R.I.P. Prince

Post by _DarkHelmet »

I wasn't huge fan, but I loved some of his songs, and got a new level of respect for him after watching this performance at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to George Harrison. He was a genius.

I' surprised no one in the media has criticized him for physically abusing a woman. Sinead O'Conner claims he summoned her to his house to tell her to stop using curse words in her interviews, and what ensued was a fist fight after she told him to go have intercourse with himself.

I would put money on Sinead O'Conner kicking his ass.

Between Prince and Bowie, we lost two of the most prolific song writers of our time in just a couple months.

He was a weird dude, but he wrote a lot of very snappy tunes.

I don't like either of them so for me it would be great pay per view. :lol:

Prince's song Party like its 1999 gave a big boost to both millennial craziness and doomsday preparations in the Jell-O Belt. I imagine many Mormon families gave extra hugs and kisses to their children before sending them off to bed on December 31, 1900.

Do You think about December 31, 1999?

All the US space missions were breaked long before (two weeks...) that date, feared the opportunities of Y2K problems. The astronauts were brought down; the terrestrial (hehehe, speshul Mormon word...) systems were all switched off on Earth.
Not a wonder.
At that time, NASA used 8080 processors and CP/M based op systems; or no op systems at all but embedded systems..

Nothing to do with Prince...
