You have to admire the charisma or whatever that Prince had to acquire such devotion from his fans. But I don't admire it enough to donate to somebody's Go Fund Me page so they can go to a funeral that's already happened! Haha!
I admire a lot of people, but you will never find me on the floor of a Sam's Club singing Purple Rain! That is dedication! And her tears look so ... real!
That's exactly the sort of thing I care about - people like that are in serious need of ridicule and lack of people caring about their shallow nothingness of a real problem.

I have not heard that Prince died. Are you serious?
Why do people care so much about celebrities?they live their lives in other peoples dreams. They live their lives worshipping. They are easily impressed by clowns? Or should I say 'the showy display of one's means of life'?
Prince who?
Prince of what?
I hear you cofty.
To my embarrassment as a grown man I found Princess Diana's death and funeral moving and it brought to mind the death of a close relative of mine. Seeing William and Harry walking behind the coffin doing their duty when their heads must have been spinning brought tears to my eyes.
But not diminishing her family's pain, what did she do that caused such wailing and outpouring among British people. She was on holiday with her lover, got in a car without a seatbelt on and sat behind a driver who ploughed into a pillar at excessive speed. It happens every day of the week somewhere in the world.
So do I feel a stab of sadness when a "known" (on the TV or in the media) person dies if I find their work chimes with me? Fleetingly perhaps - but Prince? No, not really. Bowie, more so.
The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society will be celebrating an annual Memorial of Prince's death on Nelson 14th according to the Lunatic calendar.
