So Prince and Bowie did spend some time together one evening. Cool.
Prince does what he does.
He even might play a David Bowie song on the piano as a tribute who knows;
And if he doesn't, so what. Prince remains Prince.
He doesn't openly have to say anything about Bowie. He probably did it in private i'm sure.

But it's not up to us to even have an opinion about this. imho.

-

As a gay person myself, I'm super happy to have known David Bowie as a musician and performer.

He meant so much to every one of us.

He made us freaks and creeps feel real and pargt of it all.

No exceptions.

He paved the way for every one of us who felt different.

No one ever did that back in the seventies.
I'm sure Prince knows that too.

Peace !

Maybe Prince doesn't see death as such a bad thing? He doesn't celebrate birthdays either.

I remember one rather recently Prince interview where he mentions Bowie... in regards to his own androgyny in the 80s and Bowie's in the 70s, I think. Something like that. Not able to find it, though.

Bowies view on 80's...Pixies was his favorite band from that period, among with Sonic Youth and so on..

Prince went to Left Eye's funeral, but he didnt attend James Brown's funeral...nuff said.

^ It's reported in the show thread too, here: http://prince.org/msg/12/421423

As you say, moving on

According to Twitter, Prince commented on Bowie at Paisley Park last night. Said he met him once, wished him peace, added that Bowie seemed like he was nice to everybody. There. Prince commented on Bowie. LET US BE DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT NOW.

So what I want to know is how I can activate the self-destruct button to this god-awful thread. I might just print it all out so that I can set fire to all the foul bollox writhing around in here.

It's actually the best way he could have addressed it in his own intimate way.

Eye feel sorry 4 sometimes 4 always being misunderstood & misjudged...

It's a simple song and a whole band can learn to play it very quickly.

^ And its riff is something a lot of guitarists have learned as part of their 'upbringing'.

It's also fun and get's people going. And it suits a lot of singers and bands, unlike so much of his other stuff, I think.

Yeah, it worked well in my uptempo DJ sets too.

Get real folks! As if Bowie's only influence on Prince as an artist was being nice when they met once.

How do you know he went to Left Eyes funeral? I doubt it. I thought he didn't do funerals at all.

very classy way of doing it. By making it personal it really means so much more that just stating the obviousthat Bowie "was a great star"

Thanks for posting this. It made my heart smile. When he wants to pay his respects he can. By the way sorry I repeated myself. I didn't see this picture before my previous post.

was @ LefteEye's funeral...

TAFKAP wasn't there either because Lisa died 2002 when he was Prince again. Just like I thought he didn't attend. Why would he when he didn't even go this parents funeral which just happened around this time.
