Gotta love the celebrity worship in our society. Niagra Falls purple? Bridges turned purple? Because a musician died. wow."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

other than Prince and Bowie, name another peer as a solo act. For those that didn't like mainstream music in the 80s and 90s, these guys were gods"You know what's wrong with America?

Why didn't Chris Squire get this type of love from the world when he died. He was arguably as influential as Prince was.
I guess it's because a Squire isn't as important as a Prince!!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Thankfully, he was in death as he was in life...extremely private.
Prince was cremated and his final resting place will remain private, a spokesperson said Saturday.
A private funeral service was held Saturday afternoon at Paisley Park, attended by, among others, Sheila E; model Damaris Lewis; Prince siblings Tyka Nelson and Omar Baker, and Prince’s close musical and spiritual mentor Larry Graham, decked out in a purple suit and hat. Afterward, Paisley Park staff handed out about 300 purple boxes filled with Prince souvenirs to fans congregated outside Paisley.
A musical celebration will be held at a future date to be determined, according to the statement.

I guess it's because a Squire isn't as important as a Prince!!Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
