What If Prince Died...?

I know, "who wants to talk about it", but lately there's been somewhat of a uproar about negativity towards Prince on this site. People state how they've been fans for years and have time and time again been let down and/or disappointed by Prince. I think the majority of us, understand the frustration involved with, feeling screwed over, or ripped off, by your favorite artist/musician/singer/writer/whatever. BUT lately (the past year to be exact) The World and the Country has experienced great loss with; Sept 11th, we've lost Aaliyah and Lisa Lopes and countless others this past decade. It's time to appreciate the artist that we love, for 'who they are, while they're here.'

Rather you love him or hate him (or strongly dislike). I'm sure all of us here would be very saddened to hear, that our Prince has died. I'm not asking wise crackers, sarcastics, or people who poke fun at others, to stop being themselves. I've personally been forced to put things in perspective and appreciate what I have 'here on earth' It's my opinion that everyone do the same, that's all.
Recently, I had a chat with a friend of mine, whom I haven't spoken with for awhile, she is a die-hard TLC fan. She was extremely upset with the death of her beloved 'Left-Eye' She just expressed the fact that Ms. Lopes had so many future dreams and ambitions, that the world may never see.

I always put myself in other peoples shoes, I'm glad that my favorite artist is still around, doing POSITIVE things with his music.

Thanx for listenin'

P.S. "I expect there to be silly comments, and sarcastic wise-cracks on a topic/thread like this. Just know that you're making more of a fool of yourself in doing so, so if you can grow up, for just a min, I would appreciate your response. Thanx again smile

Thanx I greatly appreciate it. It's somewhat of the same posts, yet I think I approach it in a different kind of way. But still thanks.

See, I jus knew that some body would say some DUMB shit like that!

I sure would like to see you say that to my face. But I'm not gonna stoop down to your Stupid level. There are surely some sick/twisted/mentally impaired people on this site. Definetly weighing on my nerves.

VH1 will play Prince Pop-Up Video.

I imagine BET might play a little Prince. Maybe on MTV2 we'll have the Prince 1 hour video marathon they used to show...That Kurt Loader guy or osmething on MTV will come on the breaking news and announce the death of Prince.

Obsessed people like oceana will send dozens of seashells to the visitation.

Hmm, would it be like the death of Elvis? Would people make tons of jokes...I imagine so.

The militant dislike of some who constantly come to a site devoted to him is fascinating. A psychologist could have a field day. And those who talk about the fact that they would have his baby or brush their teeth with his *** is nauseating. A psychologist could have a nightmare. eek

It would be the saddest day of my life. I would remember the ONA concert and all the good he has done in his life and with his music. Playing his music would keep him close to my heart.

How about...

"What if you died?"

How about asking that question to yourself this morning and get out and have a great day like it was your last!

I may think his current work sucks and has for at least 5 years, but at least he's always doing something interesting and hasn't let up the pace in YEARS, which is something my other fave artists can hardly say

so in that respect I'd be a little bummed

but when that time comes I'm not about to throw myself off a cliff or anything. Even hardcore Deadheads didn't do themselves in after Jerry died in '95, unfortunately

i wouldn't be surprised.
everything i like is always taken away from me.sad so it woulnd't matter.

prince is married.
i am not talented enough to be invited to pasily park to perform.
i am not allowed to open the window and the blinds of my room cos the neighbor is a male. even though his window is diagnol to mine,and even though his blinds are always closed, i am not allowed to open the window/blinds. let alone see a guy who sings about sex, stimulates sex,wears an underwear on stage.


but the real question is what about when we die!
if we die, who would remain a prince fan? are any of you guys letting others listen to prince? are you promating him in anyway? what if prince raises the prices of the club/tickets? what if he makes more shit music? what if he pisses off to many ppl. with his rasict talks, and religious talks?
what about...us?

If the wounds are been made by an old love, a new Love can heal them. Is that true?

if he died it would be very sad i think! who wants to think about that? i would hope that he had salvation.

my guess is whoever he left his music to in his will would release his music from the vault and we would have endless cd's coming out of music like they did after jimi hendrix died, anything they could find that he recorded was released.

No need to get bitchy now...

Lord knows I've made the mistake of reposting threads that have already existed. This is the first time I've made the effort to point out that this topic has been discussed to the death before, simply because I think the question is pointless (key words here: I think). It would be sad if he died, but there's no need to dwell on this, esp. if IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE.

The point of having these questions archived is to avoid reposting them - once is quite enough.
