It's definitely a repeat watch. Apparently they are working on a sequel.

I had pretty major wrist surgery in January of 2015 and was very careful with my percocet use(though I will admit that I really enjoyed them). This January I shattered my foot, spent 9 weeks with an external fixator on it and now I'm three weeks with it off and trying to be weight bearing/walk on the foot... no being careful here, I'm a percocet hound right now, it helps with the pain and helps me get through the day. Luckily I don't have the addictive makeup, it shouldn't be too hard to get off it...

Heard something awesome yesterday after BB king died a reporter asked Eric Clapton what's it like to be the greatest guitarist alive today. Clapton answered, "I don't know why don't you ask Prince that."


A great iconic musician lost sad week

RIP Prince

Just imagine if everything you heard was true!

Everyone wanted to work with the guy and he was highly respected by the top artists in pretty much any genre

Heres a song he did the keyboards for, uncredited, because he just loved music that much... along with a short story to explain it

SNL is dedicated to Prince tonight. WELL WORTH WATCHING.

The man was ****ing wonderful and awesome!

In. Thanks.

The number of awesome musicians who bless this world is many, but I'm not sure there will be another quite like Prince.

Yeah, glad I hit record

This guy was one of the heaviest hitters of all time

James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis and Little Richard all in one

This is the best SNL in like FOREVER... I just pressed "Record" so I can play it back at will..

Jimmy is obviously heartbroken... Wow...

Coachella, from the Ferris Wheel, yesterday as the sun starts to set. Palm trees were lit purple all night.

Agreed. What I just saw was beyond awesome.

The "Lets Go Crazy" was cool with Chris Rock an Co. singing backup

...he's in good company.

I don't watch New Girl but caught the beginning of the re-airing of "the Prince episode" the other night so I hit record. watched last night. I figured he'd make a cameo. it was much more than that! pretty funny actually. he has a big part.....many lines....and performed.

one thing I found funny was at one point he had a butterfly land on his shoulder by his command. later he's kicking New Girls ass in ping pong. OK...so at the END he's playing one of the other girl characters in ping pong and she bashes one on him. he gets all upset...throws the ping pong racket down and runs outta the room....and a second later this butterfly follows him out. too funny.....

You could have at least said you recorded it for a friend.

hell no man! I love prince.

I was born a poor black child!

Bet not many of you have heard this extended version of my favorite Prince song, this guy ****ing ruled

There was never, nor ever will be anyone else like him seamlessly fusing so many different styles

Wow. I'd never heard that song outside of the movie. Nice post up man.

Used to spend my allowances special ordering his first four albums at the now defunct local record store (RIP record stores), you could get 1999 and Purple Rain anywhere, but not those first ones

The back cover of his first album For You is him naked on the back of a winged horse... mom had to have been a little worried LMAO

He was a special person and talent, still hate losing him

Check out this rare version of a cut from the Controversy album, something to break up a boring friday night

New wave, punk, and funk all blended perfectly together

I'm thinking Dez Dickerson had something to do with this release

i feel like prince isn't super respected for his rock abilities..he gets mad props for his pop hits and his ability to play guitar but not for his rock centric songs, imo. *talking about general listening populace

I think he was appreciated for his unique ways, and that's cool. All I know is we're going to miss him.

Prince sucks.

Meximelt.

I hope you're just "penzing" here...

What were his best "real music" songs? I must admit that I've been pretty indifferent to his music that I heard. I never quite got the Prince adoration.

Plenty of good music to be found in this thread, click on some links... I posted a killer song of his called Fury that he performed on SNL a few years ago, to name just one

For me atleast, his musical appeal is in the way he blended so many different styles to create something so uniquely his own

His personal appeal is that...

a) he was an electric, natural performer

b) he insisted on having a multi-ethnic band from his earliest days, he wasnt just for black or white people... Prince was for everyone, he covered so much ground that just about anyone can find something they like

c) he played ATLEAST 20 instruments at a professional level

d) Warner Brothers signed him as a solo act when he was only 18, I could hardly find my ass with both hands at 18

e) he was always a very spiritual guy, his lyrics are littered with references to God etc and I like that

And your hero The Boss LOVED him, so that pretty much means you gotta love him too :D

8+ minutes of unplugged brilliance, a true musician... just for you RainMan

http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView....43&relatepage=

people just love it because other people love it. It sucked. NEXT

He penzin'.

when I think of game changers I don't think of prince, he was a poor mans Little Richard. Eminem changed the game forever.

Opioids. Shocked.

Prince died of opioid overdose, official tells AP

A law-enforcement official tells The Associated Press that tests show the music superstar died of an opioid overdose.

The 57-year-old singer was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate.

The official, who is close to the investigation, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Investigators have been reviewing whether Prince died of an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death.

Prince was found dead in the elevator of his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minn. Deputies and medical personnel found the music icon unresponsive when they arrived at his home, and they performed CPR but it was unsuccessful.

Following his death, many of those closest to the music icon denied he used drugs.

