We're currently losing all the biggest music icons.
Sadest part of this, those are the last music stars who would ever be that iconic and big. Musicians and artists these days will never become as huge as those.
- <sadly, this is trueRamanisky2
- What about Kanye?utopian
- lol ... nahRamanisky2
- But Kanye told us that he was a God and a Nubian King.utopian
- In all likelihood there will be people saying the same thing when Taylor Swift dies in the year 2079yuekit
- hang in there, Keith Richards!drgs
- music and the internet are dying. And QBN.fadein11
- I'm sorry to say,...but guise,...we are all gonna die. Part of life.ApeRobot
- Keith Richards just gained another 10 years todayRamanisky2
- Some people come,some people go.ApeRobot
- But it's indeed a great loss.ApeRobot
- dont agree with you yuekit.Bennn
- We way more music easily available today than in the 70s/80s. people just scroll and scroll. Very hard for a musician to become iconic.Bennn
- in the 70s when you bought an album, you knew you will listen to it A LOTS of time for a long time.Bennn
- Your right, entirely too much scrolling these daysyuekit
- I had to keep scrolling and scrolling to read all these commentsKrassy

A few people achieve mega-globo-success. A few people get to be out of this world talented. Literally a handful combine the two, at the peak of their powers.

- I'm wondering who is in he will?utopian

Massive everywhere other than America. Why?
- other than? i disagreepockets
- Struggled a lot in US for a big part of his career - fact.fadein11
- Being black and a bit oo-er obviously didn't help. V.different now obviously.fadein11
- What are you talking about? He was massive here as well. Beloved.sea_sea
- fadein...your head is a mile up your ass... past your intestines into your stomach up your esophagus and literally somehow magically coming out your mouth againPonyBoy
- - fact.PonyBoy
- <3PonyBoy
- @ponyboy - he never sold as many records in US as Europe for a big part of his career - do the math, do some research... his music wasn't even played on MTV infadein11
- early days. Look it up.fadein11
- nah... the guy was a MONSTER here regardless of record sales. Loved beyond loved very much for the other music he wrote (bengals, sinead etc etc)PonyBoy
- and ffs... you went racist and whatever 'oo-er' means with your reasoning... seriously—your head is up your ass, fade.PonyBoy
- Racist!!!??? what the fuck - how dare you. your dumbass biggest TV station refused to play black music for a decade! Fuck you.fadein11
- never accuse me of racism - do some fucking research.fadein11
- said you went racist, dickwad... didn't call you one. You immediately jumped on race as the reason for Prince's albums not selling over here...PonyBoy
- ... you have ZERO PROOF of that being the reason... that and your other 'oo-er' reference (whatever the fuck that is).PonyBoy
- btw—you're neither a dickwad nor a racist. :) I just don't like you saying Prince didn't sell in the States cuz of his skin color—the generation he played to...PonyBoy
- ... here in the States was passed that—the executives (our Grandparents at the time) perhaps were not—you have a point. BUT—he meant the world to 'our' genrtionPonyBoy
- (generation)PonyBoy
- I agree with pony, maybe the numbers weren't there at the beginning of his career, but he sure as hell was loved.sea_sea
- Okay - don't deny many would have loved him... sensitive subject and easy to get misunderstood on here as ever...fadein11

Let's Go Crazy
Prince & The Revolution--
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called lifeElectric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after worldA world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or nightSo when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your ownAnd if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floorIf you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friendsYou see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heardAre we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let's go!Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna dieAnd when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your doorTell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
CrazyLet's go crazy
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazyI said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's goDr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough childrenHe's coming
He's coming
ComingTake me away!
