Wow, WTF! Easily, one of the most innovative musical artists of all time.
Purple rain! :-(

that's too bad, hope it wasn't because of his beliefs and he refused treatment or something stupid
- Interesting. Didn't know he was a Jehovah's witness.VectorMasked
- pretty certain he wasn'tmonospaced
- I think he was, it's been widely reported_niko
- From what I know about that religion, they really wouldn't be cool with the partying and dancing aspect of the pop star, y'know?monospaced
- They don't even celebrate birthdays or holidays, they're that stoic.monospaced
- I think he was, there are types of JWsdrake-von-drake
- understoodmonospaced
- Don't know if this is credible but...http://www.jwf...drake-von-drake
- he was... and once again mono... you are miles off on your understanding of a group of people you obviously don't like (I was raised a JW, my dad is one)PonyBoy
- I knew JWs growing up, and I'm not "miles off." If you didn't notice, I wrote "understood" because I understand there are different types now.monospaced
- I didn't say I didn't like them! Don't put words in my mouth!monospaced
- First off—you referred to them as stoic cuz they don't celebrate holidays or birthdays in the sense in which you do—how is that 'stoic'?PonyBoy
- And since when do JW's not 'party and dance'? :) You make some weird statements / judgements based on your feelings, mono... not reality.PonyBoy
- eh... don't want to argue w/you though :)
<3 I'd rather listen Prince and smoke this weed (cuz I'm not exactly a 'man of faith' so I'll stop yammering on here)PonyBoy - @pony, dude haven't you noticed yet, that's democrap logic, assume and ignore indisputable data and results from real experiences. Clownsdrake-von-drake
- +1 PBimbecile
- @PonyBoy, The JWs I knew weren't allowed to celebrate birthdays, and frowned upon things like dancing and parties in general. It's not based on feelings.monospaced
- They couldn't go to the school dances, fairs, or parties. Maybe they were extra stoic? Ugh, sorry, didn't mean to offend.monospaced
- You use terms like 'frowned upon' and 'weren't allowed'... did you ever stop and think they were happy to be that way? It was uncomfortable to you...PonyBoy
- ... but not necessarily to them. The things that you 'felt' were weird were indeed that to someone outside looking in... ... but just feelings. :)PonyBoy
- and they may have not gone to 'your' events but they had plenty of their own or perhaps others they went too—doesn't make them 'stoic' or anti-party, dude. :)PonyBoy
- Just makes them different.
Again... <3 Don't want to argue. I battle you hard from time to time and I need to chill on that... sorry to be so defensive. <3PonyBoy - I said, the JWs I knew followed the "rules" that they could not celebrate birthdays, for religious reasons. I'm not making an opinion, this was fact.monospaced
- I don't know how many times i have to say I understand it's not universal before you get off your defensive high horse and off my nuts. Holy shit!monospaced
- Jehova his Lorddrake-von-drake
- Your OPINION is that they are STOIC and don't dance etc (third time I've said this now)...which they are not. If it's not 'universal' why would you even say it?PonyBoy

It's like quite a few influential people have passed away in the past couple of years.

Sad. I remember when I received the cassette of Purple Rain (and subsequently lent it to a girl I like). Good memories there, and yeah, I am that old.

I always loved that Prince was a Jehovah's Witness who would occasionally go door to door. Imagine getting that knock on your front door.

Not many people know that, not all the music he wrote was performed by him. One of his side projects:
- Saw him play this on piano on this last tour. Was amazing.fiver
- maybe legit:
https://www.youtube.…jaylarson - https://play.spotify…jaylarson
- Didn't know that, guess it explains the "2 U" in the titleyuekit
- good songsureshot
- yeah, it really isformed
- His performance of this song is insane.sea_sea
- pockets2
- I know someone who died of pneumonia, and it turned out he had HIV and kept it hidden from everyone. It's one of the only ways a common illness can kill you.monospaced
