    I spoke from true respect and positive thoughts for what he has blessed us with.

    Not sure how it could have been interpreted otherwise???

    I know that, Calz.

    It's a general remark. I've not seen Prince on local TV for a while. And even the few reports I can remember where not all that positive. When he changed his name there was mockery too.

    Then he dies, and you get talkshow after talkshow with nothing but praise and die-hard fans among our own local celebrities, which I certainly never noticed before. I don't like that hypocrisy.

    Prince originally wrote Nothin Compares 2 U for The Family, a band that was signed to his Paisley Park record label. The song was inspired by a member who had just broken up with his girlfriend. The Family was made up of former members of The Time, and they released only one album.

    This was a #1 hit in 17 countries. In the US, it was the #1 song of 1990, topping the Hot 100 for four weeks.

    He wrote hits also for Dolly Parton, Martika, Bangles, Sheila E, Sheena Easton.

    A once in a life time talent.

    I saw him at the Sydney Entertainment Center back in 2003, I was 5 rows back from the stage. The audience some 10,000 of us all stood up and were cheering for Prince to come out on stage, the sound was defining it was like standing next to a passing freight train we cheered for a good 20 minutes Prince came on stage and he had to repeatedly asks us all to sit down we were all that excited, finally we did. And then we were all treated to a fantastic concert. After the concert we began to cheer again looking for an oncore, Prince came out and played for another hour or so. It was a unforgettable concert.

    no-one dies of AIDS anymore; but what one can still die from is murder in a satanic ritual; I'm amazed that no-one on this forum has yet postulated the possibility that Prince might have been murdered- why not?- "too far out there"?- I think not-

    this time of yr./dates are big-time for satanists and human sacrifices; do the research; the info is out there-

    2 days after Whitney Housten's untimely and very dubious demise Chaka Khan stated on a British TV talk show: "there's something almost demonic about the entertainment industry"- understatement in my opinion-

    please be well all-

    Sheriff says by 4pm Eastern Coast time they will have a news conference.. (sad...) doing the 'investigation' now.

    His good friend talked with him.. Tamron Hall talked with him and she was saying he gave no indication he was having any difficulty with health issues. She was saying she was really not getting any indication there was any issue, that he was forever for truth, for rights, principles - he wanted to challenge an unfair system which abused artists/musicians/performers. This idea, life is an on going journey is what she says he was about.. she says, "(paraphrased slightly) He was a silent angel, he didn't want to ever emphasize, how much he would be an Angel in whatever he could do to help others.."

    Prince was an original lyricist and a startling guitar player. His talent was limitless. 2/3


    some thoughts uttered by Hendrix come to mind:

    Quote When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

    Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.

    Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

    Stevie Wonder - "Passion, he passionately loved music, he was incredible..a great musician and human being.."

    Eric Clapton was once asked what it was like to be the greatest guitar player alive, and he responded, “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”

    I've been a Prince fan since 1981 and the Controversy album. Was the kind of fan that followed his personal life avidly, as much as was available to the world, private as he was. Danced to his work from the release of 1999 to Purple Rain, cried, loved and contemplated life accompanied by cuts from Sign of the Times to some of his more recent work. He's the kind of artist, like MJ, who comes around every once in a millennia. The full brunt of his catalog will only be truly understood now, after his death, as people come to listen to it in the context of these times. He was spiritual, he was political, he was sexual, he was human. He saw this world clearly and talked to us about it as we were waking up; he was alternative community before there was a such thing as alternative community.

    I'm disturbed by the conspiracies. But they come from a real place. He fought for artists, the fact that we cannot find his work anywhere except for Tidal and a few songs on a Chinese sites or two, speaks to his personal diligence in policing the Net making sure his work was not pirated. He was nocturnal and could do that. He was net-savvy from the get-go and knew what the Net meant before most. He got his Masters back in the agreement with Warner. Again like MJ, this could be enough. The fact that he knew what was going on, had achieved a level of control over his own finances that MJ never had, put him in a dangerous position.

    Eventually, the truth comes to light as it always must. We will know what happened. If he died of some kind of flu, so be it. He gave his all like few do in life. May Prince Rogers Nelson, my favorite artist in this lifetime, rest in peace.

    the CTs are an advanced radar detection program i believe. They make a metal soup in the air, visible on certain radars, so that even cloaked, supersonic or maybe even offworld crafts can be tracled and their trajectories monitored and cataloged... Amongst other, more nefarious reasons. But this radar capability is why we see it used globally in places of power imo. Ufo's cant hide from us in dat stuff lol

    Default Re: Performer PRINCE has died

    (sigh..) this is sad, but it is a key note about using certain pain-killers and having the flu and lung/bronchial congestion.. Please follow along. I wish he would have understood more of the consequences of that particular prescription medication..

    According to TMZ, Prince’s overdose and subsequent hospitalization in Moline, Illinois, last week was brought on by his use or overuse of Percocet, an opioid combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone that is used to treat moderate to severe pain. (Hip problem, severe pain - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2611170)

    The singer was allegedly “unresponsive” during his plane’s emergency landing, which called ahead with a report concerning an "unresponsive male" aboard.

