bowl in the rain was outstanding

Prominent Minnesotans praise Prince.

I hope this is not political.
