Prince...miss U!

Thank u for all you did for me and my personal life...

I met so many cool people at your concerts, here at the org or other places...

discovered so many other artists...

your music helped me to get through tough times, made me laugh, made me dance, made me cry...

Since i was 15 years old i followed your music and it was great journey...<3

Will it get easier? It still consumes my every thought. I'll never be the same.

It'll get easier. Time really does heal. Hang in there.

I think never being the same again is OK. He changed our lives while he was alive and now through his death. The fact that things are different confirms just how much of an effect he had on us. In other words, how we feel now and in the future is evidence of how meaningful his life was.

I still can't believe he's gone. I did my part to celebrate him this weekend.

love it

Devastated. Fell in love with Prince in 1983 when I heard 1999 album for the first time and he's been my favourite Musician ever since. Much love to all the npg chatroom fellow peeps too xxxxxx

I defintely feel everyone's pain. when the news broke it hit me like a bus. I was in line at a resturant and immediately left to sit in my car in silence. I was frozen, didnt want to believe it. then I started the engine and the chords to Purple Rain started and I knew for sure, breaking down right there. i think what hurts me the most is that my love and admiration is generally recent, the past 6-7 years. i'm 22, and his music was really the soundtrack of my adolescence and it had such a profound impact on me in the short time i was blessed to have him. i listened to music but i didn't KNOW music until Prince. i guess i feel a little cheated, you know? i figured i had time, time to attend his shows, bring my future kids to his shows, time to meet him and tell him how much he means to me. I've been feeling better though. it really helps to focus on and appreciate the good moments he gave us vs the obvious. last night I watched the Sign O The Times concert dvd and i found myself genuinely smiling for the first time in days. His energy, his talent, god, it was electric. for a moment it felt like I was there.

this is gonna be a process for sure.

Of course it will get easier with the time. But deep down we all know that the world has lost its pop.

wow

i feel like a little kid... i just watch the amazing Dorthmund show on youtube.. i cant believe the quality and quantity of the stuff up there i mean its like a gold mine but in a way it feels wrong... alll the years of procuring these gems seems to have been somehow tainted.... thats what it was to find these shows even before the internet broke...in a way a whole new generation of P fans will be born but part of me says so what id rather have the skipper back... why did he leave so soon... this is still so horrible goin on the 2nd week
