Nope, but there's this. They're pretty accurate.

Dammit, Prince.

Damn gonna be blasting partyman and batdance all day today in honor of this man.

Yeah I was thinking similar. Even so, would rather not drag that into the thread, just out of respect I suppose.

Don't need 2nd-tier Captain Hindsights suddenly going "Well you see guys, that's why he's dead, right there. Yada yada yada, AIDS is bad, yada. He had it coming."

Let's just take this time to mourn the loss and reflect on his legacy. Save the extrapolation of his life decisions and their impact on his death for another thread.

Have some respect. You wouldn't want people treating the death of a celebrity you liked as if it were another shit stain on the side of the road, now would you?

Common sense empathy lesson you should have learned as a child. Go back and learn it.

Pathetic troll attempt

 

[oreomunsta]

Very sad news. Sign o' the times is one of my favorite songs

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Fuck, i made it my goal to see him live. Why do they go so young, goddamit.

This year is almost enough to make me think something is fundamentally wrong with the universe.

Have some decorum, faceless Internet troll

 

[Get'sMad]

FUCK


NOOOOOOOOO

dude has the greatest discog of all time imo and I'll never get to see him live

 

[bryanee]

2016 has taken both of my favourite musicians. Fuck this year.

RIP Prince, you are a legend.

 

[ScaIeboundGOTY]

I'm being quoted a lot but i'm not seeing any songs being named...

Fuck off

 

[Screaming Meat]

Unnamed superstar with supercharged sexual past has AIDS. Known since 90s, stopped taking medication 2 years ago after coming to believe he had been cured. Now deathly ill with nothing that can be done.

Rumor that a very popular African American celebrity has AIDS

Aw, fuck. That's tragic.

re-posting from the bottom of the page,

1983.

James Brown performing a show, brings up Michael Jackson from the crowd. Michael then tells something to James in his ear.

"Give him a big round of applause because he just INSISTED that I introduce PRINCE!"

...and that's amazing. Lightning does strike twice.

 

[Fletcher]

The way this year is going, Paul McCartney better watch out.

 

[Ushojax]

I can only assume his debauchery caught up with him in the end. Wealthy 57 year olds shouldn't be dying of flu.

What a terrible year this has been for the world of music.

 

[- J - D -]

Well, this sucks. All of it.

 

[Instro]

The aids plus religious angle wouldn't surprise me. The dude was a big JW, and he's had the flu for like a month. IIRC he had announced he was writing a memoir a few months ago too. He probably knew it was coming.

 

[Measley]

Goddamnit.....

I'm seriously upset right now. Prince's music was basically the soundtrack of my childhood.

 

[KonradLaw]

Oh fuck you 2016!

Don't shitpost

 

[Sadist]

I hate 2016

RIP Prince

 

[Unison]

There's probably a generation gap, but he was big in the '80s and early '90s.

It's worth checking out some old stuff.

 

[WordsintheWater]

RIP, he was a legend.

 

[TheOGB]

It's a rainy day in St. Paul and the people coming into the store I work at are all fucking bummed out.

Meanwhile I spent the first 15 minutes trying not to cry at my station.

This fucking blows, man. Rest in peace 😢

 

[Tempy]

 

[The Lamonster]

ughhhhh RIP

 

[ColdPizza]

has there been a year comparable in the amount and talent involved in deaths in the music industry? 2016 has been brutal.

 

[dakun]

Is this even a big deal? Who even knows any prince songs besides purple rain?

the fact that you're questioning his importance to the music industry and the world is laughable.
But regardless i'll agree to one thing. Prince is not as known as he should be within the new generation of kids. And that's partly his fault.

 

[bryanee]

I'm being quoted a lot but i'm not seeing any songs being named...

I can name 20 off the top of my head but I'm not going to humour you. Just fuck off.

 

[U2NUMB]

As someone who is nearing 40 and have spent 99% of my life in the twin cities... this one hurts really really bad.

RIP Prince

I've had the flu once in my life and it's no joke. Young and healthy people do occasionally die from it.

 

[Apdiddy]

This hit me as about hard as when Michael Jackson and David Bowie died.

Still watch Purple Rain every time I see its on VH1.

You're on the Internet. Go find that shit on your own. Nobody is here to prove to you that Prince dying is a big deal. Crawl out of your own ass.

 

[Jane Mansfield]

RIP

WTF,2016?!
