April 22, 201610 yr So, he stopped taking meds that were helping to keep him alive from a disease that he had (assuming that's accurate) because he believed that God had cured him and/or other religious purposes. But then would still OD on percocet? Seems kinda messed up to me.

Apparently they are doing the autopsy today, so maybe we will know more soon.

April 22, 201610 yr I read where NASA tweeted this photo: [ATTACH]55726[/ATTACH] As Greg Proops might say, "Prince is certainly swirling in the heavens this evening, a fabulous mass of purple magnificence."

April 22, 201610 yr Not sure if anyone caught the first 15 minutes of Steve Gorman Sports! yesterday, but it was fantastic. He waxed poetic about the artistic greatness of Prince, and what an impact Prince had on him as a budding musician. As a professional musician, he said he has seen thousands of shows, but there was one performance by Prince, and then the rest. He was in Minneapolis in '94 for the NBA All Star game, and word had spread that Prince was playing a show at Paisley Park. He and three others scored some tix and took a limo to PP at midnight. There were NBA past and present all-star players there (he mentioned Isaiah, Magic, Clifford Robinson, Dominique Wilkins, among many), and a 1am "fashion show". Prince came on stage at 2am and played every instrument in the band (including drums) for two hours, Gorman front and center six feet from Prince. When the show was over, they waited in the valet line for 45 minutes, when they heard music coming from the soundstage. They go back in, and Prince is on stage with six women, 3 on each side, singing acapella gospel hymns, just for themselves. They hung around another hour listening to them sing. He gets back to his hotel at 6:30am as the sun is coming up, eyes wide open from a magical evening of music.
April 23, 201610 yr Prince's first ever TV performance on the American Bandstand in January of 1980 including what Dick Clark called his most difficult interview ever. Though there are small excerpts on youtube, the entire performance and interview was a bit tricky to locate but here it is. http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/0510/prince_-_american_bandstand.mpg
