R.I.P. Prince

April 22nd 2016 
The world mourns the sudden loss of his Purpleness, Prince Rogers Nelson aka Prince.  He died suddenly at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota.   He left a legacy of controversy and odd behavior but his music will always comes first. 
He had the soundtrack of the 1980s with "Purple Rain" and his concerts were things of legend.  His guitar playing was always overshadowed by his vocals but he could hold his own with the guitar gods.
May he Rest in Peace and we will always laugh in the purple rain.
