My heart is broken

I think I need to see a therapist. Or a chaplain. Or a rom-com.

Three terrible evils have befallen us in the past two days:

1. Chyna died
2. (The artist formerly known as) Prince died
3. The XBox will no longer be manufactured

I don't know which of those three things I'm more upset about. I mean, I feel like I'll be grieving FOREVER. At least ten whole seconds for each one of these. :crying: :crying: :crying:

What should I do to restore the joy in my life?

All I can think of is this.

Try watching a Chyna WWE match on a DVD played in your XBox, while listening to "1999".

I never knew about Chyna until now, never listened to Prince and never owned an xbox. I'm a happy guy.

Don't you Christians say Something to the effect of "we're all dust" or "to everything there is a season"?

You'll get over losing these losers.

Don't know about you guys but I grew up listening to Prince.
Purple rain and when Dove's cry were and are, two of my favorite songs.

He was a very private person and didn't make friends easily BUT when he got to know you, he was very humble and down to earth.

A loss for the music world for sure.

I believe next to Michael Jackson, in the early to mid 1980's, no male pop star was as popular/successful.

Jac is simply too young to understand the "Prince Phenomenon". He didn't live through it.

He was a truly unique performer.

And there are a few of his songs that immediately bring me back to where I was in the 1980's when I listen to them.

The guy was only 57. Died much too early.

Jac is probably upseat that Prince took all the attention from Chyna.
:lol:

I have been a huge Prince fan for 20 years. One of my most prized possessions is my Prince CD collection of which I proudly own nearly everything.

It is unfortunate that most of the post-death media and people dwell on his popularity during the mid 1980's. It is true that that was the height of his popularity.

The reality is that he has been creating and performing great music continuously and even up until very recently.

Around 2000 he became a Jehovah's Witness. The album "The Rainbow Children" was a welcome call to those who would accept the good news. And it was funky and infectious!

Recently he seemed to be making a resurgence while playing and recording with a small group of entirely females. He was also touring as a solo act touted as "a piano and a microphone". I was lucky enough to attend two of his shows live in 2002 and in 2012 and both were absolute favorite nights of my life.

I make my living as a recording studio owner and a guitarist. Prince was one of my heroes. I both appreciate and miss the guy.

You people aren't real Prince fans. If you were, you wouldn't refer to him by his preenlightened name. He ought to be called Image. Now, because such a name is not to be pronounced, you may refer to him as "The Artist."

I was only an 80's Prince fan. I think that nameless sign was later on, like 90's or later.
