Why the outcry for a drug overdosed moron?

good riddance. prince was a fucking asshole.

Remember this:

http://www.spin.com/2013/03/prince-smashed-someone-elses-guitar-fallon/

Prince didn’t just metaphorically destroy his two-for-one set on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last week (March 1), he literally destroyed his guitar. At the time we thought that a was pretty awesome thing to do. But, as it turns out, the gorgeous 1961 Epiphone Crestwood wasn’t his, and thus the act wasn’t awesome. It was way shitty.  

According to Death and Taxes, the ax was a loaner from house band guitarist Captain Kirk Douglas. After eyeing it during rehearsal, Prince asked to borrow it for the live show and because Prince gets what Prince wants, Douglas obliged.

The rest is history. The Purple One went to town on his 1979 sex jam “Bambi,” ending the song by throwing off the guitar and letting it crash onto the stage.

Are you God?  I don't even think they've done a autopsy yet, but you know OD for sure.

I don't think it was drug related, but many people of interest and merit were drug addicts. Churchill and Grant abused alcohol and tobacco. Lots of opium abuse one hundred years ago. Some people are just more vulnerable to drugs.

Yeah, but being an alcoholic is par for GD posters,  and we get a little upset when they die too.

While that is true, from reports Prince lived a pretty healthy lifestyle. Could be true, could be BS; I'm in no position to know.

I do know he was ill with flu-like symptoms recently, so it could be connected to that.

Its depressing to think of someone dieing at a young age, like 57. But it happens everyday, it just happened to my mom last Nov. at the age of 60.

I don't think it should be the front page of news, but it is a reflection of the people in this country.

According to Gavin Mcinnis, Prince had AIDS.  He claims his wife's connections is where this confidential information is coming from; not sure I buy the 'Flu' angle either.

I personally dont know much about Prince.

I will wait to see if an autopsy provides a factual reason.   The flu angle may have been disinformation.

This morning GMA had a tribute at the beginning of the show.  After about a minute, I just turned off the TV.  Not worth watching.

By default, anytime a "star" suffers an untimely death at a young age, I assume right away that the cause of death was overdose.

My wife yesterday: "They said he had the flu and sent him home.  The poor guy died ata home."

Me: "Um yeah....overdosing with a respiratory infection is a real killer,"

He was an incredible talent who made incredible music. And he created what he wanted how he wanted, fuck what others thought he should do.  Whatever he died of, he still has accomplished 100 times as much as me, and I've certainly made more mistakes. Maybe others are so scary awesome as to be in a position to judge such a prolific superstar, I'm not.

Yeah I heard this on the radio this morning. Almost definitely drug related.

 



I know he sold a lot of albums but I couldn't name a single song of his.

dude was fine and performs a concert, has to make an emergency landing to rush to a hospital when he's 45 minutes from home (for the flu, according to his reps), leaves 3 hours later, then the next day he's fine again and hosts one of his concert party appearances, then drives around with his buddies to Walgreens where he paces around outside.

Sounds exactly like the flu to me. Not.

We had a young guy in ICU that finally died after his organs shut down. He had tested positive for one of the flus. He wasn't even 50.

$10 says He got hooked on the prescription opioids at some point. A couple of his buddies and a doctor or two are going to be in hot water before this is all said and done.

It could be an OD from a mixture of prescription meds. He had hip problems that he refused to get surgery for so it could be a medication interaction that killed him.

Solid theory also. Interactions are complicated, so I'll stick to my pain killer addiction theory. Piggy backed on your hip information.
