i don't know maybe it's just me and no offense to any PRINCE FANS, but isn't the news coverage going a bit overboard? i mean cnn, hln, msnbc, fox news showing this for HOURS nonstop his passing? and now the news programs this morning that's their 1st story and their going to go on and on about it and the cable news channels are going into day 2 of it?....cities around the world lighting up buildings in purple?...GOOD THING nothing of importance is going around the world that affects millions of lives?...
i can say i was never much of a fan, although i think he was of course very talented.. but in truth, what had he done since like the 80's and 90's? was he selling out football stadiums and arenas around the world year after year? were his albums (cd's) selling big time around the world for years now? did he have countless hits around the world? he won alot of awards i'll give him that and i guess was influential to other artists, it just seems that he is now being OVER=PRAISED...
it's like he's being seen at the level of elvis, michael jackson... i'm thinking geez, if they give this much media attention to his passing, what in the world are they going to do for someone like MADONNA?... (regardless if anyone thinks she is a whore, untalented, whatever)....
