    I, literally, miss Prince every day since his passing. He was a beautiful, complex and talented being. He wrote all the songs himself, he played every instrument (except horns) and he was unparalleled in his live performances. No special effects, just him and his beautiful gift. I was honored to have seen Prince live 4 times- and one of those was a jazz concert with none of his hits- and it was amazing. He was definitely not like any other singer, writer, director, producer or entertainer like Prince. Rest in peace, Prince of all Music.

They even made their own Bible translation using NON-scholars who couldn't even read any of the languages the original texts are in- all this to make it say what they wanted it to to match their inventions. By the way, I am NOT saying anything negative at all about Prince! I do not blame people for being gullible enough to be taken in by cults. It's not really their fault. I mean, they are prone to trust these people blindly and believe this stuff for emotional reasons- not due to lack of intelligence.

I believe in a God because there is no logical explanation for life, the explanations for life are more equal in there fantasy, explosion from nothing that expands and creates life on the fragments of nothingness...okay...well thats not scientific when you try to talk about the before big bang theory.

    Have it now I agree with every word you said. I also believe in God and His name probably is Jehovah or Yahweh. The name "Jehovah" is not the part of the Jehovah's Witness theology that is so messed up and ridiculous. BANG! God said it and... "bang"! :) While we do know that animals are connected to each other, believing that the random beneficial mutations of natural selection created changes that improved animals and that then this unguided, unintelligent force then wrote these changes to the DNA code is believing in man-made fairy tales (which violate the laws of science). The faithful natural selection believers here on youtube tend to be quite vehement in their attacks on people of other faiths. Oh, the irony!

    +Cam Allen I was referring to soul and R&B music my friend. I have nothing against Paul or especially Elton,Elton is my dude. I agree about them as far as the term "musical genius" I mean performer singer song writer musician producer composer arranger of good music. I don't use that term loosely, there are plenty good even great artist and even musicians that's correct. As far as relevant I don't like to use that term I think that depends on how big an influence one had and how many others they inspired and or play a part in their success,no matter how old or long ago they lived. Michael was incredible but he wasn't what these guys are/were. After the 70s the music changed the popularity of live bands and musicians declined. For instance Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Babyface(they are musicians) are incredible, but I can't say they're musical geniuses on the level of those above some may disagree. Some may include R.Kelly he's also an incredible artist. The guys I just named used drum machines and things but they are no less incredible. My statement wasn't to take anything away from anybody but to give examples of how high the bar is set...

    The rawness of pain in Stevie Wonder (as with many of us) is extremely evident. The loss of Prince is pain beyond words. And yet, I absolutely love what Stevie said in remembering Prince: "It's always great when we don't allow fear to put our dreams asleep; and he didn't."

I have toured with some people in the last 5 years, well known artists, strictly for the money and every night while on stage I mentally shook my head in disbelief at how the bar has been grossly lowered in the last 20 years.

    Very few media personalities want to go into the meat of Prince's contributions. Some of us aren't even conscious of it, but we love Prince because he authentically and honestly merged things that many forces are striving to keep apart - "white music" and "black music", sex and love, masculine and feminine. People are envious of his incredible ability to say "this is who I am, this what I believe" when it blurred so many cultural lines. BIG cultural lines. He was a symbol for unity.

    Crying again. watching Stevie cry just set me off again. Earlier in the day I had just been telling a friend about some of my Prince escapades , stories from the past. Later on that day I heard radio announcers speaking about Prince after playing his music and I thought I had mis-heard them speak in the past tense. Until I realized it was being said over and over. Terrified, - I cried out loud from my car window "Why are they speaking about Prince in the past tense ? What the hell is going on??? WTF ?!?" I sobbed my way all the way to work (thank God I work alone). I have the same passion about music as any true musician does which is why I loved him so much.
