I know. I still haven't read the book I bought. Lot's have said their binge watching him on utube & constantly playing his music, whereas I have 2 be careful...just little spurts. Very strange coz he was my joyful place 4 thirty yrs & now I'm careful. It sucks talking about him in the past tense too.   "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

I saw someone say they felt like they were waiting, but God knows what for. There's like a weird limbo vibe. Maybe we're still in shock/denial?"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day.

Words often fall flat on the floor when trying 2 verbalise it all "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day.

I deliberately haven't gotten any tribute magazines. What can they truly tell me about P that I don't already know about his career after all these years? I enjoy his work instead and mostly choose to ignore what we all know happened unless I stumble across something new organically here. I try not to watch much about what the media says. They didn't know him. I'm mostly in denial, but it seems that's how I can cope the best so far. Some days I think about it and sob, but mostly I come here and look at pictures and laugh and try to be in the moment and enjoy him as if he were still with us on this planet. | |

Sounds like a good idea. My brain wouldn't let me tho, first few weeks were the absolute worst. So much stuff, overwhelming, & there i was, glutton 4 punishment.

If he was 80 something I wouldve tolerated it a little better but now I have to go the rest of my life knowing Prince isn't on this earth with me ...I hope it gets better for u [Edited 8/29/16 21:49pm] | |

Oh, believe me, I was as bad as you up until I couldn't listen to any more sadness about him and made a deliberate choice not to waste any more time with the sadness if I could avoid it. I decided to just luxuriate in the stuff about P that made me happy, even parts of his work that makes me cry but that's harder for me and I'm working on that, too. I know it'll be impossible to regain the complete innocence of enjoying P, but life's too short to spend not being able to enjoy him at all. So I do.  [Edited 8/29/16 21:56pm] | |

I have moments of that too. Hopefully they will increase in length (b4 something triggers the ambush). I know they will. Just raw still at the mo.

Are you talking about the Tribute magazines Nurse? Yes I kinda know what you mean. I still want to get the Ebony one, that is the only one I am missing.
But I the Rolling Stone tribute one is great because of the "Lost interview" they did with him in 2014. I found that really insightful...probably because I wasn't keeping up with him then so I really have an interest in what was going on with him in the last few years. | |

I was sad when MJ died too. He was my sister's favorite, Prince was my favorite.
But it was like the end of an era when Jackson died and I got his CDs from itunes and remembered how great his tunes were since I hadn't listened to them in ages. But the passing of Prince was like on another level for me. I felt like I grew up with him and ofcourse he was my "first love" | |

I remember I took my sister to see Prince in 2009 and she like lost her mind when he played a MJ tune, I can't remember if it was a Jackson 5 song or The Jacksons tune, I can't really remember but she was lovin' it!! 
so it hit me hard. I'm still grieving!!! I can completley understand how Elvis fans feel now....how devoted they felt, how devestated they felt, how they still have him a part of their life in memoriblia and music even though he is long gone. I totally get it now. I'll be a grandma busting out "Sign of the Times" for the grandkids I'm sure.

I remember when Elvis and MJ passed away thinking how I liked them vaguely, but how odd and over the top it seemed to me the way their fans were so desolate and destroyed by it. Now I get it. I do. I feel worse than I've felt when I've lost some people in my real day to day life that I knew on a personal level. It feels surreal to be so wounded by the loss of someone I never met and only knew as a celebrity. I can't even explain how it feels to people who know me cuz they think it's weird. But that's ok. I come here to folks who do understand cuz they're grieving, too. :hugs: [Edited 8/30/16 13:13pm] | |

The only magazine I bought is the German edition of Rolling Stone because it came with the SOTT DVD . There was also a tribute CD of people covering his songs but I don´t care for that. Other than that I haven´t bought any magazines because there was nothing in them that I hadn´t known before, and the ones with nice pictures had lame articles and were quite expensive. I know I´ll proabably regret not having bought more magazine five or ten years from now but I´m just not in the mood and still can´t believe what happened. I had a weird feeling before it happened and even talked about it with a fellow fan and later on he reminded me of what I had said previously. Maybe I´ll buy some of the really good magazines at some point if they are still available.
. . So, which ones are highly recommended? Newsweek? TIME magazine? Any recommendations ? " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |
