First good connection I got with him was When Doves Cry. We're in the mid 80s and Michael Jackson is ruling the world. But WDC has a very catchy first 15 seconds. My friends tell me they like Purple Rain. I don't really. Probably way too busy listening to MJ and learning his moves. Of course I like Kiss. And learn the refrain from the Sunday papers. His clips are nice but the overall visual experience is quite peculiar. Like with Bowie. And Boy George.
I had never listened to any interviews of him. Until yesterday. Maybe because he didn't give that many. So it was a real treat to find out he's very soft-spoken and at peace with himself.
So how did he die? From exhaustion and flue?
ReplyDeleteIncreasingly sure about painkiller abuse. But the root cause of this is yet to be determined...
ReplyDeleteNow sure about opioid overdose.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those who are not yet aware of the potency of that synthetic opioid (yes, you Anil G.), check this out. And the comments are also eye-opening - the commoners are aware of the influence of Big Pharma on how one country can become the consumer of 80% of the world's opioid production...
ReplyDeleteSome get honoured by an animal, but Prince gets the classiest way possible: his signature colour!
ReplyDeleteA real composer like Prince, those of nowadays can't compare!
