Followed a couple of hours later by an aftershow in Spirit. Great night.0 -

Driving home nothing but junk on the radio and so I started scanning stations. Stopped when I heard Darling Nikki and after it the DJ says they are playing Prince non-stop, all night. That's a bit weird I thought and after three more songs she starts going on and on about how much Prince has done for music and the who he has influenced and I actually thought 'Ah here, would you stop, sure he's not dead ffs'. Then she started the next sentence with the words 'Prince was'
105.2fm is the station for anyone in Dublin. TXfm.ie online.
Can't believe it. Bastard of a year.
RIP.0 -

It's weird, both Prince and David Bowie were two of the most influential artists of all time and yet I know very little about either other than their "greatest hits". I like to think of myself as a big music fan, possibly even a little bit of a music snob, and yet while I'm relatively good at keeping up with new artists and discovering cool new stuff I realise that I'm probably guilty of ignoring what went before. I try to uncover contemporary artists without paying any heed to those who influenced them.
Would have loved to have seen Prince live. He seems to have been a somewhat prickly individual, to put it lightly, but nobody can deny that he was gifted musically. RIP, you ridiculously talented purple weirdo. 0 -
i don't care what anyone says....this has to be the ultimate Prince song
it also has to be the ultimate 80s song....

Yeah, that was so cool. Apparently he did that as a tip of the hat to the sketch that Chappelle had on his show which was based on a true story of when Prince brought Eddie Murphy, Eddie's brother and bunch of their friends back to his place one night back in the mid 80's.

Listening to three hours of Prince on Today FM. I knew all these songs before of course, but before today I hadn't sat down and listened to Prince for a few hours straight, in a long, long time.
God it really hits you when you hear - Partyman, Gett Off, My Name is Prince, Kiss, - all in row following each other.
That's some serious quality.
No-one do you like Prince do.
Same and Paul played my favourite Prince song too, was a gorgeous show. Still in shock. 0 -

http://www.cracked.com/article_22580_7-celebrities-with-weird-ass-pre-fame-lives.htmlHe picked up my ball and made a face that was understood in international ****-talking parlance to mean I'ma kick yo' ass, and started knifing around the court, moving quick, dribbling fast, sliding under my arm to snatch rebounds I thought for sure I had. He was showing off, being competitive, and, yes, engaging me in the same way I'd interacted with so many men I had played basketball with before. He moved like a player and played like one of those darting little guys you have to keep your eye on every second. Blink and he's somewhere you wouldn't expect. Lose control of your dribble for a heartbeat and he's relieved you of the ball. He jitterbugged around the court like a sleek little lightning bug, so fast he'd leave a defender stranded and looking stupid if he weren't careful.0 -

I liked how increasingly lost for words he was as the evening went on, when it came his time to say a few things after each track. Probably, like a lot of us, he hadn't listened to Prince in a fair while - at least not hours and hours of him in one sitting. You could tell he was taken aback at how good the songs still sound.
When you hear all that musical goodness back to back, there's a cumulative effect to it, and you just have to say "Genius" and realise the guy had it going on.0 -

He really was. He did a phenomenal job. I cried for the last half hour of the show, all those songs he played were amazing but the last few broke my heart. I love Paul McCloone, he really did a superb job 0 -

Saw Bowie in the Point in 2005, Prince in Cork in 1990 and RDS in 1994(?), wasn't holding out any hope of Bowie touring again but I was hoping Prince would return here as I couldn't go in 2011.
Sadly, not to be...
Think the RDS was 95.
I really, really wanted to see him in 92 but the ould pair wouldn't let me, nazi parents, so out of touch. Probably had more to with the Leaving cert exam I had the following day!Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.
