What I've learnt is that Prince was way more respected than I thought, at least here in the UK. He made barely a splash in the media with shows or albums but his death was everywhere and apart from a couple of the gutter press papers, there's been nothing but amazing things said about him by everyone.





way , way more respected than i thought as well.. Way more liked than i knew...I thought i was the only Prince stan in an office of 20 till the day he died..Literally the whole office was devastedd so much so that our CEO said fuck it and took us all for a walk to get ice cream...Further, there were 20 different Prince songs playing simultaneously as each person was playing their favorite; none the same..that says something about Prince, his impact and hs catalog

I am quite surprised to see that so many stars and celebs respected his talent, who made it known only after his passing, such as Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush etc.

Also all those purple-lit buildings and monuments around the world hint to today's "managers in suits" in their forties or fifties, who had developed great respect for Prince when they were teenagers.

I didn't know that he had so many secret admirers. I thought that I (like you) was the odd one out there.

I've learned that Prince music in my life is apparently more obvious than I ever realized. I've had people that I've not talked to in twenty years or more, that I went to high school with, find me on Facebook. Their notes to me have said I was the first person they thought of when they heard the news. .

Me too. People I'd not spoken to in years sent messages of comfort, thanked me for bringing his music into their lives and shared their pain.
I'm looking out for a purple dolphin.

That Prince actually did normal things. He shopped for new music, rode his bike around town, went to the chemist ( sad ), didnt actually bother with security too much (I guess the body guards was all for show really).

But what Ive learned most is that Prince was much more admired and loved around the world than I could have ever guessed.

I was happy to learn about the normal things he did.

I've been unhappy to learn about some of his more homophobic fans on here though, "please let it not be aids, i couldn't handle if he was gay" kinda stuff. neutral

I've learned a new level of tenderness and appreciation in myself for him, for you all, for everyone.

The world is full of assholes nursev. Try to let it go.

I had to walk away....I just couldnt and wouldnt even engage them.

SMH and I thought people were more open to homosexuality now. Obviously P wasn't gay but even if he was, doesn't make him less talented/gifted. I see we have not made an improvement in society after all

1. Finally proved that no one gives a sh!t about me

2. I'm mentally f*cked

3. I got 2 sides and they're not friends

4. Hypocrites are everywhere

5. Just because they're your family, doesn't mean they love you

6. People will appreciate you after you die

7. If I am considered guilty for what goes on in my mind, then send me to the electric chair for my future crimes
