In my day, it was known as a “pimp walk”.

I insulted him to his face at a concert. Really small venue event for charity. You were never more than three people away from the stage. The show started two hours late and after standing outside in stilettos waiting to get in the venue, I was not in the mood. I was standing dead center in front of the stage, being…

MOTHER FUCKER I have held it together until now. Your post is simple yet profound and beautiful, and sums up what I loved so much about him. He made everything his. BRB gotta go cry all my mascara off.

I was privileged to have seen him live, at Coachella in 2008. He brought out The Time and Sheila E and I thought I had entered nirvana. Then he launched into Radiohead’s “Creep” and I just stood there, mouth wide open, doing that laugh/cry thing you get to do only a few times in your life. If the world had ended at…

I can’t function today. I was like 9...I was in love with him.

NYE 1999 belonged to him.

I remember seeing the video for “Cream” on VH1 as a kid and being *scandaliiiiiiiiiiized* but it is still my absolute favorite Prince song. And I can’t hear “Kiss” w/o picturing Julia Roberts in the tub with a Walkman.

I was listening to the NPR interviews honoring him, and the hosts were openly crying on the air, forgetting to turn their mikes off during song clips. I was driving down the road with tears and snot running down my face. This one really hurts as a child of the 1980's. He was my favorite musician as a kid. As soon as…

Way ahead of you! DO IT.

The Batman soundtrack was amaaaaaaaaaazing.

As a small girl growing up in the South in a very, very religious southern baptist home, Prince really did change my life. I didn’t know how to categorize him and I loved it. I didn’t understand the intensity of the things he sang about, but I needed to learn and experience them immediately. He gave me hope that I…

Just finished up dancing my ass off to the whole “The Very Best of Prince” record. My kids left a wide berth (though my youngest let me sway him around the room a bit during “Purple Rain”) until the end and they all kinda huddled around and took some seriously sweaty hugs (then the oldest poured me a glass of rose).

I used to think I didn’t really like Prince. Then one day I realized that loved Prince and I was just being a phony.

I was born in mid 80s and grew up outside of the PurpleRain era but I loved Prince, I love Prince, everything Prince. It’s a sad sad day for me. I somehow felt Prince was too magical, too musical, too surreal to be mortal, yet he is in this one instance. I guessI forgot that “Life is just a party and parties aren’t…

This is a sad, sad day for music and our culture. I am devastated, which is weird because I obviously didn’t know him. But, I did get to dance onstage with him at a show at Madison Square Garden once. He even took me by the hand and walked me to the front of the stage before handing me the mike to sing a line from…

2016 IS A HORRIBLE YEAR AND SHOULD FEEL BAD BECAUSE FUCK THIS SHIT. Bowie, Alan Rickman, Merle Haggard. FUCK THIS YEAR SO HARD.

AND EXPLAIN ITSELF. I’M NOT MAD. JUST DISAPPOINTED. AND MAD.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…

I NEED 2016 TO SIT THE FUCK DOWN

If it is Prince, shouldn’t we all be considered next of kin? WHY WON’T THEY TELL US?
