I Love Prince

Prince was such a big part of my teenage life, when I was in high school, every school dance his music was like a staple and you couldn't go anywhere without hearing his music, it is such tragic loss of such a great, I took my 5 year old to lunch on the day he passed, before we left I turned off the computer and when we got in the car the radio station was playing his 5 biggest songs over and over, the station doesn't have a DJ, when we got back in the car after we ate, the same songs still playing and I knew something was wrong, when we got home I turned on the computer and saw the terrible news that he was gone and I couldn't believe it, I felt numb and thought this can't be happening, then I turned on the big 80's on Sirius and they were having a tribute to him, still doesn't feel real he is gone.

Coolman- I don't know if you have ever heard of a little band called the Grateful Dead but when Jerry Garcia died, people mourned his loss. I mean many tears from many people. When he died, it's almost as if a piece of their past died as well.

The same goes for the death of Prince. His music was a staple to many of us in the 80's. Listening to his music was either on vinyl or a cassette tape for us. I played Purple Rain until the tape broke and I had to buy a new one. Something the kids of this generation will never experience. The nostalia is real with the passing of this man. He made relateable music. A time when a song called " Darling Nikki" was banned but it was a man, an artist pushing boundaries to have his art heard.
