Legendary rockstar Prince has passed away

What I love most about that clip is all the other musicians just going about their business, maybe looking a bit awkward and wondering how many more times they need to repeat the chorus, while Dhani Harrison has this HOLY FUCK I’M JAMMING WITH FUCKING PRINCE look on his face the whole time.

“And he’s shredding Eric Clapton’s solo on my dad’s song!” Dhani continues to think…

listening to my singles, the original came up, but I’d forgotten that Cyndi did it, too. Damn well.

she hits an astounding note in there.

Holy wows. I had never seen that - it’s amazing! Prince giving what I’m sure he felt was a fitting tribute. And shrededdling that Madcat.

Not racist, just stupid and horribly out of touch.

That really depends upon who inherits his estate, and if he left any stipulations in his will regarding the unreleased music & media in his vaults.

My thoughts are he’ll want the stuff out, but in some kind of orderly fashion. We know there’s a lot in there, and he will have watched things happening like “Iron Lion Zion” and you’re right, have some kind of guard against abuse.

This is terrible news. He was such a magnificent artist. He wasn’t anywhere near done sharing his music with the world…

What a dick.

It’s funny, I watched that video last year (long, but worth it) and still like Prince anyway. Can’t walk through the kids section at Nordstrom without cracking up though.

Jeez - I’d love to start a new thread on that particular topic. Is it really? Prolly just showing my old white man privelege here, but I don’t think it’s that he got the two black gentleman confused, but rather that he’s an old, un-hip man.

Tell me how I’m wrong (srsly.)

Yes. They were very, very good. I think they were just as good as anything he ever made. He was devoted to quality, his entire life.
