they say prince od'd in 2011 so he probably wasn't that healthy. I find it interesting that some of the guys like morris hays will not speak about the drugs, not that he should or shouldn't but it's obvious that he's stipulated that before his interviews. I didn't know about the overdose in 2011 but he definitely LOOKED in good shape. And he'd need all the stamina in the world to keep up with that young woman who was on his arm that night. | |

ya, he looked fine, up until about 2014 or whenever the arsenio interview was. I got kicked off of here when I went on a thread and guys were talking about glitter on his eyes and thick makeup, just vile and I went ballistic and got banned. He likewise looked way better than 99.9 percent of 50 something in that tribute to him on bet. | |

God mj even mentioned in Princes death. Never get how you can be ibsessed with MJ n be into Prince. Listening to MJ pop songs where would you find the same stimulation in Prince? Cream Diamonds and Pearls. Like saying your obsessed with Madonna but saying you really like Chopin. Just seems schizo to me | |

Im not an emotional guy and I was blindsided by how much it affected me. Still does. I just watched the Revolution play in Chicago and was moved at times. His death affected me like i lost a close friend. His music has been a part of my identity, for lack of a better description, for over 25 years.
If you wouldve asked me 1 day before his death how I wouldve felt, my response wouldve been nothing compared to the reality. I underestimated the importance of that dude and his music in my life. Im gratefull and wish he was still here. (Insert something clever here) | |

I cant listen to MJ because of it. Was and still am tired of the name check. MJ is about fun consumptin and thats fine. But from 1984 oneards ive been forced to analyse him because of name check. To compare him to Prince is ridiculous and massively reduces Princes scope. It just feels mathematically stupid. I love pop music too but i dont put it as equal because i like it. Thats actually more arrogant. Poor Prince | |

they were contemporaries and peers, MJ wasn't a musician or instrumentalist i should say. his songwriting, his production skills, his stage show, along with the pioneering of video and I have to say, would there even have been an audience for PR without thriller? Mj revitalized the business, he created a need to fill a competive void(s) springsteen benefitted too. it was all about hugeness and vids. and lets not forget, michael broke color barriers. both respected each other, watched each other, talked shit about each other, referenced each other. Prince was more fearless of course and innovative musically but I think it's silly to be insulted by the comparison, MJ was a helluva an artist, and he was more subversive than Prince, Billy Jean is a blues song, not a pop song. | |

I can get where you're coming from OP, I feel that way nowadays when musicians and pop culture people I grew up on pass away. I guess it's reasonable to form some manner of emotional attachment to pop culture, for many of us music was a part of our identities growing up and a spatio-temporal recursion of past triumphs and future traumas, but time erodes all dispositions and you reach a point in life when they all start dropping off in clumps yet I'm dulled by the realistion that I'm just getting old. When news came through that Whacko Jacko died I could barely finish my lunch, but 7 years on with PRN and then Attrell Cordes passing, it simply instantiated the denouement of their musical narratives and the cognizance of inevitability, which supersedes all of our futile clings to whimsy. I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

[Edited 10/13/18 7:46am] That was one of the best posts I've ever read here. It puts into perspective just how deep and bold an artist he was and why so many were touched by this man. I always thought Prince was a beacon of hope for the lost children of the world. | |

No offense, but I am not sure how anyone can feel completely numb about a man with no wife or kids dying alone in an elevator from a mislabeled pill after years of pain issues. Even casual fans were a bit bummed out by that one. Long time followers of Prince being numb just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I am not going to criticize; I just don't understand it. I am not a particularly big George Michael fan but seeing his death pop up on christmas day was a bit of a bummer even for me.

the whole "how can you listen to both mj and prince" bullshit is just that. Bullshit.

I've been a fan of Prince since I was 8, I saw the video of Kiss for the first time and I fell in love with it, that was when I discovered it existed. He heard the news of his death on the evening news (well, in Italy it was evening seen the time zone), I had just finished dinner and I was clearing the first thing I thought was "and now what has' invented? A publicity stunt? where did this come from? ", and I continued to do what I did without giving weight to the thing. Then I went to sleep. The next day I turned on the PC and looking at some sites and 'appeared the news in a cross and I thought "again, but really people believe?". But I was intrigued by what could be written and then I clicked on that icon. While I was reading the article, I kept repeating "it's a joke", at that point I looked for other news to understand if it was true or not. By now I am 2 years and a half living in an internal battle, my heart keeps telling me that it is all a plan orchestrated by him and that he is somewhere finally free to do what he wants free from the eyes of the people, while the my mind says it's gone and it will not come back anymore ... but what the truth is I do not know, the only thing I know is that I've been crying every day for two and a half years (even now that I'm writing these words), I listen to his music, I dream it every night .... I'm sick, HURTS .... | |

I was numb for like 1 day, out of shock. I first saw it on the news and then my whole FB timeline was full of it. I saw it all but couldn't believe it. The next night, I cried a little when I listened Kiss. But it first hit me this year, 2 years after he passed and I cried as if I lost a family member. Sometimes I still can't believe that he's gone. | |

Videos of him pop up in my Instagram feed almost on a daily basis, and I can tell you honestly I would rather be listening to (and seeing) him than any other artist. | |

I can only speak for myself, but with Michael Jackson there was that element of tragedy and lost opportunity. Dude had an awful, abusive childhood (Prince's wasn't a cakewalk either, but it wasn't like Mike's), never really made meaningful connections with people his own age, never loved (or indeed made love) a woman, and then had his life torn apart over quite obviously BS allegations.
A certain kind of mellow. | |

Non riesco a capire che è successo o meno, il mio era solo un ringraziamento per quello che hai scritto su Prince. Ma se ti ho offeso in quel modo in cui ti chiedo scusa non volevo. [Edited 10/16/18 10:59am] | |
