Prince .. R i P

You can die from the flu as the flu has complications like fluid in the lungs. One woman here told me that someone she knew died from the flu and she was very young. Apr 22 16 10:36 am Link Yeah I don't think that's an insane theory at all....I imagine there are many in the entertaiment industry who keep such a diagnosis under cover. Not that we know this is true but just the same ....he did seem like a very very sexual guy, and like Charlie Sheen one never knows which way the pendulum swings. Apr 22 16 10:46 am Link RIP Prince I greatly respected his talent. His "style" or the genre he played in drifted across so many areas of music. I was a fan at times, and at other times he just didnt "reach" me. But regardless I always respected his talent. Music has indeed lost a great artist. I wish it wasnt part of human nature to speculate about what caused his death. I wish we could just wait for the facts. But, I guess the media lives and dies by spawning countless theories... I dunno, maybe it is a part of how we come to terms with the loss... on a lighter note  : Shot By Adam wrote: this nearly caused me to spray my coffee all over the monitor... LOL Apr 22 16 10:49 am Link I hate rumors after every celebrity death. Prince was born a sickly child. Although he wanted to play basketball, he was small in stature and that is why he took to music. It's known among those close to Prince that he had Epilepsy. He also had a heart murmur which can mean other complications. So he could have died from a lot of things. It doesn't matter, the fact that he is dead. I had a young (in her late 20's) friend who was a beautiful. healthy professional dancer with Epilepsy. I was shocked when she died suddenly. People can die suddenly from heart failure. Congestive heart failure feels a lot like the flu. I know because I nearly died from it. http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/p … interview/ RIP The Purple One Apr 22 16 11:08 am Link Tony From Syracuse wrote: Charlie Sheen? What do you mean? He was running around with dozens of prostitutes, and slamming drugs. A man can get HIV from a female partner, and also from IV drug use. Especially if he shared needles.

I honestly think the Jehovah's Witness religion is like AA for alcoholics, full of hypocrisy. Plus, any religion that doesn't believe in medication that you need, or blood for a hip replacement... um, yeah. Pfff Everyone is entitled to change their mind but to COMPLETELY change your philosophy, your entire basis of what you believe in is very odd to me. What do you stand for? Today it's one thing, tomorrow it's the next. -------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK: A G-rated Prince? It may be hard to believe, but the singer who once provoked shock waves with his X-rated lyrics has sworn off cursing and is preaching about the importance of virtue in the May edition of Gotham magazine. Prince, who is now a Jehovah's Witness, said that "when you use those (curse) words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used before you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?" http://www.adherents.com/people/pp/Prince.html The story of his conversion broke in typically surreal fashion last October, when a newspaper in his hometown reported how a married couple had answered their door to find Prince proffering a copy of the Watchtower. Though they were orthodox Jews, and it was Yom Kippur, they were also Prince fans. They welcomed him into the house where, with his friend Larry Graham, erstwhile member of Sly & the Family Stone, one of Prince's core influences, he spread the word of Jehovah for 20 minutes before moving on to the next house. I would listen to whatever dribble he was talking about if Prince came to my door. Apr 22 16 11:56 am Link Patrick Walberg wrote: OR UNPROTECTED SEX. Apr 22 16 11:57 am Link It's harder for me to imagine Prince being 57 than being dead. Man, getting old sucks! RIP, bro.

Apr 22 16 12:51 pm Link Sheriff says no signs of trauma, no evidence of suicide. Autopsy concluded at 1PM CST. Cause of death still unknown. Apr 22 16 02:08 pm Link Patrick Walberg wrote: Prince kicked ass in basketball. Apr 22 16 02:52 pm Link Excellent review of one of Prince's "lost" artifacts: the 1987 film Sign O' the Times. I still have my ancient VHS copy... the live performance sequences are phenomenally good. It's a real shame that it's almost entirely unavailable in any format these days. Apr 22 16 02:59 pm Link

Reason: off-topic Apr 22 16 03:49 pm Link r.i.p. i was never a really big fan, but you couldn't live through the '80s without hearing his music. it was ubiquitous. i happened to be at one of his least happy moments, as far as performances go. he was one of the opening acts for the stones at the la coliseum, in like (i think it was ) '81. he only made it through like six tunes before he huffed off the stage. plenty of shoes and other objects were being tossed at him. at the time, i was like "sheesh, i haven't seen anything like this since the mummers had m80s tossed at them". that was at a concert at the old jfk stadium in philadelphia, in the mid '70s. people always seemed to bring that concert up from time to time, and i could say, "yep, i was there." anyway, r.i.p. even a non-fan can appreciate that he had talent.

But failed to mention exactly what you just wrote. Elderly, the very young, ill people with poor immune systems. Not saying there aren't any freak deaths from the flu. But the drug story makes all the sense in the world. Shame no matter what. He was truly a one of a kind and one of the best damn guitarists/performers, producers, song writers etc etc in my lifetime. Apr 22 16 05:58 pm Link what I wonder is even if it was aids, I'm not sure they would necessarily announce it. maybe at the behest of loved ones they might just list his cause of death as the main symptom....not the overall condition. Apr 22 16 06:18 pm Link Patrick Walberg wrote: I'm willing to bet he got it from sharing needles or takin a jab or two to his ass. The risk is much lower for the transmission of HIV in heterosexual vaginal sex encounters. Lower slightly for a man to get it from a woman than a woman to get it from a man. .04% vs .08% Apr 22 16 06:38 pm Link Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM)a represent approximately 2% of the United States population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/  Abbreviations: MSM, men who have sex with men; IDU, injection drug user.

I mean why ask anything if its all an even playing field. Apr 22 16 07:24 pm Link A great little tribute from Chevrolet..

I am always amazed when artists write amazing songs and just hand them off without any fanfare to others. writing a great catchy song has to be very difficult....yet there are some people like prince who are so talented...rather than covet them for himself...he thinks....well there will be more...and just gives them away.
