Today's sign that the Apocalypse is upon us: Pikkkle's saying something nice about a black person.

Not a big fan of his music, but I recognize that he was an underrated guitar player.

I am a fan of his music....it's not everybodys cup of tea but I definitely am/was a fan...I saw him live in Portland Ore in 1997 and he was unbelievably talented both as a musician and a singer

Prince did not penetrate my bubble very far. About a 15 on that scale. But rack him for being a star and creative genius. Apparently.

^^^^
This.

I guess he was a great talent but I was never a fan of his music. As far as guys who could play multiple instruments, I'll take the two Steve's over Prince - Wonder and Winwood.

Charlie Sheen would be another devastating loss, BTW.

A damn fine guitarist, wasn't Hendrix his inspiration?

Check out the last 3 minutes or so with Prince doing his thing. If someone handed him a can of lighter fluid, I bet he'd have gone Hendrix on it.
Yes, Hendrix was an influence. Ever hear the ending of "Let's Go Crazy" and not think of Jimi?
Prince wrote a lot for others too, "Manic Monday" for the Bangles and "Stand Back" for Stevie Nicks come to mind.
RIP.

The media are making it out like John Lennon and SRV just died in the same plane crash. Prince was ok but not even a pimple on David Bowies' ass.

RIP regardless.

Take your shallow RIP and shove it up your ass. I hate when shitbags like you turn these things into competitions. A once in generation musician died and all you can do is bitch and complain about your perceived boogeyman overhyping someone. Prince was a true bad ass, an incredible musician, a phenomenal songwriter and trail blazer.

Give him his due props, then go fuck yourself...after choking on a Piss Minus.

Yes, you do seem to be in a perpetual state of anxiety, agitation and are easily angered. You should tell your doctor about that, assuming you have a PCP that is. He could prescribe some meds you can't afford.

As for Prince and your misplaced adulation, here's a list of his greatest songs that would make a Top 500 list on Memorial Day weekend on whatever gay radio stations you have on your preset buttons:

As if I needed you to explain the "point" of logging in or mashing submit

Prince was a true bad ass, an incredible musician, a phenomenal songwriter and trail blazer.

Sorry to have to be the person who breaks this newsflash, but he wasn't all that exceptional other than he was a successful black dude living in 99% white Minnesota. Admit it, that's what really has your LGBT panties wet about Prince. You love "diversity" and never fail to lick your own inner asshole to promote it. Meanwhile, you lash out in a transparent attempt to force others to accept your perverted agenda.

It's not working. Not now, not ever. But keep fighting the good fight if that's what floats your boat. Just don't expect me to help row.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 1:44 am

Ah, so THAT's what this is about. You didn't like his lifestyle, so you denigrate his contributions to music. Sorry I don't live my life in a perpetual state of bitterness like yourself. Here's to your daughter eating box.

So a guy masters 20 or so instruments, produces and plays all the instruments on his major label debut, sells hundreds of millions of records and is call "the best guitarist on earth" by none other than Eric Fucking Clapton and Wags is like "no big deal."

Fucking ponderous

This sucks. Whether you like/dislike his music, there is no denying he was an amazing musician. And, yeah, Kanye being found alive, yet again is disappointing.

Prince death story led off the CBS evening news while Bowie got like 3 minutes at the end with filler material.

Damn right it's ponderous and I don't care what color their skin was or which way their sexual preference leaned. Bowie was 10 times better and more influential than Prince. The ONLY fucking reason he gets more attention is the PC culture wars over which public restroom Screwey can use whilst changing his tampon after the sex change surgery backfired.

R-Jack · Post by **R-Jack** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 2:49 am

I didn't see the CBS evening news to verify either dead musician's airtime. However, if your point is Bowie's death was a blip on the radar, you couldn't be more full of shit.

Kevin Smith needs to do a movie about the week he spent with Prince.

WTF?????

David Bowie himself, worms infested and all, would come up out of his grave if he could and pimp slap your pussy ass for saying that.

1. How many Bowie songs hit #1, or albums reach #1? Everyone on this damn board except your stupid ass could recite 5 Prince songs without thinking. Without Google most would struggle with 2 if you think of David Bowie.
2. I am a Bowie fan but I am not a dumb retarded ass like you who don't know shit about music. A lot of people on here are indifferent to him but they know because everyone except you, have some sort of intelligence, recognizes a musical genius. Speaking of which...
3. Can Bowie play 26 instruments and sing many octaves like Prince? Everyone knows that except your stupid ass, he can and fluently. Also.....
4. Did the great David Bowie wrote music and help careers of a lot of singers and groups....Hell no.

Take your stupid ass back to school, War, you piece of shit.

And Pickle. Props to you for your understanding....and rack you.

LONDON (CNNMoney) - Here's another lesson in the risks of social media marketing.

Cheerios maker General Mills was forced to delete a Twitter tribute to Prince, after the singer's fans slammed the company and called the tweet tasteless.

Prince Rogers Nelson, known simply as Prince, died Thursday. He was found unresponsive in an elevator at his studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was 57 years old and his death came as a shock to his fans.

Cheerios tweeted a purple "Rest in peace" sign with a cheerio in place of the dot above the letter i. It tagged the tweet with #prince.

A storm of angry comments followed immediately, forcing the Minnesota-based company to take the Tweet down.

General Mills said it wanted to "acknowledge the loss of a musical legend in its hometown."

"But we quickly decided that we didn't want the tweet to be misinterpreted, and removed it out of respect for Prince and those mourning," the company said in a statement emailed to CNNMoney.

Apparently not that exact quote. But he was a fan. Here's an appearance of E.C.'s on Desert Island Discs

All Wags really knows about is sporadically working, complaining and priding himself on his own ignorance. He's pretty much a niqqer at this point.
