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.

They are dropping like flies

This one only 57 years old. That ain't old.

De mortuis nihil nisi bonum

I never knew him, but I can still respect and be saddened by his passing.

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.
