Heartbreaking. If the painkiller addiction is true, it's all the more sad - he literally drove himself into chronic pain in order to entertain his audiences. As I said before, I saw him in 2013 - well into his 50s. He gave more of himself in that performance than someone half his age. And...

Seriously... Whether it turns out that religion played a part in his death or not, I've long been irritated by his "conversion". IMO, Graham preyed on a man who was vulnerable after the loss of a child and a miscarriage. Prince did not need "saving". He had been having a conversation of sorts...

Damn - starting at 11:40 or so, Computer Blue, best track off Purple Rain. Guitar just sings for most of that song. This is the concert from 83 where some of the purple rain album tracks were recorded live at Fifth Avenue. Who is skilled enough to cut an album off a live nightclub...

I haven't been on Websleuths in over a year or two, but this thread brought me back to post. I'm so happy to see a group of people take Prince's death seriously, and with appreciation for his extraordinary talent. Have been lurking since his death - well done, folks :) I grew up in the inner...

Not everyone has the money or smarts to be choosy in a situation like this. The victims' families are often poor or otherwise marginalized. If they take the first offer from whatever civil rights attorney, who can blame them? They have no voice or access otherwise. I'm always amused when...

Right? He language is so passive. Like the weapon just "happened" to go off. While in the possession of the officer. And just "happened" to hit and kill someone. :rolleyes: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure, it might behoove all of us now to expect cops always show up ready to shoot, but for gods sake, SHOULD they?? Not every damn situation calls for guns blazing. For those of you with no empathy at all when this Ish happens to black men or women, black teens, black families - eventually...

I have been so saddened by Vice President Biden's latest loss, of his beloved son. He has already endured so much loss in his life. Yet he continues his public service - and he and Beau were both especially fervent advocates for children and women. Many blessings to the Biden family. To...

When I was in high school late 80s/early 90s the weed was crap, and always came out of some creepy dude's gym sock or sneaker hidden in a locker :ohoh: :lol: The high rollers in the inner city were NOT high school kids, and they didn't deal in schools. In fact, someone's older brother would...

It's VERY disturbing isn't it?? And see those mug shots, they're all grinning like friggin loons!! I have said it before and I will say it again, and again and again, but I grew up in the inner city, and the violence there never scared me half as much as the crazy, completely out of left...

Also says she showed up to class today acting like nothing was wrong at all - and then went quietly when the cops came to get her! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He is pretty shocked, described her as definitely a known stoner but "pretty chill", and would not have expected her to be involved in something like this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of those 'lovely young ladies' was in my son's class! :eek: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good grief. Poor woman, and poor Bruce, if this is indeed what happened. It's a completely believable story, given how he's been so much in the news lately, and how some of the paps behave. Just like what happened with princess Di. Awful. I realize people choose to become celebrities, but...
