Location: Bastrop, Texas | He stayed true to his Minnesota roots. The guy was an amazing talent and I really liked his music. I saw him in concert in Fargo in 1997 and we had front row seats. He was an amazing dancer, every bit as good as Micheal Jackson, and he played practically every instrument. When you see him that close during a performance, you get an idea just how people like him pour so much into their work. You have to be incredibly fit as well as talented. Here's one of his songs that always got me pumped up:
RIP Prince.

Have you seen are even heard of a movie called Purple Rain, it's really a lame movie but Prince stared in it, I think it was made in the late 80 early 90's.  |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Never cared for him but I respected how he stayed true to his roots.
A spokeswoman for him was on FOX and I found it pretty creepy as instead of being emotionally distraught it was like a celebration of sorts. Maybe it's her way of handling grief. Who knows but it was bizarre.
RIP Prince..

Location: Southwest Minnesota | I will miss his music...I have a lot of (dating myself here) great memories cruising the strip listening to the sound track from the movie Purple Rain. I saw the movie twice in theaters and inumerable times at home. Pretty sure I own the DVD. He was cocky, but had a right to be. There will never be another musician like him. At least not for me. RIP Prince Rogers Nelson... |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | He was a true artist in every sense of the word. A master of his craft.
Sing, dance, instruments, one heck of a performer...
Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Raspberry Beret, U got the Look and soooooooo many more...
Most of all he stayed true to himself, he was who he was and refused to fit into a mold or change to meet someone elses standards or ideals. Marched to his own drumbeat. He also bought up all of his music rights. Financially, he was in control... smart, smart man.
RIP Prince |

Location: Washington | Prince did one of the best half time shows for the 2007 super bowl, it was raining.....Prince had a way of always getting the extra effects out of everything....even mother nature. When he did Purple rain in the rain it was a W0W chicken skin moment.
A Legend. No doubt Prince is jamin with David Bowie right now. |

His Super Bowl performance was probably the best I've seen. Every year since I compare the Super Bowl performance to his and they just don't stack up to his performance in the rain. It was awesome! He was a true talent!! |

Location: Northern California | Seriously not a big celebrity freak, but Prince was incredible. Best concert ever was getting to see him and Sheila E as the opening act. There will never be another. I have been so saddened by his sudden death. RIP Prince. |
