I think this was a quiet suicide.
The guy ran out of things to do with his money and was close to hitting 60. To your average Joe that's not a big deal but could you imagine the stories this guy could tell? The pussy, drugs, travel, vacations, groupies, being able to buy anything you want and any time. Think he just got bored and didn't want to age. Imagine his ego and father time coming in walking all over it with no recourse and the effect it had on a guy named "Prince". |

I wish he would have wrote an auto-biography before he checked out.

Calling them weak because they couldn't snap their fingers and "get over it" is pretty short-sighted.

Bullshit. Junkies and other addicts are among the strongest-willed people I know. They take enormous risks. They do shit that normal people wouldn't think of doing just to support their addictions.
****ing junkies like Prince are powerless over their addictions? Unquestionably. ****ing junkies like Prince are weak? Not at all. You can't be weak and keep an addiction going for any interesting amount of time.

FTR - I didn't post mine to necessarily start some listening party [though it's fine if everyone decides to]. But that particular track had been uncovered in the vault just recently and released online only today. Plus, it carries footage of P&tR before they even officially formed a band.

Edit your last post, Easy. You broke the thread.

Ah yes, thanks to Mr Sauto this thread is back on track
Its a long one, but just listen to this thing descend into some kind of hazy, beautiful orgy between humans and electronic instruments... Prince was sooo ahead of his time |
