I like Prince's music overall, but the tributes are a little over the top. I was just out in the car, and The Groove on SiriusXM was playing nothing but Prince music.

I played 1999 in class today, and nobody knew who it was. A few kids asked because they liked it, so I guess there is some hope for the future.

were any of your students born yet in 99?

The rumor floating around Hollywood is that he had AIDS.

Been seeing that lately. Has anyone published anything in reference to that that's a legit source, or just gossip sites?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

It was on the cover of the NE, it must be true.

until TMZ confirms it, i don't believe anything about anyone anymore.

I remember when I was 3 years old and MTV played When Doves Cry a lot.  Thanks for the 80s childhood memories with your hit 80s songs and flat out great songs.

RIP PRN.

You know there's a lot of things in life I'm grateful for, but I would say one of the biggest ones is my parents instilling in me for sticking to my guns, and not falling into peer pressure and getting into drugs. Or trying them once.

There was a lot of cocaine, meth, heroin, all offered to me in my 17-25 year old years. Some of them were extremely hot chicks that I probably would have been able to sleep with but for some reason the use of drugs always turned me off. I didn't mind being around people that did it, but holy hell am I glad I didn't even try.

I have seen a lot of friends deal with the repercussions of getting involved in drugs, there's long term consequences with prolonged use. I even lost one to suicide.

You only get one shot in life, I can't even imagine becoming a slave to this stuff.

Not only is this getting ugly.  It's pretty sad.

Would-be 'heirs' to Prince's millions are multiplying

Quote

Two more previously unknown children, one of whom claims to be his adopted son to whom he left $7 million. The other, a Connecticut woman who identifies herself as Taz Laeni Walker, says she was born in St. Paul and adopted by a family friendly with Prince. Walker is 43; Prince was 57 when he died.

"A friend of my (adoptive) father told me...my mother had multiple sexual partners and Prince's name was mentioned," she says in her document "I inferred from these conversations that my mother had sex with Prince. I believe that I may be the daughter of Prince."

 

What a stud Prince is.  Did the deed when he was 13 or 14.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Agreed. He should have called himself king instead of prince.

I don't think he was all that great, and I grew up in his era.

Don't expect kids today to like what you liked growing up.

Maury Povich should have all the Prince heir wannabes gather for one massive 2 hour special as he reads out the DNA results.
