Ok, see she's a woman though... I'm 23, but I don't think that age has much to do with the disconnect...
It's puzzling to see folks invested in people they have no direct personal connection to... but anyway don't mind me.

I appreciate your honestly. I'm high as fukk but let me see if I can help shed some light.

It's not so much an investment in him as a person, since I doubt that anyone here personally knew him. It's more of an investment in the times of our lives that this music is associated with.

While I have tremendous respect for Prince as a musician (and life coach) I had more of a connection to Michael Jackson than him, and I remember being a little kid, in my Thriller pajamas, writing a letter to Michael asking for an autograph. Playing his music on my tiny toy record player, trying to moonwalk across my floor. When he passed, those memories of a simpler time with my family, alive, young and healthy, enjoying life with no cares or concerns all came back. Music has that power, and when someone like Prince passes away, a generation of people whose memories were formed to his music is suddenly reminded of people and situations they may not have thought of in years. It can be incredibly emotional.

:whoa: Don't get carried away breh. I have N.E.W.S and another jazz influenced joint whose name I can't remember.
My man Miles... :blessed:

Yeah I understand what you mean, but at times I ask myself if it's not the same elitism that maintains high standards.

Do you own all of Madhouse? Have you heard the live recording of Prince in concert with Miles Davis?
