The passing of superstar music icon Prince has stunned the world and has hurt the hearts of everyone who loves music and really great music. His death also brought out tribute parties in his hometown and even one started by Spike Lee in New York. Through all the pain there is always the question why as there was with Michael Jackson. Is there another loss because of foolish drug use. We will have to wait and see but there is a lot of talk about the fact that this may have been another sad and unnecessary event in this world. RIP Prince.
