Saying Goodbye to a Musical Genius named Prince

Saying Goodbye to a Musical Genius named Prince.

 

I was awoken in Anchorage Alaska 3 hours behind Minnesota time early morning of 4-21-2016 with a unknown feeling, a feeling of uncertainty???

 

48 hours from today as as I went online and turned on the television early Thursday morning, it was all over the news that Prince had passed away.

 

Both Prince and I were both born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota and Prince was born 4 days after me on June 7th 1958, and I feel we had a connection in a spiritual way.

Even though it might seem that Prince's body on earth passed away with no loved ones around at his home in Paisley Park, there was love from his maker and many others that weren't with him at that moment.

 

Prince was a Musical Genius, a mentor to many in the Music Industry and loved by millions across the world.

I believe Prince's life on earth was very painful from the loss of others around him, and we very rarely saw these emotions from him in his performances and everyday life.

 

You have gone to a better place my friend, you will be missed by many and your music will live forever.

Some may call you Prince Rogers Nelson, Jamie Starr Alexander, Never mind Joey or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

 

I will just call you FREE ...

Hello Noah ...

I know what you mean my friend and it's these types of cases that always give us a reality check in life, an eye opener reminding us that we will not live forever.

Hello Endre ...

I heard way in advance before the news that he continued to have serious pain in his hips from wearing high heeled boots most of his life on stage, etc because he was only 5'2 in height.

I think he was on Percocet ...

A tragic loss and his passing was a total mishap accident ;o(
