God that bothers the hell out of me. All due respect to Prince.

How is that a bad thing? if a team underachieves in a playoff series they should lose. Increase the drama/parity 2016/04/26 15:55:25 +0000 Comment by You @user-123499215-388434065: 27 instruments is misleading. You're referring to the For You album, but it mostly boils down to different types of guitar, bass, keyboards, and percussion. While this is still goddamn impressive (and he's a great songwriter and entertainer on top of all this), the number 27 isn't really that meaningful. 2016/04/26 14:28:11 +0000 Comment by User 123499215 Prince mastered 27 instruments, he was a singer, songwriter, entertainer, composer, and a brilliant person. 2016/04/26 01:14:08 +0000 Comment by justinwillsey he joked that he was "out like the 'wolves in the first" at the end of the 2007 single "F.U.N.K." 2016/04/25 16:31:27 +0000 Comment by You Nobody who knows what they're talking about is saying he is the greatest guitar player ever. 2016/04/25 14:58:12 +0000 Comment by Jason James Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson, all born the same year 1958. All grew up in the Midwest. 2016/04/24 21:21:58 +0000 Comment by Harvard with Honors Prince NAMED her Carmen Elektra... 2016/04/24 16:10:05 +0000 Comment by Daniel Dsouza Just add a round to the playoffs. Top 4 in each conf. get a bye, next 16 play for the last 8 spots in a best of 3. Second round is best of 5 so overall playoffs don't get lengthened. 2016/04/24 07:31:46 +0000 Comment by Dan B that sucked. too much prince talk. it's the NBA playoffs dude. 2016/04/23 12:09:38 +0000 Comment by User 324882444 how about best of 7, but if one team gets up 3-0 series is over? 2016/04/23 05:44:01 +0000 Comment by Harvard with Honors He would do it again. He got the ownership of his songs and got out of his bad contract. GREAT move. 2016/04/23 03:24:40 +0000 Comment by Harvard with Honors Look up "Donald Trump (Black Version)" Written by Prince, Performed by The Time 2016/04/23 00:27:51 +0000 Comment by MrCompletely there's no doubt about this. lots of evidence he was a huge sports fan 2016/04/22 23:35:11 +0000 Comment by MrCompletely purple rain was actually developed collaboratively with his band. It's mainly his work but does contain other people's ideas 2016/04/22 23:26:34 +0000 Comment by KayfabeAdjace I like how smoothly Bill equates "I hadn't heard of him yet" with "must not have been mainstream yet." 2016/04/22 23:19:19 +0000 Comment by Omar Atassi @tal718: I know right 2016/04/22 22:17:00 +0000 Comment by user6125721 Purple Rain - It's totally about JC- from Prince himself: "When there’s blood in the sky - red and blue = purple.. purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god"guide you through the purple rain" 2016/04/22 21:55:19 +0000 Comment by Rick Gee @jthjdrkll: Follow the money.
