^ I heard it on the radio. My 'old' hero is gone... :(

What?? No.....:'-(

Today the Dutch Itunes is full of Prince and our number 1 is 'Sometimes it snows in April'. I know there are users who like random stuff with numbers. Well this one seems pretty odd. Sometimes it snows in April is a song from the movie Under the Cherry Moon and 30 years old. Prince was 57 minus 30 (from that song) is 27. We all know that 27 isn't exactly a good age when you're an artist.

I personally never really got on with Prince, apart from some singles.

On the UK side. A comedienne died also pretty young:
Victoria Wood.

^ I've always been more into Prince than Bowie (speaking of recently gone music geniuses)

^ me too. My first concert was a Prince concert. Standing at the 5th row near the speakers, and I was completly deaf (for 2 days). But both artists were icons and will be missed.

Same here. In fact I am not even sure I like anything.

^ here too. in fact, i outright hate Raspberry Beret. however, i feel like he was an innovative and important character in music history. just don't like his music :)

Been a fan of the artist since the Controversy album. My best friends brother in high school was director of soul at U of M radio station. We would go down and hang out on the weekends and do some partying. He turned me on to so much music that I never thought I would enjoy and of coarse Prince.

RIP

Sorry. but you're too late for the Bud Spencer movie. The cinnema doors are closed, find some way to enter hidden :)
I bet you're joking

P.S. His last words were Thank you.
He was a great MAN!

no seriously though i dont know anything about Bud Spencer, and didnt grow up with him. but will check some of his stuff out if i get the chance :)

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. The spaghetti western dream team! I grew up watching those guys dish out knuckle sandwiches right and left. Bud was the silent, cranky old man, and Terence Hill always played the upbeat sidekick. I fucking loved those films.

The films may have been in B-movie territory, but they were a fun romp for kids of any age.
