Can one of the mods make this thread a sticky please? Thanks

... it's worth it, there are so many good articles to read now or save for later reading so it's great to have them all together. I have saved many articles already as well, locally via Save Page As .., via bookmarks and also by adding them in the browser plugin Pocket.

Thx so much for all the links

I've noticed that quite a few articles I've read around the internet haven't been linked here, so I thought I'd start a thread much like the podcast link thread. It'll be nice to have one thread with all the online tributes & interviews.

Please feel free to add to the list!

can you go to the links an cut n paste what each individual posted about Prince?
If you click on each link, the same thing shows

My two favourites

I'm not really that much of a Ween fan, but I enjoyed this article from Rolling Stone.

http://www.rollingstone.c...506?page=2

"Prince kept the clamps down on his personal life. There were no nasty rumors. It was all about the music. Now it feels like the ultimate violation that people are gonna start digging into his life. It's so horrible every time I see speculation on his life now, or rumors about how he died. As a Prince lover, no one's supposed to go there. Nobody is supposed to be in his bedroom in Paisley Park. No one is supposed to be talking about his personal affairs. It's an awful thing. I'm very heartbroken. He was my John Lennon."

"(On visiting Paisley Park Studios) Suddenly Aaron goes, 'Dude!' I look over and he's hovering over a music stand in the middle of the room with a microphone. Aaron grabbed a page of lyrics and goes, 'Look at this!' In obvious Prince handwriting, there was a drawing of an eyeball for the letter 'I' that said 'Wanna suck you off.' I ran over to look at it, and the next thing I know we're horse-collared by two security guards. They fucking threw us out in the snow. That day I learned you don't grab Prince's lyrics off the mic stand."

Here's another very sweet story

Remember when Prince Took Wyoming Fan Lisa Barber On a Blind Date in 1986?

This is her story now about that event 30 years ago:

This obituary from The Economist is so poignant and well written, a must read:

Prince remembered by Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, a band Prince was a fan of....

**Oh boy. 2016 is one brutal year for taking the special ones, and there goes another with the magnificent Prince. As naturally gifted as Stevie Wonder, he was PROLIFIC and no one put on a better show than Prince. You wanna talk about VALUE for money?? He gave back WAY more than anyone could have expected. And blow me down, he was a fan of our band! Yes, he loved us and boy we loved him. It's almost surreal to imagine him listening to Blue Bell Knoll and Heaven Or Las Vegas. I was lucky to see him play 4 times and i remember the shows like i remember great films. Scenes stay with you. He'd been putting out music for almost 40 years. And i reckon he released about 38 albums in that time! And that was just as Prince! He also had about 22 aliases as well.
