Prince Dead at 57

[mudwhistle]

This strange flu has been going around.

I caught it after Christmas and my wife had it last week.

Oh no! I always liked Prince.

Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain

This is a much better video of Purple Rain. Such a beautiful and sad song.

Doves Cry was my fav song.

Another great one by Prince. You can find his videos if you search for them. They just aren't on Youtube.

When Doves Cry - Prince - SAPO Vídeos

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

I wonder why Prince died at home? Doesn't anyone think it odd that he was not taken to the hospital a few days ago if he was that sick? Of course, if he was still a JW, that would explain it. If that's the case, then indeed he was either suicidal or not very bright.

He was rushed to the hospital last week.

If he had the flu, it could quickly turn deadly. MrG had it, and it turned into Sepsis and Pneumonia. He almost died right there in the ER waiting room. There were frantically working on him and got him stabilized but it was touch and go while doing it. If Prince was sick last week, that means it probably turned into the same thing. Sepsis is nothing to shrug off. The heart can't take poisoned blood. Being a JW, they can't or won't take blood from another person.

Whatever the case may be....he didn't make it.

Eh...he was 5'2'' and wouldn't let YouTube play his music for free....supposedly wore his hips out dancing in high heel boots and often looked like a woman. The sadness just doesn't register with me.

 

[Gracie]

Then perhaps you should not invade his wake here at usmb.

Oops...this is a wake? I had no idea.

I saw the movie Purple Rain when I was just a little kid. I loved that movie and the soundtrack.

Even aristocrats die eventually. RIP.

Now, if only Queen Elizabeth would take note and let her son be what he was supposed to be.

What's he supposed to be?

Dead. The Queen has vowed to outlive Charles. If Charles would abdicate in favor of William, the Queen would be gone by the week end.

Prince dressed a bit strange, but he was certainly a talented and accomplished artist.
