I am so bummed Prince died. I grew up with him. I even remember his oldest videos before he hit it big. I knew he would be infamous. So talented. Great singer. Could play any instrument. I saw purple rain in the theater. I am stunned. So many dying, like david Bowie, glen frey. Its just so sad. I may have to order some of his music. Heaven is purple today. We lost a legend.

Listen while you can ... I suspect the hunters will have this down soon enough. You'll need headphones for best sound.

He was amazing. Wrote most his songs. Played 27 instruments! We lost a true master of the art of music.

It's too pop for me. I appreciate he was an unusual man, and seemed to have a big impact on many people. But his songs belong to that wallpaper style that came in somewhere in 90s, to which I never could relate. I always found it curious how he was highly impressed by Hendrix and Michael Jackson, but in the end, he seems much more Jackson than Hendrix. He was far too stylised to resemble Hendrix. Nonetheless, he played a good guitar. Would be interesting if anyone knows of a clip of him playing guitar as an instrumental piece, instead of the 'lead brake' thing.

Joe Bonamassa - Sloe gin @ Royal Albert Hall

In Fact, Joe Bonamassa might very well be the greatest unknown world artist in rock'n roll and guitar equilibrism right now.

It seems that Prince did a cover of a Joni Mitchell song.
I've got a question in: did Prince play the piano on the cut too? He probably did, just want to know. Anyway, it's lovely.

Prince performing "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell.

Ah, it's probably a "Bonus Track" from an Amazon.com version of this album: River: The Joni Letters

Which means that that is Herbie Hancock playing piano - and it's probably HH's arrangement.

It's still lovely~

Wrong again. I got it from someone in the know that Prince is playing keyboard, and performed the song in his "Piano and Microphone Tour."

First time I've heard that song.

So where have you been? In the garage fixing your 40 year old Indian ... :-)

Well, what Prince represented, just as Bowie, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Alexander Bard (Army of Lovers), and many more great artists, is that people with bisexual and/or homosexual simply has a different brain setup (that might shine through in extraordinary creativity). When we discussed this kind of preferences with Taimi from Estonia, I am sure that someone mentioned that bi- and homosexual persons had such a different setup, and that such persons was of another quality, in that positive sense.

This androgynity is seen as trans boundary, and so is their music, like Bowie and Prince.

Not to forget, brain research has shown that homosexual men and women activate the same part of the brain as heterosexual men and women, when being exposed to photos of attractive people.

Hetero men trigger on beautiful women, and so do the lesbian women.
hetero women trigger on beautiful men, and so do the homosexual men.

"A landmark study by Savic and Lindström indicates that there are cerebral differences in homosexual and heterosexual individuals. There are differences in brain anatomy, activities, and neurological connections. Brain scan images of the subjects who participated in this study show that the brains of homosexual individuals exhibit similar structure and functionality as that of heterosexual individuals of the opposite gender."

This quote above refers to the following article, the quote is not from the following article below
"PET and MRI show differences in cerebral asymmetry and functional connectivity between homo- and heterosexual subjects"
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
 vol. 105 no. 27  Ivanka Savic,  9403–9408, doi: 10.1073/pnas.0801566105

http://www.pnas.org/content/105/27/9403.short

From their abstract:
The present study shows sex-atypical cerebral asymmetry and functional connections in homosexual subjects. The results cannot be primarily ascribed to learned effects, and they suggest a linkage to neurobiological entities."

Do we really know that he was gay, though? Or even bi?

He took a very conservative stance on the issue in the last 10 years:

Pretty sure he was straight, and liked to keep em guessing.

But here's a great story about Prince, as told by Eddie Murphy's brother, Charlie Murphy. (Prince is played by Dave Chappelle.) 
https://youtu.be/mXRjaLR2L3o

This was a true story, it seems. Prince played b-ball well - unexpected as he was 5'2". And he did serve them pancakes thereafter. :)

Not only did Prince not mind this story-telling featured on the Dave Chapelle Show, but he used a still shot from it as the cover of one of his last albums:
