RIP Prince

I was not a big fan, but of course I was shocked to hear about his untimely death.

Still there are two things that have stuck in my mind:

1) When I was in the US for the first (and only) time in 1986 around Easter during a school exchange, there was "Kiss" on the radio, like every time I got in a car.
I still think of Columbus, Ohio, whenever I hear that song.




2) This suit:



RIP Prince. RIP Prince's ass. <3

I did tear up when I heard about his passing. My fannishness wasn't intense (as in I don't have all of his albums, for example), but Prince was one of those artists who seemed to have been around since I was a kid. So my heart did feel like it was breaking.

One of the things I liked about him is that he didn't give two figs about what other people thought of his style and kookiness. He was a true original who had the talent to back it up (also yeah, Prince's butt was SCANDALOUS and yet so very him).
