I know some of the more golden among us are puzzled about this. This Prince fellow and holy crap what's with all the headlines? He wasn't even cold yet and they're posting a zillion tributes. I don't know how to explain it exactly. A 1980's Sinatra without the balding and mob affiliations perhaps? Prince defined a generation. Maybe more than Michael J. He shied from the press and lived his own life. A few kooky things but nothing horrible.
My son is 22 this year and I am 53. We both said the same thing at the same time. "Damn, I didn't realize how many of his songs I have to put on my IPod". My son put on whole albums. I mean Bowie meant a lot to me but only a pawful of tunes...But Prince? Best buddy has had the hair and fashion tips forever. I guess the best way to explain it to those maybe sixty and over...
When I buy the farm there will be immediate hillbilly family who don't hate me, birth children and hubby, estranged children who think there might be something of value to steal, best buddy and friends...and that's about it except the dawgs n' cats. Like I said, Prince wasn't cold yet and candle light vigils and memorial concerts. He was a special man.
