Dammit. I can’t wrap my head around this. Three people texted me in all caps, “PRINCE” and I checked Twitter and figured it was a hoax (a sick one), but, nope, not so much. It was true. Price was gone. When your musical idols start dying….first Bowie and now Prince. Too many people from the entertainment industry have died this year. Enough already. 2016 is the year of death. Fuck this.
His music was on my teenage life soundtrack for Chrissakes. His music made people happy and get up and dance. He was a true musical genius. Those vaults of unpublished music that we’ll never hear….Sigh. To say that he will be sorely missed worldwide is an understatement. I hope the Empire State Building is lit up in all purple tonight. Rest in Peace, Prince.
Let’s all sing….
