Anyone saying Prince was overrated is A) an idiot and B) just as attention whoring as the people pretending to be heartbroken that weren't fans.  Feel free not to like him but you would have to choose to ignore his influence on modern music to deny it.

He was the best live act I ever saw.  To me, his show felt like a party that you were invited to rather than a concert.

My coworker said Eric Johnson is his Uncle. I have no clue who that is, but apparently he's a "famous musician" and said Prince found him. He talked to Erik yesterday and Prince was suffering from a really bad flu. Since prince was a jehovah witness, he didn't take medicine, because they're against it. Over time, he pretty much died from the flu.  :frown: Also said, with all the ppl he's helped in the music biz, he accounts for over 1000 Grammy's.

Sorry wacky but nearly, if not all of the things that aren't opinion in this post aren't true. Jehovah's Witnesses aren't forbidden from taking medicine. It's absolutely true that Prince wrote for other artists but for the most part those artists are far away from the Grammy's.

I had a few Eric Johnson CDs in the 90s, and I liked the 97 G3 live tour album he was on. He was in that 90s progressive rock culture that Dream Theater and Steve Vai and Joe Satriani popularized to nerdy music fans. It does not surprise me WC doesn't know him, he was kind of a fringe act.


Fun fact for WC08, Eric Johnson had a song called "Zap"  :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6FeSwgeqsQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6FeSwgeqsQ)

I was just at the doctor and in the waiting area I sat next to a very nice older gentleman (much older then I am) and he was pretty darn upset about Prince's passing as he watched the latest news reports on the TV.   He knew a crap ton about Prince, and he said he's hoping that huge unreleased catalog makes it's way to the public domain.   He was adorable yet kind of sad very  :love: :cry: :love: :cry:

The word is that Prince has thousands of unreleased tracks and music videos.  I know Kevin Smith mentioned he shot a documentary for Prince back in the day that never came out, which makes me think there might be thousands of hours of documentary style footage.  I am hoping all of this stuff falls into the right people's hands to make the most of it.

My wife's grandfather is an Elder, and he has survived cancer four or five times.  He's had radiation so much they refuse to give it to him any longer.

Her grandmother died of cancer a few years back, and she had chemo, radiation, etc.

I will say that they were very much into home remedies that they pulled from the Bible for basic stuff.  She always told me to rub olive oil on myself like the guy in My Big Fat Greek Wedding told people to put Windex on stuff.

I don't know if Kevin Smith's documentary counts, but I thought I read there were two full-length feature films in the vault as well.

It's going to be nuts to see the mythology of this vault evolve over time.  If folks ever get to crack into it, I hope it lives up to the hype.

I guess Prince told someone there's a lot of stuff in there that's better than what he gave to the record companies, and there is enough material to release over 100 LP's.

His sister just said there was no will that she knew about so it looks like the siblings will divide the estate in the courts.  Hard to believe that everything in the vault won't be sold off to the highest bidder in this scenario.

I am surprised that Prince didn't have a will if only to outline his wishes for all of this stuff.

I will say that they were very much into home remedies that they pulled from the Bible for basic stuff.  She always told me to rub olive oil on myself like the guy in My Big Fat Greek Wedding told people to put Windex on stuff.

The mormon-ish girl on real world clark county has been doing this.  I thought it was related to her being a dumb southerner, not religion.

Why not both

ms tobias' dad is an elder and they're not really into that stuff, but that may be more related to her mom and sister both being nurses than anything else

She said on the first episode that the olive oil gives her a better tan. Also I went to the GoldSpike when I went to Vegas last month, no casino :surprised:

I didn't deep-dive fact check her on it.  I just smiled and nodded.  She was a nice lady, and I was very fond of her.  In fact, we gave our son her husband's name as a middle name because he's such a solid dude.

Most JW's that I've met are not anywhere near their stereotype.  I've even been to a service of theirs.  It's interesting to see as a non-believer, but after going to services for multiple denominations, and reading the book of Mormon in a hotel room while I was bored, they were probably the most grounded and consistent group of Christians I've met.  I can easily see how Prince reconciled who he was with their style.

The more I think about it, I want Netflix to do a 10 episode Prince docu-series with all that footage

the producer who told kevin smith that his documentary would never see the light of day also told him that there were 50 unreleased prince videos. like professionally done and unreleased, just sitting in a vault. that was ten years ago.


That sounds about right. When I lived in Minneapolis I knew a guy who toured with Prince for a little while and apparently they recorded tons and tons of stuff and Prince would feel great about it but then an hour later would demand that it all be scrapped or vaulted or whatever. Remember him telling me they recorded a bunch of live footage in Japan and the videographers knew Prince would tell them to destroy it later that night so they high-tailed it out of Japan with the tapes right after the show :lol:

If you have this weird AXS channel, watch or DVR this documentary on Tuesday.  I DVR'd it when it first aired a few weeks back and am halfway through it.  Pretty good.

There's been a marathon of heavy metal festivals this weekend.  Lots of slipknot types in heavy masks of facepaint in bright sunlight afternoons.

Why wasn't Prince at the 1985 We Are The World mega song live VHS?

I've read a couple of articles over the years that said Prince thought he was TCFS.  Lionel Richie was basically begging him to do the song and Prince still turned it down.

I finished watching this last night and no longer think it's pretty good.  The subject matter's really interesting but the documentary itself is way too long and has too many holes capable of being blown open in it.

To his credit, Prince was TCFS.