However, since the singer's death, details have emerged about medical treatment he was receieving.

In the weeks before Prince's death, the musician met twice with Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg, a 46-year-old family care physician who worked at a Minnetonka clinic a few miles from Prince's Paisley Park studio and home, according to search warrant documents. The warrant documents say Schulenberg prescribed Prince medications in recent weeks, but what they were and whether Prince took them is unknown.
An addiction treatment doctor, Howard Kornfeld, has also stated he was in touch with Prince's representative the day before Prince died.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Another opioid death. A shame, but sadly not a surprise.

Pot is illegal but any pos doctor can prescribe this shit that kills people...

I get the marijuana part. Yeah, make it legal (remembering that before Colorado passed the recreation laws, weed was overprescribed.)

You're not suggesting that we take opioids out of doctors' arsenals, right? You're only making the case for legal weed?

im saying its ****ing nuts that weed is illegal, AND im saying that someone needs to police these prescription writing doctors AND the low lifes they give these drugs to.

Why not just blame Prince for Prince's actions?

Ideally, this.

Elvis
Michael
Prince

All prescription meds...all in their homes close to hospitals.

:hmmm:

I don't think acknowledging Prince's responsibility and being disgusted with irresponsible doctors are mutually exclusive.

Of course it doesn't look like we know the whole story yet.

For instance, we don't know if there was an irresponsible doctor involved at all.

Typically, if a prescriber keeps good records and can justify the prescriptions, no harm no foul rule applies. Like in any profession, some unscrupulous types exist.

Yeah. That's why I said that.

So really, the story hasn't changed at all. He died (likely) of an opioid OD. Meds were prescribed for a medical condition he was being treated for. He dosed himself.

It was an accidental OD by a man who may or may not have been addicted to opioids.

We'll see where the investigation goes I guess.

this has nothing to do with prince...


its about the doctors that are feeding this shit to people.

and the people who get the scripts and then sell them to others.

I think it's great that doctors are willing to prescribe pain medications, even if there are people out there who will take advantage of that and seek them for recreation/abuse. I'd rather err on the side of relieving the pain of those who suffer than on the side of preventing addicts from killing themselves.

It's a little bit more complicated than that.

Are opioids overprescribed? Yes. Does it lead to addiction? Absolutely.

Are many people unable to function do to chronic pain without pain meds? Unfortunately, yes.

The only thing that one can really do is to enact prescription drug monitoring (Missouri is the only state w/o it, by the way) and remove the stigma of addiction so that those who need help can receive it.

If someone is on Fentanyl they should also have Naloxone on hand in the case of an overdose.

Dude People that don't need it are getting whatever they want on a daily basis. Trust me on this...

some doctors are building the addicts.

Know any crooked mechanics...........?

Most prescribers are responsible. Just like most auto shop owners are responsible. A few bad apples exist. Every prescriber can be bought. It's about negotiating price. Everyone has a price. Physicians, dentists, veterinarians and auto shop owners have a price.

What a patient does with his prescription when he leaves the office is not under prescriber control. Keep good records with a diagnosis. 99.99% of prescribers are honest. But in Missouri, there is no state system( the only state in the US) to track individual prescribers giving prescriptions to individuals. Usually the pharmacy will call me when they suspect a problem. ER's call me too.

Sauto. What is the price of a hydrocodone 10 on the street? $ 50 a tablet.

I highly doubt it.


I don't take any pills. Like ever. Probably taken one pain pill in my life, didn't do shit for me except upset my stomach. I haven't taken antibiotics in over 20 years. So v long ago I can't even remember but I've lived here for 17 and know for sure not since then...


But I know a guy who put his kid through college by selling his prescription pills.

I understand that, for sure...

Not really the having a price part, but that most are responsible

And I will say that we get pos families coming in all the time and I've had them tell me they moved here due to the lax prescription, welfare regulations.

That's got to be a vanishingly small group.

Not around here it seems.

I'm sure it's better nationwide. I never knew we were the only dumbass state that doesn't track that shit.



I fired pill dealer guy as a customer after he told me his whole gig.

I realized I was helping fund his life. The state paid for all his pills.

That he sold for thousands a month.

I see that as well.

It's a bargain here in Phoenix at $40.

I have never argued that there isn't a glut of pills available; it's the downside of individuals having access to them and a state with archaic approaches to medical practice.

There are very real problems with abuse of prescription pain meds, but it's an incredibly complex topic.

Ok. I understand, and agree.

I wonder who prescribed those?

RIP, Prince

Sad to see what the estate battle is shaping up like, the lawyers will get most of it

How can you be that rich and not have a will?

It goes for a buck a milligram

Dope!

My guess is that he chose not to have a Will because he fathered so many children that were unknown to him that wouldn't be eligible to make a claim towards his estate.

Not having a Will allows those that he fathered to a piece of his income, which will generate revenues for decades, if not a century.

You are blessedly clueless about addiction. I hope you are fortunate enough to stay that way.
