Electric word, Life, it means forever, that's a mighty long time but I'm here to tell you there's something else...
The after world.
RIP Prince. I hope you're in a world of never ending happiness where you can always see the sun, day or night

Mature growth?
So sad...this musical genius was too young and same for Bowie.
Without Prince and David Bowie we're back to cookie cutter
music. That is sad...and boring.

Found out the tragic news when I saw this strange google logo.
Purple google with purple rain on it. Still didn't ring a bell until I clicked on it.
How clever!
Didn't grow up with his music but heard a lot about him & his music.
Wonder if it's some drug overdose issues again like Whitney Houston case?
57 is way too early to leave this world!

Supposedly , he came down with an illness last month and cancelled all his shows
I feel bad that we lost such a talent, I feel worse that a young engineer in my office said he did not know his music!

Somebody would have to be shut off to the world to not know who prince is

Well, I'm sure many younger people have never even heard of him.
My parents don't know who he was-
"prince who?" prince charles died (didn't like him for divorcing diana)? prince william (such a shame, he just had another baby)? Which country was he ruling?"
sigh...

Prince was very prolific in pop music till his death and was very active on social media..I would say young people today (millenials) are very aware of him (we are talking about a generation whose connection to the internet is beyond imagination)..he also played the 2007 superbowl, which is considered one of the best and most top rated performances in the SB (which is also the most watched program every year). He was timeless among anyone coming of age after 1980

Prince also did spots on kids shows
One of my coworkers who just turned 24 said he'd watched 'purple rain' like 24 times

I was 18 when it came out (didnt really care about Prince back then). My sister, who was 16, wanted to see it. My parents made me go with her because you had to be at least 17 or with someone who was an adult to see it. When we got there I realized i had forgotten my ID..my sister was so pissed..and I chuckled. A year later I saw the movie and was an instant Prince fan. Seen it about ten times since.
