Its ok, he lived a life anyone would be proud of. He left too early but he also left us a lot.

I don’t even want to know. I’m just so damn glad to have been around to watch his ascent.

the only answer i want is how to bring him back.

Preemptive answer for those who watched the press conference: no, we don’t all sound like that.

I appreciate the tone taken by the Sheriff. It will be tragic if he over-medicated due to uncontrolled pain. And what may be - again.

“In life, he was a very private person. We’re going to continue to respect his privacy and his dignity in hope that you do as well.”

I know there are people who want Answers. I don’t think I do. But I’ve also always wondered why the public is entitled to this information at all.

Maybe because of that last minute text, he had to borrow William’s pants. His pants usually fit much better. Not that I’ve been studying Harry’s pants on the reg.

i for real owe my life to the anonymous internet person that i don’t remember who said the immortal words:

Crazily enough, I just looked him up, and Carter Glass is apparently the same Glass of the Glass-Steagall Act, which has gotten so much discussion lately.

this is great. felons losing voting rights is one of the most obvious examples of systematic racism in the US

Not to take away from his feminism but I’ve always found it funny how straight men approached Prince. Hilton Als, for Harpers, did a write up about Prince that I think everyone should read (link will be below quotation).

I’ve never felt so in tune with the character Leslie Knope than when she met Michelle Obama and then Joe Biden. I think I’d either cry or go into a catatonic state of shock a la troy

I have a friend who is both an NCIS fan and an Obama fan who will get a kick out of this.

FUCK. I would have looooved to read a book that he collaborated on. I’ve been re-watching old interviews and he just had so much sass and intelligence. I love the way it bubbled under his quit demeanor; like if you got him alone with his guard down he would have you cracking up and in awe.

Really, first ever? A year after Purple Rain and three years after 1999?

Nice try, The Devil!

Absolutely! I need to wake up and this shit not be true...

i sobbed in the car driving home from work listening to purple rain. i cried at my desk before that. it’s rough. it’s hard to process.

yes, definitely. maybe my surprise is more rooted in not wanting him to have been struggling and not wanting to think of him as being in any pain.
