try to find his songs on youtube. he blocked them.

Taylor Swift hates Spotify. Prince hates YouTube. Garth Brooks hates everybody (except himself and Walmart). It's hard to keep all the on-demand streaming-music holdouts straight in a world where download and CD sales are plummeting and Spotify, YouTube, Beats Music and the rest are clearly taking over the record industry. While Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, John Lennon and others have all popped up on streaming services in recent years, here are some of the more notable artists you still can't stream:

you can't take it with you, just ask prince...

if you're an artist, you want to share your work. you want everyone to see, you want everyone to hear.

yeah i feel for people like van gogh where he died a pauper but if you're rich already, share your shit.

Underrated as a guitarist too. RIP

I was just saying this to one of my associates. When a guy fluently plays 19 instruments, one can get lost in the mix I guess. That superbowl halftime was unbelieveable on guitar.

RIP purple man

RIP

What a legend. Did things his own way and had style like he just didnt gaf

I'm gonna bust out my pirate shirt and mascara to party like its 1999 all weekend

He was only 5'2. Short men and little people have short life spans.

Prince, Whitney, Michael all dead.

Little people have short life spans but not short people.. It's like the Great Dane vs Chiwawa life spans..

- The Giant Great Dane live 6 to 8 years..

- The little Chiwawa live 10 to 18 years..

Humans aren't that far off from their K9 friends...

6 – 8 years

10 – 18 years

**gauchojake** · 04-21-16, 03:55 PM

RIP...Prince was one of those artists that I didn't appreciate until I was older and realized what a fukkin boss he was. Manny what's your favorite tool song?

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 04-21-16, 03:57 PM

Chyna was 5'10". That's pretty tall for a girl I guess.

Alright E, My previous post may have been "insensitive"...
After listening to and reading various media sources, I have been reminded of or learned that he was a hell of a musician, could play some hoops, gave to people in need,
and dressed like a queer.

WTF? Who are you to tell someone to share their work? Especially share it for free? Are you saying rich people should not be able to make money? Are you saying artist should not be compensated? What does Van Gogh have to do with Prince or Bill Gates or Donald Trump for that matter? I've had friends that went broke in the music industry when the bottom fell out over music sharing. They have to eat too.

Why is it that only broke ass people want rich people to share their shit? Get off your ass and make your own money and stop telling other people what they should do with theirs.

Indeed.
Are you threatening me? lol

Imagine how much pussy and asshole Prince got throughout the years.

He had a good life.

I'm surprised Keith Richards, Ozzy Osbourne, Steven Tyler, Axl Rose and Tommy Lee are all still alive.

People mentioning David Bowie and now Prince. Scott Weiland was also a recent famous musician to pass.

I still find it eerie that Whitney Houston and her daughter both died facedown in a bath tub after taking drugs.

Now he is dead and people can't even share or post their favorite Prince tunes with each other because they have been blocked.

Clint Eastwood any day now for sure..

Stones are fueled by years of drug use and if they lived this long they might live forever..

Bernie Sanders too much energy but could have a stroke or heart attack for sure in the next 5 years..

I'm thinking more along the lines of Willie Nelson, Little Richie, Neil Young, Gene Simons..

You do get paid off of YouTube and Spotify and all that shit. Calm down Mac, you're partying in 1999 talking about some file sharing

**texhooper** · 04-21-16, 06:39 PM

Anyway personally I will be drinking, watching Purple Rain, and inevitably crying. Fukking terrible day

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 04-21-16, 06:48 PM

guy is still stuck in the 80's with a mullet thinking artists don't get paid when they post their vids on youtube.

there are artists that get paid millions from posting vids on youtube.

the guy's 50 yo and he said he schooled willie cauley stein and other mcdonald's all americans.

he also knows every famous people from actors to singers to politicians. the guys is smoking some good shit.

Sounds like he had a drug overdose a couple of days before his death.
