Prince -1958 - 2016

We were just talking of the Minneapolis musician who changed his name so much, whose music I've always liked and el Vaquero never has -- one of the not so many places where our tastes don't coincide.  We were talking of him with Ye Editor who is in town for today and took us to lunch.  Ye Editor also likes Prince's music.



We all went separate directions after lunch, with separate destinations.  I didn't even quite get to our door after my errands when ye phone demanded my attention.  It was Himself, with the news that Prince had died.

So far the cause of death has not been announced.

Supposedly he had been sick with something flu-like for some weeks. This AM he was found unconscious in his home music studio's elevator.  He was only 57.

He was a studio rat, and that's a very unhealthy lifestyle. but -- WTF!
