The news today that Prince died. He was 57 years old. I was never a huge fan but I appreciate his place in music history. Always a bit of mystery in my eyes. He helped change the sound of music in the early and mid-1980's. He was huge in the rise of MTV. I get caught at times of thinking of great musicians as remaining young forever. I tend to see them as they were at the height of their popularity.
Seems like there's been a lot of passings lately from the voices of my generation. People react with surprise and shock but I don't know why? They age along with all of us. Being a great musician doesn't guarantee a long, healthy life. Lately though, it seems there's been an increased frequency that leaves me wondering, who's next?
