I think my musical IQ peaked with the Beatles. Now *that* is dating me! We're all "dated", let's face it. I am a dyed-in-the-wool rock and roller and Blues fan but here is a clip worth taking a look at. I can appreciate Prince here because he is playing my kind of music. It is my failing, not his - obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y From: "awoelflebater@...

It's being reported that he had major hip surgery a while back and had a lot of pain to deal with. They are thinking Percocet at this time. Seems he had a prescription for it and could have been building a tolerance thus needing more to get the needed benefits from it. His OD could have been a matter of trying to control pain and not being supervised by a doctor as closely as he should have been. His addiction could have been very innocent. I'm not actually making a judgment call on his character or whatever he might have been dealing with personally, whether it was opiate addiction, pain issues or simply a bad calculation of how much of whatever MAY have killed him he needed - if he was using. It is just that drugs are such a drudge on society, on people, and for someone to be taken out by another case of drug overdose pisses me off. I was never a Prince fan, his persona, his music did not appeal to me but that doesn't mean he wasn't phenomenally gifted, creative and boundary breaking. From: "awoelflebater@...

Not that death is mundane but when you have so much talent, so much to give and so much to take from that giving why waste it all like this? Addiction - the big albatross. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Yeah, could have had heart failure, heart attack, stroke , any number of things but more often than not, when someone as famous as he was and is a musician, dies unexpectedly, drugs tend to be the first thing that pops up in peoples minds.

Wiith the news articles all pointing to recent health issues that, to me, sounded more serious than just the flu, my guess is that he was secretly battling some other, more serious illness. I agree with you. I have known someone who, two weeks before dying, went to his doctor complaining of not feeling great and he was diagnosed with bone cancer. It was that fast. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : First thing that I thought of. From: "jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...
