And yet, Kanye draws breath.

I can't ****ing believe this. The only instrument Prince wasn't a complete master at was the drums. Everything else, he was a ****ing PHD.

The music he wrote with Wendy and Lisa was some of the most original and prolific pop-rock that has ever been recorded.

When he moved away from the group mentality and became more of a solo artist, I thought his music was a little too self-indulgent, but he was still a master at crafting songs and he definitely wrote some gems along the way.

This is just no good. RIP.

It is, was, and will remain the best Super Bowl show of all time (embedding disabled)... worth the click

I think this might be the first time this song was played for anyone?

Listening to it now, excellent, great find from the early days... and the sound quality is NUTS, my little plug in speakers are literally 5x louder than they've ever been before

So once your brain has become accustomed to music theory via piano, picking up other instruments is easy because one already understands the relationship between the notes, also known as Music Theory.

At that point, it's just physical manifestation of the instrument.

the annoying thing is some of the best musicians dont know crap about music theory. They just learned on their own and play by ear or sight.

I know 2 people like that and I hate them (not really) for it.

Then add me to the list.

I don't read and never took lessons. Many of the Composer/Producers that I know are the same, although I know just as many that are schooled as well.

Hans Zimmer is the perfect example of a musician turned film composer that was never schooled.

Watch this mfer just RULE the stage, a born performer (good sound quality)

A friend of mine went to his last show in DC and reported, "I knew within the first 6 minutes that this was the greatest show I had ever been to".

And that cat has been to a LOT of shows in his life. I mean everyone who has ever been anyone across a metric shit-ton of genres.

I wonder if his estate will release the music that he created but didn't release over the years.

Actually, from what I understand, the only instrument he didn't play was the tuba... he had no desire.

I've seen him a few times and my favorite was at Paisley Park Studios (where he passed). Very small auditorium, small stage and I was front row... close enough touch him. I knew he was a small guy, but damn! The experience was epic to say the least.

He influenced a generation, started careers for more performers than most know (ie. Carmen Electra) and his legacy will live on for a very long time.

He was a genius, no doubt, and will be missed.

TMZ now reporting the emergency landing was for a drug overdose
