Wide World of Women

I am a big time fan of his. I will miss him greatly but he is gone now. Thanks for all the music and memories. R.I.P. Rest well Mr. Nelson.

I grew up in the 80s. Prince was the voice of the 80s. I will miss him.

Was totally shocked by this as everyone was. He never aged and looked in great shape! Certainly will not ever be forgotten! The word genius and legend get tossed around far too easily these days, but Prince was certainly both! RIP, Sir!

He was honored everywhere, heck some of our favorite ladies wore purple for Prince. RIP Purple one. Also Prince needs a Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame surprised he doesn't have one yet.

2016 has been one incredibly bad year for celebrity passings so far,
and it's only April.

But the amount of iconic losses in music really stands out --
Bowie...Frey... Haggard...and now Prince. Don't recall this many so fast.

Also the acting side with Alan Rickman, Abe Vigoda, Tony Burton, George Kennedy, Ken Howard and Doris Roberts.

A more comprehensive rendering of my thoughts as its finally setting in that its real and I can actually type them out:

Hmmm, what can I say? Where do I begin? How do I talk about someone who's music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember? I guess I can start by saying Thank You and maybe thats all I can do. Thank You Prince, thank you for enabling me to feel all the colors of the rainbow, thank you for all the music, thank you for all the work, the love, the emotions, the dedication to your craft, the joy and love and wisdom and peace and inspiration you've given us. The songs for every emotion and feeling. Thank You. Thank You for never cheating your fans and always giving us all you had. 57 years seems but a short time but you got a LOT accomplished in that short timespan. My God nobody can ever accuse you of being lazy, talk about a work ethic. I thank you for all the music still being here and how even though you're gone in body you will always still be here with me, with us, in spirit all I have to do is even on today when I was missing you and feeling sad is put my headphones on while exercising and once again like always you were there in my ear. NO matter how I was feeling, how alone or sad I was or what I was going through and still to this day you always have been and will continue to be here with me. All I have to do is press a button. Once again thank you sir, so much love, effort, work and music you left for us all. I guess the Creator said you had finished your course and ran your race and done all he put you here to do so he said its done and called you home. Well done sir, well done Mr. Nelson, well done friend. You've finally made your way back home. Rest Well.

Tamron Hall hasn't been back to the Today show since Prince's passing. Apparently she and he were incredibly close. They spoke almost daily and she visited him often. Prince had said the only person he was closer to was his mother. It didn't sound sexual but what do I know. She called into the show the day after he died saying that she had talked to him the night before he died but that he sounded just fine. He wanted her to visit but she couldn't at the time.

I certainly believe they had something going on, because she's been asked about her relationship with him, and she stated "she couldn't kiss and tell." I think she would admit that they were just friends if that was just the full extent of their relationship. Prince was the first artist I ever remembering hearing as a child, and I didn't realize his complete and utter greatness until I was about 13 or 14. We've lost a talent like no other, may he Rest in Peace...

Music will never be the same without Prince. I still can't believe he's gone. His music will live on... Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world Prince.