    Prince was subsequently treated in the airport by emergency medical personnel who administered an opiate antidote, or “save shot.” After being hospitalized for three hours, Prince left to return to Paisley Park in Minnesota.

    Reports are, the Naloxone antidote shot for opiate poisoning, people will feel immensely "relieved", not realizing that the antidote wears off fast and that they DO need hospitalization and monitoring - allegedly Prince refused the hospital stay (cause of no private rooms available), and left to travel over to Minnesota..

    No doubt the chemical forensics are going to say Prince had "opioides" in his body.. Thing is with flu, adding cough suppressants lets congestion build when the cough reflex needs to be fully active. Ephedrine in small doses would have kept the bronchi clear.. staying far away from opioids.

    Quote Members of his entourage told first responders about the Purple One’s prescription drug use, and EMTs administered a “save shot” at the Quad City International Airport to resuscitate the rocker, TMZ reported Friday morning. The Percocet was apparently taken by Prince to combat chronic hip pain, with TMZ saying the Oscar and Grammy winner had surgery on his hips a half-dozen years ago.
    Reference - Opioid issues with respiratory suppression. - link: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/580944

    "With potentially fatal consequences, opioid-induced respiratory depression is a major limiting factor for the provision of effective analgesia. Opioid drugs, such as morphine, are a mainstay for pain relief for patients around the world. They are used in a wide variety of clinical situations, for example, after surgery and in control of pain [..] "

    Opioids cause an irregular respiratory pattern.

    I will venture to say, death came from respiratory suppression and pneumonia brought on by flu, stress, and percocet induced respiratory damage. He would have been needing a Pulse-OX system to monitor his oxygen levels, and watched on a heart monitor to track breathing rate. The prime killer was the respiratory suppression induced by percocet is my thought on this - wrong substance to have in the body with flu.

    Also one needs a healthy functioning liver to deal with the effects of virus toxins.. Percocet contains a dangerous substance Acetominophen. Taking more than 4 grams of acetaminophen in one day can poison you and cause permanent liver damage, even liver failure. So for the highest doses of Percocet, even four pills in one day could cause liver problems.

    =========


    My thanks to Melinda at FOX for connecting the dots on the flu+opioid (Percocet) use. Folks need to hear about the dangers of that mix. I feel your article is a MUST-READ.

    ==========

    Press conference - Minnesota, Chaska 3PM Central Time -
    Medical examiner has completed the initial study. Toxicology may take "time"..

    Sheriff Jim Olson - a bit of a tribute and then saying respect his privacy pls.. saying he won't talk about certain things.. Gave a brief timeline about getting the 911 call.. Repeating what we have heard, pronounced deceased, 10:07am. Prince was alone in the building they said. Building was checked, investigation was/is ongoing. The Carver County medical examiner showed up. Reported no signs of trauma. Questions then from the reporters present.

    Sheriff says, no reason to believe it was a suicide. No foul play evident. (emphasized stop with any conspiracy, paraphrased).. Says it was an unwitnessed death. But he was collapsed in the elevator. Was last seen about 8pm, dropped off at Paisley Park.

    Says drug tests results are going to take weeks. Will not say what was or was not taken out.

    When asked was he taking medication - "can't confirm at this time". Still gathering medical records and talking to people close to him..Prince was alone in the elevator, 1st floor..

    Not saying how long he was deceased.. Medical examiner dialog.. 4 hour meticulous exam, and Prince's body is now released to family.. (time of death is "pending")..

    Sheriff says Prince was a good neighbor for everybody.. says please stop the rumors.

    Medical examiner says they will not give information until ALL of their results are complete, and that it is up to the Sheriff, if any information will be released earlier.. "Everything is pending".. expect a minimum of days, to weeks before reports will be released. Numerous detectives and investigators are on this, but "life goes on" - although Prince is a high profile case, other cases are out there needing to be worked on.. At that point the Sheriff walked away from the podium..

    He was visibly flustered at that point when pressed to release information.. Medical examiners office then takes the mike, things are going to take time..

    Sheriff comes back.. no signs of physical trauma was present.. emphasizes Prince was a very private person and it is not unusual for him to be alone at the complex.

    Crowds will be allowed to visit until Monday (unclear why that time limit)..

    Says we are going to do this investigation well.. Gets into the opiate over-dose medication and says officers did not administer such there in the elevator.. Says he certainly liked Prince's music as an aside. Says please, Prince was a private person, please respect his dignity..

    And that was that. The conference ended by 3:30PM.. As an additional aside, the medical examiner's office calls for a show of hands, asks for a show of hands, how many were fans.. Gives a brief tribute in her own way, thanking folks for the respect given..

    Default Re: PRINCE has died

    Currently there is a conspiracy unfolding online surrounding a mysterious last Instagram photo caption made by Prince (or someone else nobody knows), the caption has since been deleted it is claimed.

    "Prince's autopsy was just completed ... but the cause of the singer's death is still a mystery."

    It appears the cause of death was a chemical reaction, but at this point the origin of the chemicals are not known, could have been an overdose or a kill shot at a hospital, both are possible. Could also be something entirely different having nothing to do with his health.
