Tomorrow is May7, a month from what would have been Prince's 58th birthday. Is there anything that all of us can do here on the org or elsewhere online to mark the occasion on June 7? Just a thought. Any ideas?

We could all not celebrate it in any way at all which would honour his memory by showing respect for his view on birthdays.

Excellent point, Lust, but I thought Prince "released" an old tune not too long ago on his birthday (within the past few years). Am I wrong?

Well in our hearts we'll know it's the day he would have turned 58 years old. I can't see how it would hurt anything to just show some kind of rememberance.

Eveyday i will think of him and honour him by playing his cool music.

Mourn by watching or hearing something lovely.

Do whatever the fuck you want don't ask permission.

I don;t know why you need to be so mean about it - they were just trying to ask a question of the group. If you have something so mean to say, maybe you shouldn't even respond to the thread. Just a thought. Peace and Love.

Another member suggested a purple porch light, everyone could wear purple or no some kind of community activity - but since it is on a work day, that might be hard. Very thoughtful idea.

Watch the Detroit birthday show. Listen to the revolution birthday show. Make a playlist of songs he'd written or released on his birthday - see princevault. Play his music loud as fuck with the bass turned up in your car or home with the windows open. Wear purple, yellow, peach and black, a fedora or a batsign. It's the little bugger's birthday - lets celebrate the shit out of him and funk and dance. He's gone, we're here. Do him proud. Love you all! [Edited 5/6/16 13:57pm]

Love this

I would be happy just to have a chance to quietly pay my respects at PP. Just a brief tour with Prince's music playing softly in the background. Not leaving flowers and balloons outside the fence, no other artists playing his music. Just open up the place for the week perhaps, make sure there's plenty of staff and security on hand. I don't even care if they don't sell souvenirs.

sounds like a trip I need to plan

I think July 7, the seventh day of the seventh month, should be the Prince memorial day, which also marks the seventy-seventh day after his death.

Pure brillance!

On his birthday I am going to play the songs I can play from my piano books Musicology and 3121. It was him that inspired me to start playing in 1995 when Diamonds and Pearls came out. So I think I'll give him a musical tribute from me. And of course, pass on his musical gift daily to anyone I can.

Let´s just be nice to each other here on the org for at least one day, play his music all day long, send some newbies info on how and where to find outtakes , and celebrate Prince´s music, message and spirit.
