I have to agree somewhat. It's been a really weird year with my Dad's passing, Prince's and Bowie's death, the world in general, politics, personal relationships.

Jeez....hurry up 2017.

I mean this world with no Prince is just not the same. Shit just feels messed up for some reason...like its not flowing right I guess I always knew Prince was somewhere creating magic and took comfort in that....damn its just not the same Even coming to the org feels weird now I just dont know

I totally agree whole heartedly

My mom died almost 8 years ago in a car accident and i have sooo many memories of her and I jamming out to Prince together. She is where my love for him started. When he died it was like losing another piece of myself. He was sooo magical I honestly thought he was going to outlive us all because nothing could touch him.

I have to comment on this because it's almost exactly what I was going to write, and I want to say that I feel exactly the same way you do!

I lost my sister 7 years ago and my dad 2 years ago. My sister got me started on Prince, but then she lost interest after PR whereas I became even more interested.

I also truly believed that Prince would outlast us all. He did not seem to age until somewhat recently (the "fro" look aged him more than any facial or body changes IMHO).

Losing Prince was the end of an era, and in a lot of ways (for me) the end of the BEST era.

Our conversations here are even different...I guess eventually we'll run oughtta stuff to talk about too

Exactly. Even the org is stale...topics like "What's your jam from (insert name of album)?"

No substance.

I miss him a lot. I think about him everyday.

I mean I really miss knowing he was somewhere on this earth...just not right.

yeah. i suspected that david bowie's death in january would trigger the unravelling of the universe... i guess i wasn't wrong but prince's death just feels like a cosmic hole or something, like we've lost cabin pressure and there's no way to secure the fuselodge(sp). it's not just sadness for me but some kind of creeping doom.

maybe i need to get some sleep,it's getting late here.

and my parachute refuses to open... But at least I know you are all down on the ground waiting to catch me in a giant purple blanket.

This year is a M.F. and not in a sexy Princely way.

Yep I lost my Uncle , and Prince. All the terror happening in the world. Roll on 2017.

The world can be a cruel and unloving place. Prince was trying to make things fun, offer some light and to inspire us all to be better in spirit and deed. The enlightened ones will have to learn and practice to love one another; be a little more gentle and kind. Appreciate and enjoy what you do have! Find more sounds to appreciate, too! There is good music all around still, and as charismatic as Prince was, he has approached the performance stage for the last time and his final curtain has fallen. We've all got to move along--it is the only way. One day you may just find yourself all cried out and less sad. Day by day....

It is really too bad that there hasn't been a proper memorial for this artist convened for his devoted loving fans. We were all crazy for him--some of us, literally so. There have been ceremonies held for Prince's family and his extended colleagues. I feel that the same thing would help the rest of us with the transition as well. Attending a one-night block party or to view an artist's tribute to Prince is just not the same kind of thing. As a matter of fact, I have shunned most of those, these days. You could try writing letters to Prince. Keep them or throw them away as you see fit.

If you're feeling too bad, maybe the Org is a place to take a break from for the reamainder of the season to help restore yourself. To this end I would mean to say compassionately, how much vital information are you really going to miss? If I ever feel this way, then that is what I will do. People will be here for you when you return.

I know

He is missed ENORMOUSLY. Like all of you there isn't a day that doesn't go by that he's not in my thoughts. I cried everyday for 2 months straight. Now it comes and goes. Sometimes when I realize he is REALLY gone from this earth I can barely breathe it hurts so much. It's a surreal, sad realization. We love and miss him so very much!!!!!!!

I agree. We need a memorial, not another tribute. https://onevoice4peace.co...ar-prince/

Girl, I totally know how you feel....I osolate between feeling acceptance around it and feeling robbed all the time..he was an incredible, rare, true artist that had an incredible way of bringing likeminded people together...I ask God sometimes "Why did you have to take him now?" there was still so much left for him to do here, especially looking back over the last few years I was impressed how he was giving back to his community, mentoring other artists and speaking against injustices....he was truely a light in the world when things seem to be getting so dark everyday. For what it is worth though, we fans have the ablility to honor his memory by nurturing the ideals and values that his music taught. Let's stay connected to our purple family and create some good in the world.

Prince doesn't have his thumb on the scale anymore.

Everyday I say his name to someone when I'm out and about. When I got my hair cut this morning, the 20 something girl at the counter still has her hair purple and we talked about P.

I died a little when David Bowie passed but it wasn't as heartbreaking, even though I had loved him longer. He had two children, had managed to have a long marriage to a beautiful woman. He had lived longer.

Please don't stop posting on the Org!!! I just found you and I love it here. I have to give a shout out to Nursev - I don't know you but I love you.

fuck... I held it together through Future Soul Song & Walk Through Sand, but choked up at "Alright, that's the part" in Sticky because his voice sounds SOOOOOO close, just right IN my ear... fuck...

^^^Many thanks. Many people are feeling so bad about missing our Prince--ours as in everyone, because whether people believe or appreciate, that guy was for everybody.

As a good many people are feeling down these days, I hope that we can all feel better real soon and get back to moving toward the positive aspects of our challenging lives.

Jeff Beck (72) and Buddy Guy (80) are on tour together now. When I read news like this I often wonder what other gifts Prince had in store for us. He was supposed to at least make it another 23 years to age 80 right? Fuck the world.

agreed...I dont wish death on anyone, but how the hell is Ozzy still alive but Prince is gone...shit isnt right.

and Keith Richards!
