His name was Rogers Nelson.

Fixed that for you.

Waiting for someone to do an oil painting of Prince making pancakes for Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

Because he only ever went by Prince. Just like Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea.

I was making a Fight Club joke but I guess it fell flat...

[kuronosan]

No, it went over my head.

[Tyrath]

Shame.

[kuronosan]

Yea I'm kind of exhausted right now. Surprised I missed it.

Bam Margera is probably going to be on the list by the end of the year. This video is hard to watch.

[Bregor]

So I guess "Good night, sweet Prince" can finally be put to accurate use.

Well fucking played

[Anoat]

Apparently MTV has pulled all of their regularly scheduled programming and has been marathoning Prince music videos since his death announcement. I'm not near a TV now to confirm if it's still happening.

RIP the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

I prefer the Artist Formerly Known as Alive.

[Tyrath]

Thanks stolen Reddit joke.

[Marootsoobutsu]

Thanks stolen Reddit joke.

I don't Reddit, but yes, it was low hanging fruit.

[Blubbartron]

Don't feel bad, I made the exact same joke. Apparently using it as my status, and adding that I don't give a fuck and I'm not looking forward to all the tributes angered someone enough to unfriend me. Rofl.

Man, Chyna was inevitable for anyone who slightly knew anything about her personal demons. Prince was just way out left field. I knew he had the flu, but he was still touring just recently.

Turned on my radio at work and When Doves Cry was playing. Fucking lost it. Cranked that shit up to max volume and danced with the co-workers.

[6souls]

Like a typical Prince show, the party doesn't end until after the sun comes up.

[Sho]

Minnesota about to be the most turnt up place ever.

[Aksannyi]

Minnesota about to be the most turnt up place ever.

I never thought I would read that sentence in my life.
