Re: Prince Dead ???

saw him in the 80s...great show....I think his best song is the one he wrote for Sinead OConnor which she took to platinum
 
The madness doesn't start until about 3:25


Amazing. Love the guitar toss at the end. Underrated as a guitarist, IMO.

A musician quoted in one of the death related interviews said, "Prince would take your instrument from you and play it better than you could".

In another age he would have been Mozart or Beethoven...if they had his chops.

May have to show Purple Rain this summer at the beach...

RIP.

Two related thoughts:

1). I saw him live in the early 90s and an some point in the he he traded instruments with every other musician on stage and blew them all away! The best bass playing we heard all night was from Prince. Same with the keyboards. Same with the drums. He may have even played sax but my memory is a little fuzzy on that one.

2). I saw this on Twitter and it reminded me of the quote above. "Prince will steal your girl, then steal your girl's clothes, then steal someone else's girl in your girl's clothes"
