The day the music died.

RIP Merle Haggard...one of the greatest IMO...

Guess we don't have anyone around that liked Prince since no one has posted on his passing yet. I did not care for him or his music either but many do/did. Like him or not, he was successful and he did his own thing, I will give him that and therefore add his name to those we have lost this year.

Prince was a one off but man he could sing, and for a guy who didn't get serious with a guitar till 05, he became a master. Check out this rendition of "while my guitar genly weeps" purpsedly played off chord. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...U7jPitK-5PfpBFHUaxO6cw&bvm=bv.119745492,d.bGs

Wow! Really impressive! I had no idea.

What a lot of folks didn't know about Prince is that on many of his albums he played ALL of the instruments. All of them.

If you can ever get a chance to watch him live on SNL, season 31, episode 12, Feb 4, 2006 I believe, premiering his song Fury, watch it. He's playing a little guitar....

PRINCE - FURY (SNL LIVE 26)

Please, aren't we hearing enough about this guy on tv??? I really don't want to read about him on a tractor forum. I was never a fan of his although I respect others that were. I'm just tired of this media hoopla...he wasn't God.

If the medical examiner releases the cause of death, IMO we will see there is one less junkie in the world.

It's sort of what this thread is all about... you might want to unsubscribe to this one.

Afraid so.

I loved his music.

He got hooked on pain killers and OD'd. Hate it that the media plays him up to our young listeners.

The King (Michael), the Queen (Whitney) and now the Prince (Prince) all died of drug overdose. Then we wonder why our society idolizes drugs so much??
