Prince, Passes Away at 57.

Nice post regarding the LM-1 & the LM-2 up there @Joe Cool23.

Billboard put up this vid of a panel discussion about a reflection of Prince featuring Spike Lee, Questlove, Anthony Hamilton, Kimora & journalists Toure, Alan Light, & Carol Cooper.
 
There was a Prince tribute concert 3 years ago in Carnegie Hall that featured the likes of D'Angelo, Bilal, Talib Kweli, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Elvis Costerllo among others... There were some nice vid clips available from the show & jam sessions prior to that tribute concert. Unfortunately, there aren't many of them around. Found this one though of a nice cover of Prince's Sister featuring Bilal on vocals, various members of The Roots, & Wendy Melvoin. Great cover...

Man that's one of my all timers for him. That acoustic guitar is just beautiful.

And with everyone pulling out their favorite Prince stories that they've heard. I think my most favorite I heard it that Michael really wanted to work with Prince and so he wanted to get him on the song "Bad" and once Prince read the first lyric of "Your butt is mine", Prince was like no thanks. And they never worked on anything together. Classic.
 
When my daughter was born I use to always sing "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" to her, still do every now and then.

My wife dedicated the song "Adore" to me for our anniversary one year.

"When Doves Cry" will forever give me the feels. Song really hits home.

Thanks for the music Prince!!! Through it you will live forever.
 
If you're in NY next spring check for the Prince vs MJ party. It's always been fire so I know its gonna be real next year. The last one was 4/16/16 :x The same people do a Wonderful party honoring Stevie on 5/14/16, he even showed up 1 year. (I am not affiliated in any way with either party but enjoy the music and crowd)

This chick is bad. Seen her before but never realized she worked with him. I'm sure he tried his hand with her.






Long live The Purple One.

[h1]Official: Pills found at Prince's estate contained fentanyl[/h1]
By Associated Press Mon, Aug 22, 2016 @ 7:48 am

Some of the pills taken from Prince's estate in Paisley Park after his death were counterfeit drugs that actually contained fentanyl — a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin, an official close to the investigation said.

The official, who spoke to The Associated Press Sunday on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said nearly two dozen pills found in one Aleve bottle were falsely labeled as "Watson 385." According to Drugs.com, that stamp is used to identify pills containing a mix of acetaminophen and

hydrocodone, but the official said at least one of the pills tested positive for fentanyl.

Autopsy results released in June show Prince died April 21 of an accidental fentanyl overdose. The official who spoke to the AP said records show the 57-year-old Prince had no prescription for any controlled substances in the state of Minnesota in the 12 months before he died.

Authorities are still investigating how Prince obtained the drugs.

Fentanyl has been responsible for a surge in overdose deaths in some parts of the country. When made into counterfeit pills, users don't always know they're taking fentanyl, increasing the risk of fatal overdose.

The Star Tribune first reported about the mislabeled pills in a story published on its website late Saturday.

Some of the dozens of pills seized from Paisley Park were found to have other drugs in them, some were oxycodone or codeine, and some were not controlled substances.

About a dozen tablets were found in a dressing room at Paisley Park, but the vast majority was in bottles of aspirin and Vitamin C that had been tucked inside a suitcase and bags — including one Prince often carried with him. Some pills were also found loose in the bag, the official said.

One pill with the "Watson 385" stamp tested positive for fentanyl, lidocaine and another drug. Officials found nearly two dozen pills similar to the one that was tested, the official said.

Another aspirin bottle had more than 60 counterfeit tablets in it.

Some pills that were analyzed contained fentanyl, lidocaine and U-4770 — a synthetic drug that is eight times more powerful than morphine.

Authorities also found a prescription bottle in someone else's name that contained 10 oxycodone pills, the official said, without revealing who was listed on the prescription.

The official said Prince had many of these pills with him on April 15 when the airplane he was on made an emergency stop in Moline, Illinois, after he fell ill from a suspected drug overdose as he was heading home from a performance in Atlanta. Prince was given two doses of Narcan, an antidote used to reverse suspected opioid overdoses, the official said.

U-4770 can be tested for in toxicology screens, but is not done routinely because it is a relatively new chemical. Presence of the drug was not tested in Prince's case, but the levels of fentanyl in his system were more than enough to be toxic, the official said.

Tests on Prince prior to his death did not show fentanyl in his system, which means he wasn't a long-time abuser of that drug, but likely took the fatal dose sometime in the 24 hours before he died, the official said.

The official did not elaborate on those tests. But at least one doctor, Michael Todd Schulenberg, saw Prince on April 7 and again on April 20, the day before he died. According to a search warrant, he told a detective he had ordered tests for Prince and prescribed medications. Schulenberg's attorney, Amy Conners, has said patient-privacy laws do not allow her to say what the prescriptions were.

The autopsy report also shows Prince had diazepam, lidocaine and hydrocodone acids in his body, the official said. Diazepam is an anti-anxiety pill sold as Valium. It's a sedative and can also be used to control seizures, which Prince suffered from as a child. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic.
