Being an account of my wargaming activities, a few sailing stories, some beer related anecdotes, what music I'm listening to.... oh, and anything else that knows me!

RIP Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)
Small break in usual service, but I felt the need to mark the (sad) day... 2016 has not been a good year for celebrity deaths... 😔
For a time, late 80's I guess, he was very rarely off my various music machines... whatever the reasons he died, he was the same age as me... good grief!
And now again he is "the artist formerly known as Prince".
ReplyDeleteI recall listening to party like its 1999 when it first came out and 1999 seemed soooo far in the future...
ReplyDeleteI saw him once back in the late 80's. A class act and top musician.
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan but certainly have more of his tracks on my iTunes than the overrated David Bowie. And he liked Sheena Easton!
