RIP Prince

Reports are emerging that he passed away today. If any of us ever had a true shot at being a real-life immortal, it was him. I never thought that man was capable of dying.

A truly talented musician. And, 57 is way too young.

Sad day. Had the opportunity to see him while I was in high school. It was a great show.

Sad day indeed.

Best SB halftime show ever!

The NFL won't let their videos be embedded, but go to youtube and watch this.

It seems like all the great musicians are disappearing with no one to replace them.

Rest in Peace Prince

This just bites. I grew up on Van Halen, Ozzy, Judas Priest, all that...but when Purple Rain came out...I listened to it every day,....then, everyone else in the neighborhood listened to it every day... Prince Transcended. His music changed me and changed my life.

Damn....some of my favorite entertainers have left the building the last couple years. It's just crazy.

R.I.P. Prince....music legend and icon.

It's amazing on how much of a talent he really was. Sad to see him go, but his legend will for sure live on forever. Along with MJ!

He gets little credit as a guitar god, but he is actually right up there with guys like Hendrix and Van Halen.
