Funky Dawg!

Prince taught us that a man wearing high heels, make up, hoop earrings, and fabulous clothes, was sexy as hell.

A year ago I posted this on my facebook..

I'm driving my red corvette, wearing my raspberry beret, watching the doves cry, in the purple rain, like it was 1999....

I decided the first Prince song that played on my Prince folder this morning would be my focus, the song...

RACE

If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know

RIPPrince

"It's been so lonely without you here"..........love and miss u Prince!

Mixed emotions as usual. Sad that this one year anniversary has come. So thankful & gratelful for all of your music and your being that you shared with us! Ready to see Purple Rain again on the big screen!!

i felt like crap a year ago and the feeling lingers On..

I miss you a lot.

Prince: An outstanding man, especially in a particular group or class

People come and people go in our life, but u made such an impact that u will always be apart of our life 4ever. U were 1 of a kind and Nothing Compares 2 u. When u left this earth, u had no idea the impact u made on people around the world. U were sent here 4 a reason and u fulfilled your duties Somewhere Here On Earth. The Lord called u 2 b with him because he had other plans 4 u. Rest peacefully my Angle and Wear you Wings that you so deservedly Earned. U entertained us with the Beautiful Sound of Music, your beautiful smile and gorgeous looks. I know u r doing the same n HEAVEN. RIP my Dear Prince, RIP. U r so greatly missed and never 2 b forgotten

My clock/radio actually came on this morning playing a Prince interview and then went into "I Would Die 4 U." The first song that played on my CD player in my car was "My Name is Prince." To celebrate his life on this bittersweet day, I'm recording many hours of VH-1 as they are airing a Prince Video Tribute. I'm planning on watching "Purple Rain" later tonight. He truly was one of a kind and there will never be another like him.

Sorry, I'm not able to write it in English:

Ich hatte wirklich keine vorstellung, wie mir der heutige tag begegnen würde, was er mit mir und anderen machen würde. Schon viele tage zuvor sagte mir eine banges, ahnungsvolles gefühl, den heutigen besonderen tag eher in aller zurückgezogenheit unter der stillen kühle eines steines verbringen zu wollen. Vielleicht mochte sich mein innerstes doch nicht so ganz mit diese vorstellung abfinden, jedenfalls blieb mir die unfreiheit des steins erspart und anstatt dessen leitete den heutigen tag genau das gegenteil.

Diese extrem guten purple vibes machten sich schon vor dem erwachen bemerkbar, glühte sozusagen schon mal von innen vor.

Mein erster bewusster gedanke galt Prince und diesem besonderen tag und verband sich augenblicklich und unkaputtbar mit einem lächeln, mit viel musik und vielem anderen, was uns Prince bot und noch immer bietet. Dieses lächeln leitete mich liebevoll und in geborgenheit durch diesen tag und machte es mir leicht, ihn anzunehmen. Oh selbstverständlich kam auch wieder die trauer und das vermissen hoch, auch das durfte in aller achtsamkeit sein, wusste ich mich doch so wunderbar behütet. Auch jetzt, wo sich für mich dieser tag fast beschliesst, hat sich dieses gefühl des getragen werdens nicht erschöpft und ich bin in aller demut extrem dankbar für das, was heute war.

Mein herz durfte heute frei und froh sein in aller zuversicht. Danke, danke, danke, wer oder was immer mir heute eine schützende hand und ein lächeln bot. Die erinnerung an den heutigen tag wird immer in mir leuchten, gab er mir doch mehr als er mir je hätte nehmen können.

Last but not least ein liebevolles danke + 1000Xs&O's an alle orger, die mir innerlich nahe sind. Nur mit euch zusammen gehen die lichtvollen wie die düsteren zeiten.

Love rules!

It's great hearing him on the radio like this. It's alot more comforting to hear his bandmates and associates on the radio as well, sharing stories and their own feelings on him and this day. It's not so much sadness I feel, but maybe just a void. I was in the exact same place during my lunch break today that I was when I found out what happened last year, doing the exact same thing, except a lot of things have changed since on a personal level as well. I wish I could be at Paisley with all of those folks and bathe in that entire atmosphere. I only want to hear his music right now, which i'm not mad at lol. Thanks bro!

In a very somber mood today. Been thinking about you every day for the past year. All the great music and your beautiful spirit and soul you blessed us with. Miss you so much and I feel very guilty for taking you for granted at times when you were still with us here on earth, now I feel your presence looking down on all of us, sweet angel. Forever in my heart, forever in my life. RIP love.

Miss you, P...You've left a gaping hole and I'm not sure yet what can fill it, or even if I want it filled...I guess I now need to treasure that absence in the same way as your presence - it's all one in the great scheme of things, I suppose...

Only thing that comes to mind today is

"man, Life's a Bitch"

But Prince thank you for all you gave us.

UR Talent was limitless and u gave as much.

U made me a better person. But I still

feel lost and like a failure. A Loser. Cause' I

look all around now without you and this world has

gone to shit. Where did we go wrong?

I failed to save and Protect both of my musical idols.

I failed to spread enough love that Dictators in foreign countries

want to nuke us all. I failed to spread love so right wing so called christians

continue to be prejudiced and hateful. I failed to stop police from

tortoring people of color. I failed miserally

I failed u and for that I am so lost and sorry.

I take this all personally cause I care. When did we stop caring?

I don't know. Its hard. I know there must have been

more I could have done. But one thing I also learned the hard way the last 10-15 years is that

you can only control yourself and how you treat others.

I realize I am not responsible for other's hatred.

But I wish I could have done more.

Thank you for your music.

It will help me be the strong woman to bear all this alone.

I hope you are happy. You deserved no pain. You deserved this love

from all over the world. what is left of it. You deserved Freedom.

Thank u

Michelle

Hope 2C U Soon, For Real.

Words really can't express how I feel but I love you. Thank you for making each day brighter and more special to me. Hope to meet you one day in heaven but until then rest in peace.

Prince

You and your amazing music has touched my soul in a way that no other artist has. it has and will continue to make this world a better place. No one can ever take the place of our man!

Love him so much.

Dear P,

You had me at "I Wanna Be Your Lover."

Peace, Love, bilbolives

We all miss you - RIP funky puI
I miss you so much, the minute I heard I Wanna Be Your Lover, I was hooked on your music. I will never forget you. You are now singing with the angels. R.I.P. My Sweet Prince.

I miss Prince so much! He is only two years older than I am so I feel like I grew up with him. My first memories of Prince was seeing him on TV and buying magazines so I could rip out the posters inside and put them up on my bedroom walls. My first Prince concert was in San Francisco with Prince, The Time and Vanity 6. My last concert was flying to LA to see Prince at the forum. I will never forget it. I look at your pictures everyday in my office at work and I listened to KJLH all day so I could hear your songs.

I always thought that I would grow old watching Prince and I looked forward to the day when he would be old and could still get on stage and shred that guitar. Prince had swag before they called it that. No one will ever be like Prince and he was the greatest entertainer of all time. If there is an afterlife, I hope to see him again. RIP my beautiful Princey!
