Grrrrr. I could tolerate a lot of over-estimated wannabe-greats, but not this poor joke of a "musician".

He finally proved that a symbol is not the thing itself, but just a placeholder for something that is so much bigger. A quantum of empty nothingness.

Heck, I could not stand this talent-free, whimpering peacock. As far as I'm concerned - no, he won't be missed at all. He was an offense to any musical artist with talent and skill. A narcissistic, hopelessly overestimated dilletante. Think I never heard a single note by him that his voice was able to hold.

Not missed at all, I'm cold-hearted enough to say.

I gotta say that is pretty cold even for you.

He may have been flamboyant and strange but was a talented singer, song writer, performer and killer guitar player. He sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time, won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility. Not bad for a 'over estimated wannabe'.

Not everybody has the same taste in music. Most people have some compassion and respect for the dead.

R.I.P. Prince.

Oh heck as for myself, I didnt know the guy, I never met him, never listened too his music, nor did I like his act in any form or fashion. The body dies. Don't they all.

Wait I take some of that back, as a guitarist he did pretty in this. Still a drama queen though

Makes two of us ... I heard Purple Rain though does that count.

Let the poor guy rest in peace ... @ not shy skybird

I've never heard any thing like that about someone that just died your sure like to make your point though

I wasn't crazy about the music that he did or his flamboyance. However, You can't argue though that he was incredibly talented, combining funk with Jimi Hendrix and a driving rock sound with soul and R&B. He was particularly innovative in combining all these things.

He was also a gifted producer, working with Jimi Jamm who produced a few Janet Jackson albums. He worked to form the 80's group, " the Bangles " with Suzanna Hoffs and also Sheila E. along with many others.

I remember when there was a tribute to George Harrison of the Beatles at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Iinduction. The all star cast included Prince and keyboard great Steve Winwood as well as the son of George Harrison, Danni, playing rhythm guitar. They played the Iconic song " While my guitar gently weeps " and Prince did the solo. It was incredible. I had no Idea Prince could play guitar but the all star cast knocked it out of the park.

He was a bit of a rebel, fighting with his record label to maintain creative control over his music resulting in his new name " The artist formally known as Prince "




Prince at the 2004 rock and roll hall of fame induction.



We have lost so many great ones like Glenn Frey and such. I hope we don't lose any more.



Rest in Peace.
